San Fran

Little Tabasco made my day.

Sean worked a lot so I spent some time in the room, hotel gym, and wondering the streets of San Fran.

 The food was to die for... what you don't see is the wine and it was just as good.

I am sad to report the Sean ended up in the ER with his first kidney stone. It was a little crazy, but his new boss was amazing. T and his wife came with us to the hospital. They waited and supported us while Sean and I waited for word. It was nice to have that kind of support considering it was Sean's first week of work.

Weekend Recap

Loving everything about this. 

 The weekend was a total success! We celebrated our good friend Jessica’s birthday with a huge bash. Jessica’s birthday is always celebrated with a bar crawl that is themed “Rowdy Randy Catholic School Girls” Sean dressed up in his nicest catholic school uniform aka: a nice suit and tie with a pair of AWESOME red chucks.  I hadn’t seen him look that good sense we got married. I couldn’t help but stare at my hot, hot husband. How did I get so lucky? I wore a short plaid skirt, blue button up shirt, knee high socks and no Catholic school girl outfit would be complete without pig tales.

Not the best picture of me, but the only one I have of my outfit

Isn't he Hott? 

Our group of friends is nothing short of incredible. I am just in awe of how accepting, loving, and talented. We had a great time out celebrating Jess. She has been through a lot this year and I think everyone needed a chance to let loose and love on her. We danced, walked between bars, dance, and then put our friend in a cab. Sean and I went over to another friends after sat in the hot tub and talked about life’s great adventures. 

 It was a great night filled with love, laughs, and dancing. I came home feeling so secure in my life and friends. It was great to be able to love on all of our friends. There was no drama and I didn’t see anyone without a smile.

 We also saw the secret life of Walter Mitty. It made my heart sing. I love the movies that you leave wanting to be better than you are. It made me think about living. Truly living. I keep going back to how a felt a few years ago when I felt like I was living like every day was my last. I felt very fulfilled. After watching the secret life of Walter Mitty it made me want to spend more time in the moments truly living them.

Sunday run down. What’s your week look like? 

On Style

I am missing my bangs. Thinking about bringing them back? 

I have never felt like I had a personal style. I've always worn casual clothes, never felt trendy or "in style". I have tried a couple time to mimic someone else rad style. It never fit me... I looked silly like I was wearing someone else. 

In the last couple years I have been trying a more trendy style with some staple pieces. That is what originally brought me to thifting. I wanted to spend less on clothes that would probably be out of my closet by the end of season. I wasn't comfortable in the second hand stores at first. I don't know why, but I wondered who was in the clothes before me. I wanted to wash them a hundred times before I even tried them on. I have gotten over all of this

I want to commit to only buying used clothing for the year, but I don't want let myself down when I need something that I can't find used. So, I am going to make a goal to only buy used. I will give myself a couple (5) items that can be purchased new. I am going to start this now and go until my birthday September 27th, 2014. 

Lets see how it goes. I am sure you want to see this all come to life. 

These pants

I am in love with these pants and these girls

a little of this and little of that.

     We had a mid-week sleep over with Olivia this week. It went very well considering it was a school night. I know what you all are thinking...  You let her have a sleep over on a school night? Well, no not exactly it was Sean. When I heard him say it I was completely amazed. Eli even looked at him and was like "what"???? I was surprised when he backed himself up. Dakota and Corbynn don't get weekends here so Sean thought she should have a chance to have a sleep over too. It was super cute.

 Bad parent moment of the week was showing up at gymnastics after three weeks of not going to find out it was their mid-season performance. Luckily Oma and Opa had come just to watch them and take them to dinner after. It was good timing. Koda did her one handed cartwheel for the first time. It was awesome, totally awesome. She also did her front hand spring off the beam. I can't believe how far both of them are coming.

Just me being a mom.

Today.

Corbynn stayed home "sick" today. She just seemed off. Do you ever keep your kids home because they just don't look right?

Trying to get my water and steps in today!!

Still feeling a little pale myself. I cleaned my kitchen spotless and normally that would have cheered me up, but I can't smell how clean it is. Took all the fun out of the clean. 

Relationships and Communication

    It is hard to believe that that so our ENTIRE lives revolve around just these two things. What is said, what isn't communicated clearly makes all the difference. I find that I don't communicate clearly when I am under stress. I have a very hard time saying what I need to when I think it is going to hurting other people. I am a true PEOPLE pleaser and it has led to bad business. I have had a lot of give my business trying to help people get on top. I am learning very quickly why people become hard business players because people take advantage of you. They use you and never look back because it is all about them.

    Sounds harsh I know, but it is SO true. I hate when people commit to something and then bail mid-way through drives me crazy. People shhezz..

 

Have a told you about my thrifting obsession lately? Hi my name is Kayla and I am a thrifting addict. I love to stop and look through the stuff. Normally I don't leave with much but it always puts a smile on my face when I found something amazing. Today I went for girls snow boots and found them at the first stop. They aren't amazing but they are nice enough to last a few month until the snow lifts. They may only last until I find a cooler set. It is kind of like my own personal crack; the feeling of the chase, then if it fit/works and then the awesome feeling when I look at the price tag and realize I am only spending 2.99-10.00 dollars instead of 50-100 on an item. My husband thinks I am crazy but I think that I am in constant looking the amazing deal/find. It seems like if you don't go all the time you don't find the deals. So I go when I can.

 

More on this later!

I have been sick as fuck this week sorry guys for the lack of posting.
