Fall and Thirsty Thursday!

Wow it's been such a busy day I almost didn't have time to blog! Buuut I cannot stop writing and thinking so I just had to blog! Happy Thursday, almost Friday everyone! I drove to work this morning and saw this beautiful beautiful sunrise.  I leave for work around 6:30..a couple weeks ago it was so sunny as I left my house. Now, I leave in complete darkness and see the sun rise! It's bittersweet.  I hate getting up when it's still dark out, but I love watching the sun rise.

Also,some of my favorite aspects of fall! Winter is coming and I'm getting excited about ski season..but I'm going to miss frolicking in the snow with my roommates as we trek to parties or up to campus in knee-deep, sparkling snow. But there's something about fall. The crisp air, the amazing smells inside the Yankee Candle store, the cuddling up on the couch in cozy blankets with loved ones, and the fact that winter is right around the corner.  Man, I love fall!

I also love Thirsty Thursday! I've had the urge to have this drink since I can remember..I saw the recipe a few months ago and loved the fact that it was made in a COCONUT! Bars and restaurants I go to here up in the Northeast don't exactly have coconuts hanging around..so I'd have to have it in a regular ole' glass. The coconut just makes it though don't you think?

It's called the Pink Bikini..Here's the recipe and it makes a drink for about 10!

1 (1.75 liter) bottle raspberry lemonade
1 3/4 cups coconut rum
1 cup amaretto liquer

Mix it all together and pretend like you're in Hawaii or the tropics!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here's what I'm happy about in my life and what I'm loving today! :)

My snuggly muffin boyfriend (yeah I went there..but he's just so darn cute!) Through this argument with my friend, he's been right by taking my side, but at the same time, he's telling me not to worry and things will turn out good in the end.  God I love him so much! There's nothing better than waking up next to him every morning feeling his cozy body next to mine..ahh the life!

I'm loving Dunkin Donuts iced tea.  I'm not a coffee drinker, hell I've never had coffee in my life! So to feel cool, I have to have something in my hands to fit in with the coffee crowd! hah just kidding.  This morning though, arriving at work at 8 AM an iced tea was in order..it just immediately made me happy.

I love that I'm going to play barstool trivia tonight at a bar near my house.  Every Wednesday night I get together with my parents, my aunt, boyfriend, and one of my best friends and we try to win first place..though we always come in like third or fourth! (even last place one time..oops!) It's a great time just to get together with everyone on hump day, have a few cranberry vodkas and pizza, and just let loose as we rattly off celebrity gossip, geography, and music news.

I'm loving that Verizon is moving towards selling the I-Phone.  Don't get me wrong..I love my Blackberry baby..but an I-Phone..they're awesome.  I have an I-touch and love the feel of it. So I hope they come out with that.

I'm loving my job. I thought I'd dread waking up at 6 to make the commute but I honestly love it. I feel so blessed to have an amazing college education that got me this amazing job! Now I just need to get past the entry-level fright and be confident in myself!

Loving life as I walk into my palace (kidding...its Mandalay Bay  in Vegas..a girl can dream!)

This is some stuff that I'm loving today! What are you guys loving!

Wedding Fever!?

I haven't blogged since Friday!  I don't know how it works in the blogging world..do we blog on weekends?  Is it like a job where we take it off?  I don't know!  But I really didn't have much time to blog this past weekend.

So I have wedding fever.  I don't know what it is.  I'm 22, and want to just plan a wedding!  I follow a bunch of blogs where girls are engaged, girls are planning their weddings, girls living their lovely married life and I just get very anxious!  

 

How cool is this Tiffany's cake with mini cakes!

I've been with my hunny for 4 years..we aren't engaged..but I just get so excited about stuff like this..what can I say. So yesterday, as my boyfriend cooked dinner for us, I was furiously typing away on my laptop.  I was browsing wedding sites, vendor sites, photographer sites..frequently asking him if he would like tall centerpieces or what he thought about a photo booth.  He had no idea what I was searching on my laptop, so naturally he got suspicious after questioning him about centerpieces, garters, and chicken or fish.

Every time I watch "Say yes to the dress," I go on their website and search gowns upon gowns.  I already know I'm going to be the family with the big entourage that the girls HATE!  Kleinfeld Bridal will definitely be on my list of wedding dress stores to visit! I've already decided I want a late spring, early summer wedding and have a light blue and white nautical color theme wedding in Newport, Rhode Island at the Belle Mer.  Did I mention my dream wedding is a lot of $$? Haha yeah..it's a dream, people...but we'll see.  Now all I need is the ring!

I don't really know what got into me! Has anyone ever had this problem when they weren't even engaged!? I don't want to rush our relationship but how long is too long to wait?  We are very in love..both have amazing jobs (though I just started mine a month ago).

Plus, my college roommates want to be in a wedding! Haha! Am I too young to think about marriage?  College just ended and I'm starting life in the real world..but I cannot get this wedding thing out of my lil head!
