Add a Little: Date Night

On Saturday the boyfriend and I went to Steinmart to look for watches. (Luckily I have an amazing boyfriend who will go shopping with me ) I've reallllllllllyyyy wanted one lately and Steinmart usually has some for cheap. I have watches for work, but they are plastic and boring and I feel kinda gross wearing them outside work. plus I wanted an oversized man watch. And luckily that was exactly what I found!! I'll post pictures of it tomorrow!

After Steinmart we hit up Mooyah burger for the best food EVER. Im going to be bold and say that they have the best veggie burgers ever. and fries. I hope that they have one near you. and if there is, you must go.

yuuummmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy!!

I really wanted boyfriend to get these sunglasses. I think he looks super rockstar sexy in them, but he disagreessss, so I just have this photo to look at. Maybe I can ge tthem for him for Christmas, and then when his break he can wear them??? Maybe???

I hope everyone is having a great start to their week!

Add a Little: Friday Night

"its friday, friday, gotta get down on friday"

What I wore: top: thrifted, skirt: Target

On Friday night I was put on-call at the hospital. Sadly, its not as exciting as it is on Grey's Anatomy. I dont get cool pagers or anything like that and I dont get to run dramatically through the hospital when Im called. For me, being on call just means that there are not many patients on the unit and they dont want to be over staffed, so I stay home and make $2.50 an hour waiting around for them to call me.

So, since I had this unexpected time off, my stepdad decided we would have a girls night and he took my little brother out while me, my younger sister, my baby sister and my mom stayed home and baked cookies. It was a really great night even if it didnt last long. Thrity minutes later I got called into work...

Add a Little: Parks and Rec

My twin sister just came back from New York, and brought me back the coolest souviner, a water bottle from my favorite tv show: Parks and Recreation

I think that this show is genius!! I can't wait for the new season to start!!

I ended up sleeping most of the day since I work tonight, but luckily I was able to go eat with my little sister at our favorite resturant, La Madeline!! I love their ceasar salad and the bread with jam!! its the perfect meal.

Here is what I wore:

top: Target, skirt: AE, shoes: Steve Madden, bag: thrifted

Its not the best outfit ever, but I just threw it on after the shower and ran out the door.

Add a Little: Rainforest

Hey peeps, sorry its been awhile. I've been busy with the move, and celebrating my anniversary with the boyfriend and working overtime...

Also, I can't find my camera charger... so I cant post any outfit pictures or anniversary pictures.

Hopefully I'll get a new charger tomorrow and I'll have new pictures up tomorrow,

Unitll then I have a few pictures that are a little out of order. On Sunday me and boyfriend went to Moody Gardens in Galveston and went to the Rainforest Pyramid there. It was SO COOL! I loved it.

under the waterfall of mist!

to be fair I didnt take this one, and I butterfly didnt land on me, it was on boyfriend. I was sad none of the butterflies liked me

I spy a sloth...

What I wore: top: Target, shorts: Forever 21, belt: thrifted, earrings: Jessica Simpson

Luckily I was cancelled from work tonight, so I was able to relax and spend time with my family and my sister came home from her trip to New York! It was very exciting. I also bought some magazines that I'd been long awaiting!

The September Issues baby!!

Add a Little: Moving and Secret Suprises

Moving sucks.

I know I promised a new Outfit Of The Day post, but things have been so hecktic (is that a real word??) lately that I have not had the time to get the pictures from the camera to the computer. In fact I havent even been on the computer for several day now! Im typing this at work! (Shhh dont tell). I've also been working overtime at the hospital, so between work, sleep and packing and cleaning things have been very very busy. But we have to be out of our house by Saturday, so hopefully the maddness will be over then!!

So yesterday was my lovely anniversary with my amazing boyfriend! and I didnt get to see him at all!! He works during the day and I work nights, so we completely missed each other! I had planned on surprising him at work, but that never worked out because I was so sleepy when I got off work. Luckily, we had already planned a full weekend celebration!! :) We did celebrate a little early on Monday and he went to see Stupid, Crazy Love with me. Great movie!!! It was one of the best movies I had seen in a long time like that. It had a special warmth to it and its days later and Im still thinking about it.

hey Ryan Gosling.... liking the V-Neck

Secret Surprise Time:

Today I had a meeting at work and was held here later than normal, so it gave me the perfect amount of time to stop by my boyfriends work to surprise him with his favorite cookies! Golden Oreos! He had sounded kinda sad on the phone, so I figured he needed some cheering up. So I was the first customer in the store and made him smile! :) totally worth the sleep deprivation :)

Add a Little: Anniversary

Tommorrow is my third anniversary with my boyfriend!! It seems like so much longer than 3 years!!! We have spent the last 3 years going to school in different states, so we only saw each other on holiday breaks and the ocassional visit. But! he graduated in May so now he is home with me!!! Im so excited about spending so much more time together and him being 20 minutes away instead of several states away. So, that makes this anniversary the most special one so far. Because its the start of our lives being together, like normal couples get to! It may sound lame, but its so exciting for me. I dont have to go months without seeing him! Just a few days. Its very very exciting. So, in honor of our anniversary tomorrow, here are some pictures of us over the last 3 years (in no particular order)

and, becaues I know He reads my blog:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!! I love you so much, your my best friend and your amazing! No if ands or buts!

to everyone else, sorry for the sap, I only get to do it once a year. I'll have another outfit post for ya tomorrow!
