Week Recap

This past week was delightful and packed full. Hopefully that explains my "M.I.A."ness on the blog. I apologize.


Tuesday: Natalie and I headed to Fayetteville to meet up with our beautiful friends!!!

(Front: Chelsea and Amanda; Back: Me, Ashley, and Natalie)

When we arrived in Fayetteville, we picked Ashley up and headed to Hobby Lobby and the mall for a little browsing. You know us girls....shopping is always involved! Then we met Amanda and Chelsea at Dam Goode Pies for dinner. (Yes, Fayetteville now has one!)

Two of my besties: Ash and Nat
Ohhh goodness....we always act up. Haha! Ashley was throwing things to Amanda....Figures, you can't take those two anywhere. Just kidding.

Wednesday: Natalie, Amanda, and I headed off to a meeting at Fayetteville Country Club for a shower 6 of us are hosting. This was the reason for our trip. After the meeting we had lunch at a favorite spot: Stonemill. Then said goodbye to Amanda for the day and went to our favorite spots in Fayetteville including Riffraff! We stopped by a birthday party to see the Carter's, and happened to see the Parker's too. Then it was time to head back to central Arkansas.

Thursday: Worked at Limehouse in the Heights for the day. Then headed to Benton for a Young Designs meeting and booked a new client Alisha!!! She is super, super sweet and I am looking forward to working with her. Alisha and Josh will be featured soon on Young Designs' blog so you will have to look for it! (While I'm on the topic: Do me a HUGE favor. Please!!! Go to http://www.youngdesigns-events.blogspot.com/ and click FOLLOW!!! Esp. if you are a follower of mine. I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks, you are the best!!) After my meeting in Benton, I raced over to North Little Rock to meet up with the girls! Natalie, Megan, Melissa, Mallory and I are doing a Beth Moore Bible Study! I missed the first meeting because of work, so I was thrilled I could make it to this session.

We are doing Beth Moore's "Living Beyond Yourself" study. I have never done one of her studies before so I am thoroughly looking forward to it and seeing what I learn!! Let me know if you have done this study before! I will keep you posted what I think of it.

Before I knew it, Friday was here! Come back for my next post on the weekend, including participating in the Conway Bridal Fair.

Weekly Guilty Pleasure

What's my weekly guilty pleasure?

This.... ABC's The Bacholer. And tonight is the Women Tell All episode! I can't wait to see what kind of cat-fights and claws come out tonight. Yes it is dramatic, and partially staged, but I am still addicted to watching this reality show. Will anyone else be watching?

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Yesterday was a very special man's birthday...My Daddy! Happy Birthday Dad, I love you the MOST! When Dad got home from work, he was greeted with Girl scout cookies I had picked up at Kroger. Little did I know, he had brought home a bag with 6 boxes, that had been delivered to him at his office. Great minds think alike!

Mom and I decided that we would let him open his presents first.
Daddy was curious which presents, and added a bag of his own to the pile. If you know him, this bag should not surprise you.

Looks like "Edwin Watts Golf Shop" gave him a new pair of shoes for his birthday!!! (haha)
His present from all three of his girls: Under-armor workout clothes (pants, shorts, etc.).
I knew he would be super surprised by the next few presents. Luckily nothing was breakable!
hmmmm.....studying hard about his new flowers!He has 253 bulbs to his name : ) And they will be added to our backyard in Dad's colorful garden! He was very excited! And I am wondering if maybe we will have some great flowers for the August Bridal Show. haha
After presents, we ate his favorite meal: steaks, potatoes, salad and bread. Then all hung out by the fire and watched the Olympics and Golf network. : )

Sip and Shop

Spring has sprung in Little Rock! (Or at least I hope so.) Thursday was a beautiful day and the sun was shinin'. It was the perfect day for the first 2010 Happy Hour in the Heights and Limehouse's Sip and Shop! Here are a few pictures that I took....

Lot's of Easter goodies have arrived! And I especially love the bird egg/nest in this picture.

Notice the mirrored lamp...Love it!

My favorite item we bought at Market this year...The Hog towel holder. We got Red (whoo pigs) and dark brown.

We have lots of new items coming in from market, so if you haven't been to Limehouse in the Heights yet, come by! (Or if you want to come say hello to me!)

Happy Valentine's Day

LoVe is in the Air across the country today! I won't bore you of my daily activities. It includes laundry, unpacking, and cleaning my room! HA I sincerely hope that each and everyone of you are doing what you love, whatever that may be. Hope you have a wonderful day with love ones.

Ohh and check out Young Design's Blog here for a few Valentine's Day Arrangements, I made recently for Limehouse's storefront!

This Weekend

Friday night, my college roommate Natalie and I met up for dinner and a movie. After eating at Olive Garden, we headed to see the newly released chick flick: Valentine's Day!! It has a full cast of actors and actresses. I was looking forward to seeing it. I loved it (mostly because the LA scenery & SoCal Flower Market)! It was different from what I was expecting, but I have learned through the years not to get too excited about movies. I actually enjoy the movie more that way.

Saturday, I worked at my part time job, Limehouse all day. When I got off, I met up with Aunt Becki and Uncle Tim. They were in town from Jonesboro. What was going to be a "quick" hello, turned into 5 hours of eating and laughing. We had the best time! Tim, is a country boy. Plain and Simple. Therefore he is always prepared for anything that comes his way. Example: cleaning his handy-dandy pocket knife in order to cut his rib-eye.

I met them, and Tim's sister Beth, at the flying saucer to finish watching the Razorback basketball game. We ended up at Wasabi, and guess what was going on across the street? The Ronald McDonald's Chocolate Fantasy Ball. My parents were attending. Becki found them waiting at the valet area, so guess who joined our party...Mona and Michael John! This picture was the highlight of my night. Becki showing off her "workout" outfit and Mom showing Becki her hose trying to make her feel better (fyi: her dress was floor length, AND check out her shoes : ) )
What a wonderful night on the town, and a Valentine's Eve to remember!

My Wish for Each of You

I hope each and every reader is having a wonderful day. No matter what mood you are in, or day you are having, this song has been requested just for YOU. It is one of my favorite songs by Rascal Flatts. I just heard it on the radio and wanted to share it with you. Wishing you a wonderful week and the best day ever.

Love, Shawna

My Wish:

Songwriters: Steele, Jeffrey; Robson, Steve;

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow

And each road leads you where you want to go

And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed

I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile

But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you

Is that this life becomes all that you want it to

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to

I hope you know somebody loves you

And wants the same things too

Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget

All the ones who love you and the place you left

I hope you always forgive and you never regret

And you help somebody every chance you get

Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake

And always give more than you take

But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you

Is that this life becomes all that you want it to

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to

I hope you know somebody loves you

And wants the same things too

Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

Yeah, this is my wish (My wish for you)

This is my wish (My wish for you)

I hope you know somebody loves you (My wish for you)

May all your dreams stay big (My wish for you)
