Hamilton Family

Between us, our two families, my job and my friends I had several different birthday celebrations.  The first one was the Sunday before my birthday with the Hamiltons because Paige and Nancy we're going out of town that next day and would be gone the week of my birthday.  Here are some pictures from that celebration. I bought a cake for all of my coworkers to celebrate my and Laura's birthday. Laura's birthday was on the 1st and mine is the 3rd so I brought a cake to work on the 2nd. Here's the cake.  The Bobby Bones and The Raging Idiots concert with some of my favorite girls on the 5th. (There is a blog post about it).  The Sunday after my birthday Payden and I made a random day date at the state fair (there is a blog post about it).  The week after my birthday I had a party with my friends at our favorite store Apricot Lane. And it was a blast!!    The Horth family got together on my sister Tiffani's (21st) birthday which is 10 days after mine. We h...

I'm starting my birthday brag a little early. I can't believe I'm 25 this year! Crazy!  Happy early birthday to me. My new Origami Owl charms came in!  Another early birthday present: I finally got a Big Dipper necklace! The Big Dipper is my FAVORITE symbol of my sorority Alpha Phi and I'm so excited to have a necklace with it. I'm in love!  I celebrated my birthday with my husband and inlaws on the Sunday before my birthday. My husband gave the  best gifts, his theme for the gifts must have been "white girl birthday". Here are the gifts from him.  My inlaws made me the best dinner!  My inlaws gave me money, their name gave me money and my sister in law and her girlfriend gave me gift cards to see Alvie! Best gifts ever! Monday was Labor Day and my friend Tristan and I went on a movie date and she got the cutest WSU mug and card. So sweet!  The Wednesday after my birthday I had a birthday party with my friends at my favorite store: Apricot Lane. Here a...

Another book that my friend Tristan and I added to our book/movie list.  This book was a little hard for he to get into at first but once I did I couldn't put it down. The book was an easy read once I got into the story line. I couldn't help myself but I did shed a few tears. It was so emotion filled.  I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to see the movie here soon!! 

Another Sunday + another movie sequel= another movie date with the husband.  Payden and I have seen the other two in theaters and own them because we lived them and found them do entertaining and funny.  This movie was good but I don't think it was as good as the others. It was for sure not as funny but we did enjoy the movie.  It is filled with action/fighting scenes and has a good cast. We did really like the movie. I'd probably give it a 3.5/4 star rating. It was a good movie but not our favorite. If you've seen the others you will like it as well. 

As you saw previously, my friend Tristan and I added The Giver to our book/movie list. Welll I ended my day off with a movie date with her.  The movie was just as good as the book and had great acting. I loved the way the movie was filmed (even though at times it reminded me of the movie Pleasentville (which isn't a bad thing because I still love that movie)).  Even if you haven't read the book the movie is worth watching. I'd give the movie a 4 star rating. I think the movie is better if you've read the book but it is still really good! 

Cousin Brittney announced she was pregnant with her second child on Christmas Eve and I was so excited for her little man to arrive!  10 minutes before midnight Nolan Shawn Harrell was born on August 17th, 2014.  Today I went to the hospital to meet baby Nolan after work, hands down he is the cutest! So in love. Welcome to the family little guy!  Today I was already looking forward to meeting baby Nolan and half way through the day I got THE TEXT MESSAGE from my friend Shelby saying that baby Cash was on his way.  This afternoon, August 18th 2014 Cassius Ray Russell was born. Happy BIRTHday to this handsome little man! And I am officially Auntie Ams to another beautiful baby boy! (When will my friends have a girl?!)  I am so excited to have two healthy and beautiful baby boys that were brought into my life. Now here's to me getting to spoil some more previous little ones! 

Another book that my friend Tristan and I added to our book turned movie list. This book was great and it was a short easy read but had a great storyline! Finished it in a week and loved it! Now it's time to see the movie! 

I was excited to use my new ΑΦ Lilly tumbler at work. Cute things make me happy.  I may or may not have bought this adorable cat coin purse by Coach. (Hint: I did but it). So cute!  Probably my favorite quote from the book. Finishing up reading Allegiant finally. Excited to start If I Stay . My friend Tristan and I have added this to our book/movie club!  Finally got my Davis-Moore business cards! It's official!  Yay for new jewelry!  In love with my new stacking ring set!  Starting The Giver. Another book/movie on my friend Tristan and I's list.  Another set of stacking rings.  Loving my new Texas tshirt!  Finally picked out new glasses! Can't wait until they come in!  Finally found a cute stand for my stud earrings!  I was nominated by two friends to do the ALS Bucket Challenge. I may not have done the challenge but I did gladly donate!  Brent has another dog from a family friend that he is keeping to train. I love getting t...
