Oh de happies and de crappies

Not sure where that weird accent came from....maybe its because I went out with mah frans tonight. (because I'm definitely writing this post on Thursday night, not Friday. Is that cheating?!)
And it was fun.

Or maybe its because Drew and I talk to each other in weirdo nerd voices all the time...

Whatever.
               

Time for that beautiful glittery button link-up with Stephanie and Sarah BECAAAAAUSE........

Get out of my head, Rebecca. 

crappies

Drew was in Dallas A LOT. AGAIN. 

I had to do homework?! Ew.

I overslept twice. 

Had this terrifying realization that including spring break and the Wind Ensemble tour, I only have two weeks to prepare for my graduate recital. NOT READY!! Not even close.

Had to write my first "I'm disappointed in you" email to a few of my students. Bummer.

happies

Drew finally got sworn into the Army!! YAY!!! Super congrats to my man, and prayers for us as we will be starting a LDR (long distance relationship) at the end of May!

Successfully trimmed (a whole inch!) off of my bangs by myself! I was sure I'd end up having to shave my head like a much less dignified Natalie Portman. 

Also successfully (ok, credit goes to my roommates Abby and Christina) dyed my hair a few shades darker, so basically I'm a new woman! See photo here

Baylor Jazz Band concert on Tuesday- played my all time favorite, Pretty Road by Mariah Schneider.

You should take the time to listen to this, I promise your life will be changed!! And you can leave me nasty comments if you hate it.....but you won't.

Chatted with my Texas Music Festival soulmate, Emily. She's the bomb. Super talented flutist, super funny, super down to earth. I kind of love her....and gosh darn it, I miss her! Hoping to see her before I head to England in the fall!

Cheesin' with Emily, sportin' the "concert black" 2011

Went to Chuy's (OK, so I go to Chuy's every week- so shoot me) with some music grad friends of mine. 

Saw Sarah there, totally unplanned- LOL, we like our margaritas, ok??

Strawberry, Mango swirl,  and Prickly Pear margs (not all mine-promise!)

 Beautiful flute ladies- Catherine and Alison

Freakin adorable Darbs and our brave man, John

And finally, I FINALLY convinced Darbi to start a blog. Not only is she freakin adorable, but shes freakin hilarious and you will absolutely not regret heading on over to her blog- Table for One.

(Seriously guys, I've pretty much peed from reading every one of her posts.)

Want more updates? Follow me on twitter and instagram!

Now I command you, go forth and have a rockin' weekend.

This and That- PINK

Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you have a significant other or not, I hope you take some time love on yourself. You are so special and you deserve to be happy! Today I'm linking up with Jena and Katie for This 'n That Thursday! 
This is Sarah holding our Chuy's margs. Isn't she adorable? Not only is she adorable, but she's the best.
Seriously.

This date was titled Hormones and Happy Hour. I think Sarah came up with name.
*The "hormones" part was me and the "happy" part was Sarah, but she successfully made me happy as well.

That is really bright pink. I ordered it because it was really bright pink. And the nice waiter brought us samples. And the nice waiter maybe brought us samples because they were having a contest of who could sell the most of the really bright pink thing.

This is the necklace I purchased at the Forever 21 (for $6.98) after said Hormones and Happy Hour. 

Definition: retail therapy. Am I right?

Next day went to Target/Tarjay and wanted to buy everything  and bought these super cutie fringe boots that were on clearance ($25)! I've had my eye on boots like this for awhile. Woooooo! 

Ok, I maybe had a rough first half of the week and went shopping two days in a row. BUT, here's to knowing that God has a plan and trusting that life will go according to higher plans. Because my plans just stink.

Linking up for High Five For Friday!

I love Pinterest, y'all. But how often do we (I) actually accomplish the DYI or meal projects that we pin?

Yesterday, Thanks to a post by Looks Like Homemade, my freezer is now stocked with 7 pre-made yummy meals (for 2 with leftovers)! After two hours of prep time, all of these meals are completely ready to go- crock pot, go to school, done! It makes me giddy just thinking about it. 

I did make some modifications to the recipies presented (and left out the soy chicken since my main man is not a fan of soy sauce, sad day right?!) so if you are interested I can post a follow up on how the recipies turned out!

This happened. Coolest dad ever, right? :)

3.

Learned that I CAN trim my own bangs without just ruining my whole life.

Also, I love my Cover Girl NatureLuxe balm.

4.

Date night at one of our local favorites- Sams on the Square, or affectionately "Tacos and Tequila"

But seriously, white queso and black bean dip with a delicious margarita?! YUM.

Hope you all had a lovely week! Its about to be back to the grind- are you ready?
