Nail Files [8]

Last weekend I went down to Texas for my BSF's wedding. 
{Feel free to check out my recap here because it turned out SOO pretty!}

The day before her wedding, our whole bridal party went to get our nails done. 

If you've been around, you know my love for shellac. Doesn't chip, stays looking like this for 2 weeks +, and makes my nails super hard so they grow better! 

I figured since her colors were pastel that I would go with something soft and subtle + who doesn't want an accent nail?

Please don't mind this gorgeous 3k cushion cut just laying on my finger!

 My friends father owns a jewelry store so we went to get our rings cleaned and  to try on some massive stones!

I told CT I needed something like this for our 10 year anniversary. 

It was only $26k, just a small car on my finger. No biggie! 

Recap: BSFS Wedding!

This past weekend I traveled down to the good ol' town of Texarkana to participate in my b.s.f's wedding! 

This weekend we had lots of coffee, a hot yoga date, and great food. 

Her wedding was extremely beautiful, an absolute fairytale. 

I don't think I have ever seen someone so in love and so beautiful. 

She really did make the perfect bride. 

Succulents, burlap, moss, pastel colors, monograms. 

It was gorgeous!! 

And the other good thing about weddings, is you get the opportunity to meet new friends. 

Meet Leslyn. 

She blogs over at Leslyn's Lovely Life. 

I love catching up with old friends and meeting new friends, and weddings are the perfect place to do that.

PS- I also realized after seeing how beautiful her wedding was, I wish I could redo mine with the help of pinterest!

FOOTBALL Friday!

I am so excited to kick off football season with this post! 


CT, my hubby, is a college football coach at our alma-mater Friends University. He was a receiver in college and is now the head receivers coach at FU, and he loves every second of it! His ultimate goal is to one day be an offensive coordinator at a big D1 school {hopefully KU}, and I will be here every step of the way supporting him. 

I was quite the football groupie {aka great girl friend} in college and I still am now as a coaches wife! 

Let me take you back in time a little bit. 

{Freshman year of college}

{Sophomore year of college}

Junior year of college CT tore his ACL one of the first practices, so he had to medical red shirt this year. 

{Senior year of college}

It's crazy seeing how much we grew up in those few short years of college!


Check out how creative I was with my fashion during our college football days. 

Sometimes I wish I could still wear these, because they are so cool.
 I love that my dad passed on the creative gene to me. 

I have the shirts saved away for the day when we have a man cave basement. I have already consented to it being decorated with all our sports memorabilia, so these will hopefully one day be framed on a wall. 


Now to present day football! 


I am looking forward to Saturday evenings under the bright lights, watching CT walk up and down those sidelines in his headset. 

I am anxiously awaiting Sept. 15th when we are going to our annual Cowboys game. Yes ya'll, we are die hard Dallas fans! 
{Don't you know, it's America's team. They even have a hole in their roof so God can watch His team. =)) } 

I can't wait to break out the skinnies and boots, for some fun fall football fashion. 

 {This is definitely not the type of football fashion I'm talking about!}



Can't you tell how excited I was about kicking off football season. 
SO excited - that I didn't have a clue where I was going with this post. 
EEKK! 
Happy football season! 


PS - I hope you link up with us to showcase your football Friday posts!
