TGIF.

My daughter has decided that naps are for babies. Her 4.5 months of life make her WAY too old to sleep during the day (or at night, for that matter).

I. Am. Exhausted.

Oh, bright eyes. GO TO SLEEP.

Indiana is drunk right now. We went from 70* on Tuesday to below freezing temps and snow on Wednesday. Seriously, Mother Nature, make up your mind.

Dot and I were so depressed with the cold that we decided to stay in our PJs all day… and jam to Britney. Only 62 more days to learn all the lyrics and choreography before Las Vegas! Take note, ladies.

Know what’s fun? Date night.
Know what’s even better? Date night with filet mignon.
Know what’s the best? Date night with filet mignon paid for by Dave Mathew.

Not THAT Dave Mathew, but close enough.

My bestie Amanda invaded the Cotten house last week to work on some wedding crafts and drink wine with me.

I say invaded because I’m still finding silver sequins in my carpet.

Can I just say that I’m uber excited about this wedding and all its festivities? Can I get a “woot woot?” 🙂

 

5.

I end this Five on Friday on a sad note. My parents made the new house official.

See that yellow striped room? That used to be my bedroom. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. *tear*
