SOC formal

I was able to get off at lunch on Friday so I would have time to get ready and not rush. So of course I celebrated with a large lemonade from Chick-fil-A. That stuff is INCREDIBLE. I could drink it for every meal

 

I curled my hair that morning before work just in case I wasn't able to get off early so all I had to do was touch it up and re-do my makeup. Matthew picked me up at my apartment and Ethan met us over there as well and we headed to the church to meet up with everyone else. We ended up having to drive separately since we had so many people going, but it worked out because all three of us were going to Murfreesboro after.

We stopped at Demos in Lebanon and had to wait a little bit so they could clear our a whole room for us. Demos chicken and rice soup...so delicious!! I ordered the fettuccine but next time I will be ordering the endless soup and salad for sure!

 

My handsome date :)

We headed to Opryland hotel after and made a huge group picture on the grand staircase and then we all split up and make our own pictures and got to walk around to see the lights.

some of the SOC guys

 

The lighting in there was terrible as always. We did have some made on a nice camera. These are all made from our phone. When I get the group picture and ones from the camera I will share!

The Christmas lights there are always so so pretty! And there are a ton of them!

SOC formal

F R I D A Y

Is finally here! I have been counting down the days until THIS Friday would get here! I mentioned the other day about SOC formal, and it's tonight!! I am SO excited! I was always a little disappointed that I only got to dress up for some formal event in high school once. Most of my friends went to multiple proms and multiple formals. I absolutely LOVED getting dressed up for prom my senior year and making pictures. When I found out we were having a formal this year I was super excited and was on the look out for a cute dress! A couple of weeks ago I found my dress at a local consignment dress shop back home. The price was GREAT for what I was getting AND they will buy it back for the same price. HOLLA!   We are leaving this afternoon and heading to dinner and then to Nashville. We are going to look at the lights at Opryland hotel and make pictures. Have I mentioned how excited I am? Dressing up and making pictures with my good lookin man and some of my closest friends?! Seriously, what more could a girl want?! ;) I get off from work at 3:30 and we are leaving at 4:30 so I have asked to take off a little early, praying we are slow enough that I can!!   Make sure to follow along on my Instagram to see pictures tonight!

Weekend recap: Sunsets and bridesmaid dress shopping

I had to go home this past Friday night to get my bridesmaid dress sized and ordered for my best friends wedding next fall. I love our hour drives to and from home with Matthew. We talk about anything and everything. And most of the time it's without any interruptions, we don't get cell service most of the way ;) We also get to enjoy theses views. I probably have about 50 pictures on my phone of sunsets, they just keep getting better and better!

Kathleen had a $20 off coupon for all of us to use on the bridesmaid dresses...score! After that we went to one of our favorite pizza places in town, Sir Pizza. Seriously the best and we ended up talking for so long we were the last ones there! It's always so good to just catch up with your best friends over good food ;)

Saturday was busy and I didn't stop until that night. I went to my sisters basketball practice for a little bit and then headed down to Nashville to pick up my contacts at my eye doctor. Then ran a few errands back in town. We were having girls and guys night with the SOC that night so we had to head back to Cookeville that afternoon.

Again with the sunsets...I just can't stop!!

The girls night theme was spa night and the guys were having a video game tournament. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing for us girls! I picked up some face masks at the store and made a lip scrub. I cut up come cucumbers as well ;) we watched Safe Haven and had pizza.   The guys had a pretty intense night of basketball and football tournaments/playoffs I heard...

  Sunday it rained ALL day long. A group of us went to lunch together after church and then after that I was out. I took a long nap and it was GREAT. The perfect weather for a Sunday nap after church. Seriously, those are my favorite. After church last night I cleaned my apartment some and washed my sheets. There is nothing better than climbing into bed with clean and warm sheets fresh out of the dryer. I was out like a baby last night!   There is talk of some snow showers today, it is very cold and windy. I am missing the fall weather. I feel like we went straight from summer to winter. I am hoping and praying for good weather this Friday! We are having our first ever SOC formal! I have been counting down the days for this! I got my dress a couple of weeks ago at a consignment dress shop back home! It was a great price AND they will buy it back for the same price! The lady told me they had just gotten the dress in that week, so I was pretty darn excited! I have never worn this color (with a formal type dress) and I have been trying to decide on makeup options that I want to do! I'm just working with what I have but of course Pinterest is helping ;)
