I think I'll go back

So yesterday was my first day in the corporate world. Like grown woman status, totes a big girl job. It was exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. I really think this is going to be a fun job, with lots of interesting projects so I'm excited to see what's in store for me. For now . . . I'll go back! 

It's funny, because I use to tell my mom all the time that I wanted to work in a tall office building carrying a brief case. Well, I'm working in a tall office building and if I wanted to carry a brief case I could. It's crazy how the Lord know the wants and desires of our hearts and does everything in His power to get us where we want to be. I totally know this is exactly where I am suppose to be!

PS- I have found a few good book series that I was obsessed with over the weekend. I had a weekend full of reading!!

I started the Surrender Series by Melody Anne. 




The fourth and final book of this series comes out in November. 
Can't wait!

And then I also started the Captive Series by Erica Stevens. 





If you have checked out my currently reading page, you would know that these types of books are my favorite. Passion, romance, and a great story line! 

PSS - I'm co-hosting a link up with Erin and Erin this Friday. We did one back in August about all things football related and we are keeping it going. Check out my August post about CT and my football journey. Football is a huge part of our lives and will continue to be until the day we die! 


Love, Fun & Fotball

Life Lately: According to Instagram

If you aren't already following me on instagram, you should totes go and do that, I'm tiffross5!


What's going on lately you ask?




I got a new macbookpro this past weekend and I'm having so much fun decking it out! I love the great deals you can get on Amazon. $1.99 for the chevron keyboard and $10.99 for the blue case, keyboard, and screen protector = awesome!!



My hubby does a fabulous job at picking out jewels for me. 
I'm obsessed.



We had lunch with one of my best friends this past weekend and her little girl Aynslee. She makes my heart happy. 




CT and I are currently working our way through all the Harry Potter dvds. We have gotten through 2/8 so far. 
Then if I get around to it, I'll start to re-read the books. Wishful thinking!



Last weekend we went to a Vows Marriage Conference hosted by our couples pastor at our church. It was extremely interesting, and it feels good to invest in your marriage and to be proactive.
Read about some of it here and check back in the next few Sunday's to learn more about what we learned! 



I have a picture of this quote on the home screen of my phone. 
A daily reminder that we all live a beautiful life. 



Nice little day date we had.
 Picnic, feeding the ducks, and some golf range!
 Cheap and fun, you can't beat that!

Read-A-Thon

Are you a closet book worm or a nerd for words? 

I stumbled across this awesome read-a-thon from Reviewing Wonderland that I REALLY wish I could take a part of.
Unfortunately, I'll be in NYC during this week, so it doesn't leave me much time to get lost in a book or two. 

If you have some extra time off for the upcoming holiday week, check it out! I'm looking forward to them hosting their Winter Read-A-Thon.




Check out my current book list here.
I'm always up for suggestions!

Books on Books

Check out my new page in regards to what books I have in my collection and what books I am wanting to read.

Any suggestions on an author or a particular book? I love suggestions from other readers.

 The next book on my Kindle app ready for me to read is Naked by Raine Miller. This is the first book in the Blackstone Affair Series.



 
CT may not love it, but I love getting lost in a story! I get so caught up in the book making me basically dead to the outside world until I finish. I read while I'm in the car (being the passenger), while I'm browning hamburger, or while CT is watching a game.
 It is so difficult for me to put down a good book!

You know you found a good book when you wish the story could continue for the rest of the characters life.

I have also been thinking about getting involved in a book club. Add that to the list of things/projects I have going on!
How does one go about joining a book club and what exactly do they entail? 
Looks like I need to do a little more research.

Easter Weekend -- OOTD

I love holidays! What's not to love about tons of food and family.
It's crazy how fast each holiday comes and goes though. Before we know it, it will be my birthday (which is a major holiday in our household ;)), our wedding anniversary, and fourth of July (my favorite holiday). 
I'm already counting down the days.

Linking up with  The Pleated Poppy.

I went shopping on Saturday morning and fell in love with this dress. The colors just scream 'spring' and I'm a little obsessed with the dresses and skirts that are short in the front and longer in the back. I have 3 of them!
 I already know this dress will get a lot of use, especially with wedding season coming up.

Besides shopping and spending time with family this weekend, I really didn't get much else done other than some reading. 
I broke my kindle a month after I got it and by the time I tried to fix it and use the warranty, it was to late. Bummer on my part. I added the kindle app on my phone and it works just as well as having the kindle! I was surprisingly shocked at how much I liked it. I am kind of over the massive amount of books I'm collecting.

 I actually finished 2 books this weekend: Rush by Maya Banks and Romeo Romeo by Robin Kaye

Maya Banks is one of my favorite authors of the naughty books I read. Rush was the first in a trilogy, and the second one comes out this month which I'm super excited about.

Do you have any book recommendations? My next series is going to be the Blackstone Affair series. Has anyone read it?
