A Fun-Filled Weekend!

This past weekend was crazy busy, but great! I was honored to be a part of one of my oldest best friend's weddings this weekend. We had a great time celebrating Eli and Matt and their new marriage! Friday night's rehearsal dinner was so much fun with old friends from home and Saturday was a beautiful day for a wedding! We had so much fun being a part of their special day.

The Original 4 :)

Sunday we went over to the Brice's to hang out and just as tradition holds, Grant and I shared ice cream. This is a thing I do with both Avery & Grant, each since they were itty bitty. I love knowing that  I can always get Grant's attention with a bowl of ice cream :)

A Pinterest Success :)

I found a "trick" on Pinterest that I've been wanting to try. Last night I decided to paint my nails and toenails myself for Eli's wedding. I normally really prefer getting a mani and pedi, but I can't justify it in the Fall/Winter. Nonetheless, I was painting away and Zack walks in to what he called "the Nail Clinic"...(he's so patient and understanding of my sometimes quirky ventures to find new beauty tricks!)

I painted away, then the magic happened...I sprayed Pam cooking spray on my wet toenails and just like that, my nails were dry!! This is the most amazing beauty trick I've found so far!! Despite my husband looking at my like I have 4 heads, it's an amazing way to quick-dry wet nails. **My only disclaimer would be to immediately follow up by washing your feet/hands in very cold water (continues to seal on polish) to get the grease off them before walking around (made that mistake).**

 Then, just like that I have salon-quality toenails all ready to wear those super cute shoes for the wedding :)

It's About Time!

It's about time I get back to blogging. I have no excuses anymore. Camp is over, life has slowed down, we are officially falling into our "normal" routine, AND we now have internet at home! I have no excuse to not keep up with blogging now!!

After a conversation with a friend from MC, I decided to piggy-back off her ideas and sort of morph my personal blog into one for both Zack and me. I love this idea of sharing our life together with others through a blog. I hope that since his name will be tied to this, I will be more intentional and persistent with keeping up with this! 

The most exciting thing we have done lately is taking Zack's FFA kids to the fair this past Monday. Talk about hilarious! I think it's safe to say the best part of everyone's day was the Bunny Rabbit exhibit (see pic below). How can you not fall in love with something that cute?! We had a great day walking through all of the agriculture exhibits and then just hanging out at the fair. I did so good this year eating- only had a country ham biscuit, corn, and NCSU ice cream (that's much more conservative than previous years).

There isn't really anything else new in the Carscaddon house except that we are both working hard and all the time and continuing the adjust to the working life and the married life. We both have finally somewhat settled in to our jobs and our home! I was so naive when I thought that as soon as we got married, life would slow down and we would have everything "figured out"- it's 6 months later and we've still got lots of moving pieces! Until next time, Happy Thursday :)
