Good Friends + Pics Galore :)

...with a side of house projects.

That's how I spent my weekend!
Fun + Productive = A good combo.

How did you spend yours?

Whatever you did, I hope it was fantastic.

Girl time is well underrated. I have the best times with my girlfriends and love that all of our guys get along so well with eachother. This weekend was one of my favorites. Friday, the girls and myself went to a place called Wine Bistro. It's a restaurant/bar with shelves and shelves of wine bottles that you can actually get up and go pick out any bottle of wine you want to drink. The price per bottle is listed on the back and the bottles are arranged by type, so it's easy to find what you're looking for or feeling to drink! Pretty cool, huh?

You can even bring in your own wine there if you want (with a corking fee, of course). We had so much fun together sharing stories and one too many bottles of wine. Afterwards, we met up with our boyfriends/husbands and went out in the Short North! :)

My girlfriend Genna and her fiance decided to have a little get together Saturday night for our girlfriend Rachel and her husbands "last night before the baby comes". Rachel's due date is soon and she is the first out of our close group of girlfriends from high school to have a baby, so obviously this is a HUGE deal. Me, Genna, Lindsay, Marissa, and Rachel have been best friends for over 10 years now and we know eachother like the back of our hands. I can't tell you how refreshing/nice it is to hang out with all of them (plus our men, too!) and laugh so hard that we are crying. Mascara running and all.. 

It's hard when all of us get together to NOT share our epic stories/old pictures (looking really unfortunate) from high school, and it usually ends with our men wondering why the heck they are with us. Just kidding...somewhat. Anyways, we spent hours talking about all the good times we've shared and it was the perfect get together to have right before Rachel and Josh welcome their baby girl in the world. :)



Lists....Billy and I's favorite way to tackle house projects. We make enormous lists of to-do's with when it all has to be done by and then just start tackling job after job. It seems to work for us and crossing things off our lists is so fun (wow, we are old). Sunday was that kind of day. We painted, sanded kitchen table (to be refinished!), worked in the yard, potted my favorite fresh herbs, got electrocuted 4 times (Did I get your attention? That was actually just Billy though. Thank the LORD he is OK!), cleaned and cleaned, then passed out after my parents had us over for an AMAZING dinner and ice cream pie for dessert. Yum in the tum. It felt amazing to check so many projects off our to-do list!

{that is mint in my oregano pot ;) I wanted to switch it up this year!}

I even got some really good mail this weekend...from my one and only Texan, Stephie. Speaking of Steph, it is her and her husbands (BBFT) 1 year anniversary today so go give her some lovin'!

Also, a special Happy Birthday to Carolyn!
Hope yesterday was fabulous girl :)

Do you make huge to-do lists too?
What did you get into this weekend?!
