We Are Going To {Party} Like It's The Weekend AND {Recipe} Of The WEEK!

We are off to Austin, TX to spend the weekend with Z's parents and their sweet puppy Major!! I love that they live in Austin and that we have a very valid excuse to go down constantly!! Here are a few of my favorite places to visit while in Austin!!

**Kerbey Lane cafe in Austin has the best breakfast you have ever had probably in your whole life! There are always a lot of weird people lurking around but Austin likes to keep everything weird! If you happen to go there you need to order the Eggs Francisco...you will not be disappointed!**

**Guadalupe Street is a must visit! They always have random vendors set up and you can do some really cool shopping at the little boutiques and Urban Outfitters.**

**Of course 6th Street is a must to visit if you like to socially drink! Z's favorite place is the Thirsty Nickle!  We are going to try to find Bachelor Brad's bar on 6th street as well!!**

 **And of course the Capitol Building of Texas!! I just love how beautiful it is!!**

I will be sure to post pictures of our weekend travels!! Okay now on to what you have been waiting for....Recipe of the Week!! I got this recipe from a previous co-worker and blogger Jennifer. She made these tasty little sandwiches for an office potluck and I wanted to make them for my new works potluck!! Enjoy!!

Ham and Cheese Party Sandwiches

mix well 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 T mustard (Horseradish or Spicy Brown), 1 T Worcestershire sauce, 2 heaping tsp of onion flakes, 1 T poppyseeds.

spread this on both sides of sliced dinner rolls (Hawaiian rolls are best).  Add deli ham and swiss cheese and place the rolls back together.  Wrap in foil and place foil package on cookie sheet.  Bake on 300 degrees for 20 min or until cheese is melted.  You may also freeze them and heat them up later.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and enjoys the beginning of summer!!!

Drama Drama {Always}

So yesterday started off being such a fabulous day, I was at work early the day went by super fast, then on the way home while chatting with my grandma on the phone I hit a HUGE pot hole in the road.  As I kept driving at a steady 40 - 45 mile an hour pace, I noticed my car was pulling really hard to the right. Me being the girl that I am and knowing nothing about cars thought I just knocked my car out of line. As to my surprise I had indeed popped my front right tire. 

Luckily I was meeting the pest control guy at our home and he was very very nice and changed my tire! Before changing it this was our conversation:

Pest guy: "I can change that for you if you want me to. It looks pretty low and you probably don't need to be driving on it."

Me: "Oh I am sure it will be fine to drive  mile or so on it. I am not too sure I have a spare tire."

Pest guy: "I am pretty sure you do, most cars come standard with them."

Me: "Oh okay well if you say so."

In the end I had to roll a mile or so to the Lexus dealership looking like this....

BUT the Lexus delearship made it better with this....

So I am a happy girl once more and will be even happier when I get my car back tomorrow!!!

In other news....I just finished reading James Patterson's, Sundays at Tiffany's. My future MIL had the book and let me borrow it. Since it had Tiffany's in it I had to read the book! 

It is such a good easy read and has such a good ending! Summer read for sure!! If you read it let me know what you think!!

Next on the list to read is Emily Giffin's, Something Borrowed. I wanted to read this book before seeing the movie but I was like a child on Christmas morning when the movie came out! Hopefully there are still some surprises left in there for me!

Hope you are all have a Marvelous Thursday and it's only one more day until the WEEKEND!!!!

Wedding Wednesday - {Bridesmaid} Gifts

Since we are coming up on our 5 month mark until our wedding, I have been struggling with what to get my bridesmaids. What do you get your best friends since you were a child? What is something you can get them that will show you have put so much effort and thought into their gift?

Here are a few things I have stumbled upon lately online that would be something nice to get your bridesmaids....

****Personalized note cards are always nice to have on hand and always nice when sending thank you cards!****

****Earrings and/or Jewelry to match their dresses and to wear again****

****Cute tote bags to carry whatever their heart desires in****

Have you given or received a really good bridesmaid gift that would be remembered?? Have you given or received a horrible bridesmaid gift? I am hoping I will find something that each of my bridesmaid's will love and know it came with a lot of appreciation and love for each of them!
