Adventure is out there!

If living in a foreign country isn't enough adventure. You might as well sign up to do a half marathon. And that is exactly what we did, Melissa, Rachael and I. October 6th, we will be ready to run the Lyon Half marathon. No big deal or anything. hehe. 

I also got my ears pierced. One just wasn't enough. So I got a second one. And don't worry I don't plan on getting any more piercings. Great News though, they did my piercing right over the freckle on my ear. Freckle no more. Sounds good to me. 

(What do you think, mom? It's just as cool as I told you it would be, right?) My cuff earring is pretty awesome!

Chambery - Take 2

Saturday, Rachel, Rachael, and I  headed out to Chambery to go out for lunch and do some shopping. It was tons of fun, filled with lots of cute clothes and yummy food. We ended up being able to go into the Chateau (castle) just to check out an art show we weren't allowed in to the real castle part but just to be able to see a glimpse was pretty cool. I got a few cute new shirts and a dress. So I am sure I will be posting pictures shortly with my new clothes on. 

Have a good hot Wednesday, hope your rain doesn't ruin your day!

CPAC 2012

Have I mentioned how busy life is but from some (nagging) I mean motivation from Andrea. I have decided to post and try to catch you guys up on my life. Now I do realize CPAC happened like two weeks ago but I have have to catch you guys up on a lot. . 

Rachel, Herman Cain, and me. 

My outfit : Gray Dress with Black Belt: Marshall's, Black cardigan: Kohl's, Black Booties: Target

CPAC was surprisely lots of fun. Sister bonding, meeting celebrities (sorta. If you consider the Duggar's, Herman Cain, and Rick Santorum celebrities.) , and just being able to see our nation's capital. It was so much fun and it was the first time I have ever been to D.C. It was a great experience riding the metro and everything. 

On our way to check out the Congress building.. 

I feel a need to tell you guys about the squirrel that about attack me and Rachel over a bag of chocolate filled crosseants. And no we are not losing our minds because two guys walking down the road realized it to. Probably the most scary part of the trip. We thought we were actually gonna have to use our Pepper Stray on that freaky creature. 

My outfit: Button-up shirt: Forever21, Cardigan: forever21,  Skirt: forever21, Boots: Target

Rachel's outfit: Stripes Shirt: from Andrea, Skirt: From a friend, High Heels: Target

Rick Santorum and me. 

 Rick Santorum for President!

Lincoln Memorial

We got to site see on one of the coldest days so I have to show you guys how I was rocking my super high leg warmer's to try to stay warm. We got to see the Lincoln memorial (On Lincoln's birthday, so cool right?) and the Smithsonian's. I now know a little more about politics :) Hope you have a great weekend. 

I Miss The Christmas Season Already. . .

I really do miss the Christmas season already. I miss the endless Christmas movies and music. I miss business of Christmas. Which my mother says what got me sick this week. I didn't know any one could feel so miserable in their life from being sick between the stomach ache, bright lights, dizziness, and being sick to my stomach. . .   I am skipping work today and am sick in bed. Since I can't play with all my new stuff or show it off by wearing it in public. I thought I would brag about it on my blog :) Bear with me, I am just a sick girl in bed, sad over the Christmas season.

So I think the thing I am most excited about are my movies. I asked for the first toy story and my grandma got me all three. I am so excited and can't wait to watch them. hehe. I will probably end up watching at least one of them with my preschooler's this week :)

My mom and sister got me Columbia jacket in pink of course because that is my favorite color. And both my grandma's got me scarves with shades of pink in them. So I will look very fashionable when I wear my new jacket and scarves out. 

I also got two books for Christmas. "Wonderland Creek" by Lynn Austin and "Sherlockian" by Graham Moore. I am so excited to read these books. Lynn Austin is my favorite author and I love any book or movie about Sherlock Holmes. 

My cousin made this for me off of Pinterest, isn't it so cute?!

These are only a few of  the awesome things I got like lace up boots, tights, fuzzy slippers, giant Tangled coloring book. . . the list is very long so I wont bored you with all of them. But I hope you guys had a great Christmas and got everything you were wishing for. 

Footloose and Feathers

This picture sums up my weekend. A bit drowsy but fashionable cute :) hehe.  It started by staying up and watching the old "Footloose" with my sister Friday night in preparation to see the new one. Follow by an early morning workout with Andrea. And a crazy over dramatic morning at work like usual.  

Shirt: Kohl's; Belt: Thrifted; Cardigan: Kohl's;  Side  Purse: Maurice's; Pants: Kohl's; Loafers: JCPenny's

But the day got a lot better when Jess and I went and got a feathers. For only six dollars. Yaya! And spent the night with friends from high school. Followed by church Sunday morning were I had a hard time staying a wake during church. Then lunch with Jess at Panera, yummy! 

Then followed by a much needed afternoon nap. And ending my weekend having dinner with Rachel and Andrea.  Hope you all had a good weekend too. :)

Friday Fancies. . . Fall Festive

Well I have to admit I thought my outfit last weekend was pretty fall festive. With its fall colors and cute accessories, I was proud of myself. I was so proud that I thought I could think of another cute fall outfit for Friday Fancies :)

It would most definitely consist of a round scarf, I am so happy they are still in this year. 

I love long sleeves and green. I am actually wearing a long sleeve green shirt as I write this blog post. What are the chances. hehe. 

Cardigans are always a must! 

Skinny jeans are the choice of jeans. 

Loafers. They're cute in there our way. And they complete a fall outfit so well :)

p.s. I am getting a feather extension tomorrow. Crazy excited about it!

Mapleside Farms

You guys have probably been wondering where I have been the last couple of weeks or you may have not . . .  But I have been super busy, working 40 plus hours, visiting friends at college, and house sitting. Yeah, it at least sounds crazy busy I feel like I haven't slept in like three weeks even though I spent all Sunday laying in bed but that's besides the point. . . 

Shirt: Kohl's; Vest: Charlotte Rouse; Head Band: Claire's; Belt: Thrifted;  Purse: Marice's; Jeans: Kohl's; Flip-Flops: Old Navy

Saturday after a busy morning at work, Andrea and I headed to Mapleside farms with our mama's. Mostly to see the beautiful view and eat some food :) Who doesn't like eating. alot. Right?!

We had lots of good fun and I got a cute picture with my mom :)

Cute And Comfortable

The other day I brought a new pair of running shoes. They are everything I was looking for: cute and comfortable. I am currently training for the Akron Marathon Relay and I am running the nine mile leg. Eeee! I am a bit nervous about it.

I have been working hard to get my mileage in and that's why I needed my new pair of running shoes because I had my old ones so long that I was getting blisters all over my feet. But now that I have my new cute running shoes. I shouldn't have any more problems running :)

Why The New Blog?

Dress: Kohl's; Sandals: Marshall's

I am back! But as you can see with a new blog. My last blog expired and every time I tried to get on it. They said I had to start a new one. At first I was mad thinking about all the time I put into the blog for it to expire.

Another reason I was originally delaying creating this blog was I am busy with work. I am blessed that I was given more hours and my boss trust me enough to give me more responsibility but the YMCA sucks at giving raises so I am still making the same amount even though I am doing more work and working more hours.

But then after all that, I put on my big girl pants and decided to start this new blog and to call it Sweet Pea's Place . . . So I can talk about everything happening in my life. From friends to work to fashion. I hope you like this blog as much if not more then the other one :)
