Still drinking green beer...Four days later.

Three dollar pitchers. Hells yeah!....of green beer. Yes. We are that cheap.



Nope. Not drunk.

                                         

Happy Birthday Hunter!
 

Taking shots on a week night is ALWAYS never a good idea.

So, last weekend Sam went to Chicago to visit his brother for a guys weekend. (It just happened to be St. Patty's weekend.) I got pictures like this all weekend....

This is McFunnigan. Soo Attractive.

                                                       

Molly said she was trying to be me.

While the boys are away, the girls go out to play! 

Ha. or bar hop.

Same difference. It was as exhausting as it sounds.  

Sorry for the iphoneography! It is just far more convenient than using my camera.

 

 

On a more depressing note: WEDDING PLANNING. I'm sorry if you think otherwise, but let's be real.  Wedding planning is seriously depressing and surprisingly discouraging.  The pros all say to wait a couple of months after you get engaged to let it set in. I/We did. So at the beginning of this month I started weighing my options for venues and what not.  After what I thought was the most generous and amazing! offer turned out to have hidden restrictions and motives, I will be thinking looong and hard before I accept any more "helpful offers." Besides that having divorced parents who live in two different states makes the whole budget talk even more awkward than it already has to be.  See. Fun stuff, right?

Welcome Aboard the U.S.S. Crazy Ship

Welcome to my new blog! I have never had a blog before, so this will definitely be a learning process!

I have decided to start this blog because I have so many new, exciting and big changes going on in my life right now.  And I need a creative outlet that doesn't leave a mess all over my house.

• The first and most exciting event in life so far is that I am newly engaged to this sweet boy and cannot wait to see where our adventures take us!

(Sam proposed on New Year's Eve 2013! He is my lobster.[more on that on a later date.]) Our wedding will be held in the Spring of 2014. There will be lots of planning in my  our future.

• One of my best friend's got engaged eleven days before I did and she has asked me to stand beside her on her big day and to be her Maid of Honor! After two glasses of wine how could I say no?!....Just Kidding Mo!

I guess we are all getting to be around that age...

• I started a new job the end of January and I could not be happier!  This opportunity literally landed in my lap and I am beyond thankful for it.
• Spring Kickball Season started last week and that is always a blast! I highly recommend that you get in on this action! This will be my fourth season playing and Sam's sixth.  A great way to spend time with friends and  relax drink.  It's our Thursday night Drinking Club, but totally counts as excercise. Check it out here.
• The last weekend of April I am going on a bacheloreette beach weekend for my friend Nicole with a great group of girls and I could not be more excited for her!  I don't know whether I am more excited about the beach or drinking out of penis shaped straws all weekend.
• Then in May, I will taking a long weekend to go to New York City and help Mo SAY YES! TO THE DRESS. I have not been since I was sixteen and I think that this trip will be a completely different experience!
• AND most recently...today was Match Day and my future sister-in-law is now officially a resident for a great hospital in Chicago! Congrats Dr. Lauren! I am so proud of you!

There are so many other great things and experiences coming my way in the next couple of months that I will stop there for now.

I am not entirely sure what direction I want to take this blog in or a label to put on it, so I think I am going to let it just evolve over time and see what happens. What I do know is that I am going to be myself.  This blog is about me, my life, and finding the happy medium.  This will not be all butterflies and fluff because...let's be real.  Sometimes shit happens.

I like the unknown of it all.
