Scarf Exchange

 

 

 

 

 

About a month ago Rachel and Astleigh decided to do a Scarf Exchange and you betcha I signed up! I was so excited to see who I got and who got me! Friday after work my scarf came and I opened it right away and put the scarf on!

 

 

My scarf was from Astleigh @ Hill Collection!  I love her taste and style so I was super excited to receive one from her! She also sent a sweet card with it :)

 

I kept it on the whole night too....

 

 

 

 

And then I wore it again to work on Monday...

 

 

 

 

And I thought I would show you what I would've wore with it had I not been at work!

Instead of the jeans & booties, I had dress pants & flats on :)

 

Perfect for fall :)

 

Excuse the messiness but I found another way to tie it and I had to share!

 

 

And another :)

 

This scarf exchange was so fun and I hope to do it next year too!

 

Thanks girlies for the idea!

Show & Tell Tuesday: Our First Jobs

 

 

 

It's Show & Tell Tuesday again and today we are sharing about our first jobs...okay so I still have my first job :)

 

And I'm linking up with Andrea!

 

When I was in high school I wanted to be a pharmacist when I grew up. My auntie just so happened to be a pharmacist and she was a manager at a pharmacy a town over. In 2009 they were opening a branch in our hometown and we threw around me working there part-time as a cashier.

 

Well in March 2009 they opened and that's how my first job came about :)

 

In high school I continued to work there part-time when I wasn't in school or playing sports. I also job shadowed there my senior year so I got to see their bright and smiling faces everyday :)

 

 

I've made some really close and dear friends working at Williams Brothers.

 

Allison is my rock and I love her kiddos dearly!

 

The summer between my senior year of high school and freshman year of college I earned my pharmacy technician license.

 

 

 

 

We have Christmas parties every year and the Loogootee store sits together....we are a small group lol.

 

 

 

 

 

Last year for Halloween Ash was a mad scientist and we all dressed up as pills...I was Keflex 500mg lol!

 

I love working with Ashley, Carrie, Allison, Renaee, and Tony (our delivery driver).

 

We had so much fun dressing up last year.

We have in other years past but I couldn't find the pictures.

 

I've learned a lot from this job, it has taught me responsibility, respect for people, and compassion.

 

I love this company and everything it stands for.

 

To this day I still work there part-time :)

 

 

 

I asked Noah what his first job was and.....he worked for a pizza place in town (it's no longer there).

He mainly delivered pizzas but he also made breadsticks...

Happy Tuesday friends!!

Friday after work I had an eye appointment and I came home to this being set up....

It was sprinkling and cold and no one wants to be out in that...right??

Well I have THE BEST family and they were there happy as can be to help decorate our outside!

The finished product :)

 

Thank you Ash...you're amazing!

 

Noah and I hung around the house for the evening and then I had plans to hang with my besties :)

We were supposed to carve pumpkins...yea 3 of us did, I decided not to, one forgot a pumpkin, and the other spray painted hers (it was cute)! It was so nice catching up with my girlfriends and I cherished Friday night with them.

We don't get to see each other very often but we love getting together!

 

I think they are the cutest....aren't they???

 

Of course their pumpkins looked the best :)

 

The best of friends!!

 

 

A couple that we are friends with got engaged Friday night and it just so happens that he is our next door neighbor!!! We couldn't be any happier for them!!! They are perfect for each other :)

 

Congratulations Kent & Emilee!!

 

 

 

Saturday we had plans for a day date to Brown County...it was rainy and cold (like 40 degrees) but we went anyway because we never have a day with nothing planned.

 

What better way to start out your Saturday than with coffee and an English muffin (pumpkin) with apple butter???

 

 

 

We hit up the visitors center first for a map and things that were going on that day.

 

We knew we wouldn't spend the whole day there because 1. We had somewhere to be that evening 2. It was cold!! 3. We had to stop at the mall on the way home.

 

So we hit up a few stores and just spent the day together :)

 

His first time to Brown County :)

 

 

 

We were walking through a store and he pointed out this sign to me...could it be any more true lol???

 

 

 

We knew we were meeting up with my parents for lunch so we had a snack. They were good!!

 

 

I love everything about fall...even if it was freezing Saturday, and I couldn't pass up the gorgeous leaves.

 

Peanut butter chocolate fudge!!!

 

We had such a fun day together (probably our last one for awhile with basketball right around the corner)!

 

A late lunch/early dinner with my parents at Outback and then we headed home for a get together with our friends (no pics, sorry).

 

 

Sunday morning we had Joe...he wanted to come to church with us because he likes our children's church :)  Fine by me!!

 

His big brother had basketball games that were away so he wanted to come with us :)

 

We ate Mexican and hit up Walmart...that boy can bribe you!!!!

 

Look at his face...how can you say no???

 

Little did he know that Noah had to supervise games at one of our gyms and he was coming with lol!!!!

 

Spiderman stopped by.....

 

....we headed to the gym around 3:30 and that's where he was picked up by his parents :)

 

We loved spending time with him...after the games were over we headed to my parents' for chili!!!

My fav!!!! Then it was back home to get ready for the week!!

 

Tomorrow is Show & Tell Tuesday!!

Recipe Club- Halloween Muddy Buddy Mix

 

I decided to join Andrea today for her Recipe Club linkup :)

 

 

But first I am happy it's October 1st friends!!

 

The weather today is pefectly fall-ish :)

 

 

 

 

Last weekend was our women's retreat and we were supposed to bring something. I found this recipe on Pinterest and went with it!

 

Supplies:

9 cups Corn or Rice Chex Cereal

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 & 1/2 cups candy corn

1 & 1/2 cups Reece's Pieces

2 cups pretzels (I used the sticks)

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

Pour Chex Cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

 

 

 

 

In a microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter together on high for one minute. Stir and return to microwave, microwaving in 30 second increments until melted together and smooth. Stir in vanilla.

 

 

 

Pour chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat.  

 

 

 

Place cereal in a large zip lock bag, pour powdered sugar in, seal and shake until evenly coated.

 

 

 

Spread cereal out on to wax paper and let cool completely.

 

 

In a large bowl combine cereal, candy corn, Reese’s Pieces, and pretzels. Store in an air-tight container.

 

 

This was so fun to make and very festive for the season! Thanks for the recipe!

 

 

 

 

 

May your day be filled with all things October!
