The Way I See It...

Today was uber busy…after making a list of everything I need for Thanksgiving pies and Andrew’s birthday party I was super stressed! One week from now we will be thanking God for our families and that delicious turkey in front of us…but ALOT needs to be done!

I still had gifts, cards, and clothes to buy so I threw on comfy clothes and ventured out to ease my stress…after finding I had money on my Starbucks card and treating myself to one scrumptious quad espresso, I was off on a quest! 

The first order of business was my goal weight treat…since May 2011 I have officially dropped 30 pounds! My reward for reaching this weight was a new pair of Toms and after the boyfriend surprised me with a cute top last night there was no question on what color I was going to get: 

It also marked my first ever purchase at Nordstroms…and I felt super sophisticated. I have 3 to 4 more goal weights with my eye on the prize of my first Anthropologie dress!

Next stop was another undisclosed location to get gift #2 for Andrew’s birthday weekend celebration! Let’s just say it was a fab deal and I am so excited to give it to him! 

After that, was a Target excursion which became 2 different Target adventures…there I had to get cards, gift bags, and the grey boots to go with my Thanksgiving outfit. Which are adorable! I mean check these beauties out! I had to go to another Target just to find my size! 

After arriving home and wrapping 2 of the 3 gifts I feel so much less stressed! Andrew these are for you! I can’t wait to throw you an amazing birthday bash for entering your mid-twenties!

All that’s left is gift #3, and all the sweet treats to make pumpkin pie, cherry pie, apple pie, pecan pie, carrot cake, pumpkin cheesecake and a mexican fiesta dinner! Here goes the next 10 days!
