WORK HARD, PARTY HARD

I love my job, I really do. For so many reasons. But I think I can honestly say (and I've probably said before) that aside from being close to family, my job is the number one reason I've stayed in the north for so long instead of going back to Austin (which was my original plan a year and a half ago).

Now the little family that we've all become is coming to an end, but not without something to celebrate; And how else would Ception celebrate? 

With a huge Blowout Barbecue Party of course!

The delicious canoe of seafood

Fresh veggies, dips, and homemade potato chips never looked so pretty!

Memorabilia table

One of my bosses 

(the only coworker I remembered to take a picture with all night!)

Hoppin' dance floor

And of course my hot date! (The Mom)

And not to brag, but I'm so excited about our "party favor":

Drum roll please...

An iPad!!!

This group of people is truly one of a kind and I've been so spoiled to work for such a wonderful company so early in my career, but truly thankful for the experience.

ANTHRO ADDICT

I don't have time to blog, but I have time to shop! Well, window shop because I can't resist browsing through Anthropologie online yet I also know that I cannot afford it.


I think I will blame this on Mel. I never really even knew about this addictive store until Mel used to wear all these cute dresses to Longhorn Singers and they always seemed to be from Anthropologie. I decided to check the shop out one day and the rest is history. She doesn't know this, but now everytime I browse Anthro I think of cute little Mel and all of her cute little dresses.


I am currently loving this Rising Battenberg dress; it would just look darling with some cork wedges for a summer day trip to the art museum.

IT'S FRIDAY, OH YES IT IS

1.  One song that always takes me back to my youth is     "100% Pure Love" by Crystal Waters.  We made up many a dance to this song in elementary school   .

2.  My first concert ever was     I think Blink 182; I can hardly remember! .

3.  If I could create my dream music festival I'd want these bands to be there:      Hanson, Lit, Fugees, Beatles, Silverchair, Mat kearney, Rihanna (are they considered bands?), topped off with some David Crowder Band    .

4.  The best make-out/"boot knocking" song ever is      I hmmm Bon Iver? not a song, but I imagine I'd enjoy kissing my future hubby with some Bon Iver serenading in the background    .

5.  The best concert I've ever been to was     Oh boy there have been quite a few; I can never pick a best one, every live show I go to is always 'my favorite'!     .

6.  A memorable musical moment for me was        singing "Send in the Clowns" from A Little Night Music dressed up as a clown in my 6th grade talent show. Oh yeah I was cool   .

7.  The song on my iPod that's getting the most play these days is      Rihanna's "Te Amo" (althought I just found out what she wrote the song about and it doesn't sound the same anymore...     . 

Don't forget: play along and link up!
