Better Days...

Yesterday was just 'one of those days' at work... The first thing I walked into at 8:57 a.m. was a mistake I had made and had to make-up for. What a stressful situation. From there on, [besides stressing about my mistake all day], it seemed as if everything I touched turned bad. 6:00 p.m. couldn't come soon enough!

Best remedy for a bad day?

I love sequined skirts and have been searching for a cute one for about a year now, still unsuccessful... These outfits are amazing!

{Happy} Weekend!

on the agenda:

+ Carnival in the parking lot! [It sounds ghetto, but it's the closest thing to a fair we get around here, so we'll take it!]

+ San Gennarro Feast - Yes! Two carnivals in one weekend! Cotton Candy, Mini Donuts, Cheese Curds, oh my!

+ Football Sunday, of course.

+ Halloween Crafts and Decorating! I'm heading to Pier 1 this weekend to purchase some cute new Halloween Decorations and will be making Halloween crafts as well!

+ Catch up [again] on some movies: The Town, Going the Distance, or Eat, Pray, Love?

{Wishing} You...

A very happy Thursday... The best news about today? It's almost FRIDAY!

... something special

I was thinking about it the other night, how often do we get to witness something truly special? And are we even aware of how special it is at the time?

A couple months ago, Justin and I got to watch a marriage proposal happen in front of us. At the time, I thought it was neat, but looking back, I realize how truly amazing that moment is. It is a moment that those two people will remember forever and that has changed the course of their future.A baby being born, a first date, a little girl spending time with her daddy, a child learning to ride a bike for the first time, a soldier returning home after war, a dog being reunited with its owner, etc.

What a blessing, to be a witness to these moments. From now on, I'm going to try and be more aware, more conscientious of these moments and truly take them in!
