Road Trip to Indy

This past weekend Kush and I loaded up 2.0 and headed west on I-70 to Indy to visit Aly.

It all worked out perfectly because Indy is about to host the Super Bowl next week, so they have turned downtown into Super Bowl Village. It was so much fun to walk around being tourists.

Since Indianapolis is known for Indy Car racing... they had one for every NFL team

After we had finished with being tourists for the day, we went home and got ready for dinner at Cooper's Hawk Winery.

While waiting on our table for 60-90 minutes we decided to have a mini photo shoot

{because thats what normal people do while they wait on their table - right?!}

By the time we were seated at dinner, we were starving and everything on the menu looked divine.

I chose blackened bacon wrapped scallops served with cilantro lime rice and grilled pineapple.

HOLY AMAZING!

I told Aly I might be back tomorrow for dinner, it was SO good!

It was such a fun weekend!

Thank you Aly for hosting.... I had so much fun!

Weekend Wrap Up... GNO and Channeling my Inner Bob Villa

This weekend was my annual Girls Night Out. In the past I have hosted a martini party, but this year I decided to take it to a restaurant.

We all met up at Polaris Grill. The only thing better than the delicious food was the AMAZING company.

I had friends from college, some I have met after college, and some of my closest blogging friends as well.

myself, shannon and holly

all of the girls from the evening

I went home on Saturday evening thinking that I am truly SO fortunate to have such amazing girls in my life! Thank you for everyone who made it out in the snowy wintery weather :)

**Meanwhile, back at the ranch, during the rest of the weekend, I got my Bob Villa on**

I found this large but AMAZING clock at Homegoods in the clearance section and I knew I HAD to have it!

This bad boy, replaced the previous clock that hung above my table

I LOVE the change and the statement this 5' clock makes on the wall

And then Jess found this "Keep Calm and Carry On" print laying around the house, that I have had for over a year, but never found a place for it.. and she suggested my spare bathroom.

We then headed up to Hobby Lobby to pick up crowns

And the decorating for this bathroom was complete

I had an amazing weekend!

I hope you did too!

I'll give you one last day to ask ANY question you would like of me

I will be answering them all tomorrow:)

Ask away my pretties

Columbus Blogger Meet Up

I have been wanting to host a Columbus Blogging Meet Up for quite some time now but never got around to it but when Steph contacted me about being in Columbus for the night of December 6th - I realized this would be the perfect opportunity to try to get everyone together!

So let me know if you are interested in meeting up with us because I can pretty much guarantee a night of girl friends is what we all need during the hustle and bustle of the holidays!

we will all go to Easton on December 6th
and eat here
at 7:00pm!

Let me know if you can make it! I would love to meet/see all of my fellow Columbus blogging friends!!!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was all about friends - which I LOVE! Justin and I feel so fortunate that we have such awesome friends that are able to come and visit us so frequently.

Friday night Aly came in town. One of our friends from college had a girls night in party. Jenna did an amazing job planning and her house is absolutely gorgeous!



There was a station for spray tanning, a jewelry rep and a manicurist.

My nails definitely needed a little lovin....
I'm kinda loving this color
You don't know Jacque
Some of the girls
Aly and I
After the GNI party we stopped by a party thrown for another friend who just got a job as a lawyer at a local winery called the wine guy
Congrats Joe - we are so excited for you!
All of the Tri Deltas [and Aly - an honorary member!]
you would think after 4 years of being in a sorority we would all know to be ready at any moment for a picture - but i'm pretty sure that this picture proves that we surely weren't ready
[well maybe Molly was!]

Unfortunately Aly had to go home Saturday afternoon, however before she left - we made a trip to sonic so she could experience what all of our fellow blogger friends always talk about.. so she is no longer wondering why Sonic is so delish!

Saturday night there were 8 of us that all went out to dinner. For some reason I didn't even think to bring out my camera once.. whoops! We then went out to see the UFC fight [well the guys wanted to see the fight -that is not my cup of tea]

Today was spent at work but I was cheering on my browns over the saints [the saints are my #2 team - but the browns need a win anyway we can get one! even if it is over last years super bowl team!]
Go Browns!!

Its hard to believe the weekend is already over... why is it that the weekends go so fast and the week takes so long???

I hope y'all had a great weekend

Remember - only a few more days for the CSN give-a-way - it closes on Wednesday of this week!
