Awkward & Awesome Thursdays!

Awkward

**Moving out of my duplex...it’s been my home for the last three years!

**My coworker coming to my desk, letting out little (but deadly) farts and then walking away as if nothing happened. Seriously?

**Forgetting to scramble up the magnetic poetry on our fridge when Brian’s Dad and stepmom stayed with us. Our poems were not family friendly! :x

**The amount of STUFF I have accumulated over the last few years. It’s insane.

**You know what else is insane? The number of bug bites on my feet and legs. Anybody have any little tricks to keep the mosquitoes away??

Awesome

**Moving in with my boyfriend! It’s funny, I thought it would *feel* different...like maybe I would notice a shift in our immediate universe. But it doesn’t at all, feels totally normal. :) Plus it’s super great seeing him everyday.

**Brian’s Dad and step mom coming down to help us move!

**Our friends coming to help me move AND bringing a horse trailer for all my shit!

**Memorial Day grillin’ (and bags) with all our happy helpers!

**Audio books! I have Spanish for Dummies & The Paris Wife. :)

**Brian getting up early and making me breakfast yesterday. So sweet!

xoxo, kass

P.s. Still time to be a sponsor (which just means ad swapping with me!) If you are currently up there and want to remain, just let me know!

Style Log: Lime & Navy Polka Dots...and big news(five)

 SO, I can finally tell you my good news!  

I'm moving in with Brian! :D

We've been looking for a place since forever (okay, since decemeber, but that's a long time!) and we've had zero luck.  First off there aren't a lot of options in small town USA and secondly I have a dog and people aren't to keen on having renters with pets...even though I'm an awesome tenant! That's actually the reason I couldn't mention this sooner, we were waiting for the okay on Theo.  Anyway, we crunched the numbers and it's actually cheaper if I just commute from his place...so that's what I'm going to do!

Now, the commute is going to be a bit rough (an hour), but it's not like an hour in traffic...it's an hour on a couple county black tops, lol.  I'm fine with the commute, but I've been getting a bit of judge-y reactions from people which is driving me CRAZY.  If you aren't going to be nice and/or supportive (or at least pretend to be), then just don't say anything at all!  For some reason, it's assumed I would like their opinion - when I would not.

Ack, this is getting negative.  Back to positive...Brian and I are taking the next step!

Yay for us!!  <3

Happy Monday

P.S. Oh by the by, did I mention that the Grace Potter & the Nocturnal's concert was AMAZING.  Cuz it was. :)

Sweet Love

Today is Brian and I’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Yes, we have “officially” been dating for one year! Man time flies! For those of you who have been with your mate for awhile, this may sound like no big deal,...or maybe it does? I feel like I will probably always remember that first one, right? In truth, this date, March 1st, isn’t a completely accurate record of our time together {haha}, but it’s close.

We met and had our first date on February 16 in this dippy Mexican restaurant in a town that was halfway between us. I remember thinking he looked cuter than in his picture {lol} and that he was shorter than I was expecting {double lol}. Later, I learned that he thought I had lied about my height - I had 3 inch heels on. Oh, I should probably mention that we met online {through match.com}. I used to be embarrassed about doing the online dating thing, but when you are a transplant to a very small and very clicky town, well there aren’t a lot of options. Besides, it’s impossible to feel any sort of shame for doing something that introduced me to Brian. :)

Our second date, he came up to my town and we had dinner and drinks at a local pub. We were having a wonderful time, getting along great, finding out we had so much in common...then when I was laughing at something he said I ended up spilling half my beer on him. Yeah. He handled it gracefully, but I was still insanely embarrassed. Even with the beer spilling, we stayed and talked for like 3 hours and he asked if he could see me again. I left this date knowing that I had found something special.

My mother always told me that when I met the right guy I would just know. She was right. Just in case I needed another sign, he sent me flowers at work the next day. :)

Happy Anniversary Brian!  I love you lots!

I look forward to us celebrating many more. <3

Love, Kassie

#30 Date Night

 

I’m finished. FINALLY. For real, I started to loathe this challenge at times, but I’m glad I stuck it out. I actually did it! It may not have always been pretty, but I did it, I followed through!

Anyway, Brian & I are headed back home tonight. Once we get there we are going out for sushi! I can’t wait! I’ve only had sushi once, but I loved it! I’ll be sure to take some yummy pictures.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

#24 & #25 Fiday Plumday

Happy Sunday!

I actually wore this on Friday, but I haven't been near my computer since then!  I didn't get any photos of the dressier outfit, oh well! 

 

Today my boyfriend and I took pictures for our holiday card!  I think he had more fun then he expected to, or maybe that's just what I'm telling myself?  At the very least, he played along and was a good sport about it all!  I bribed him [and my pooch, Theo] with super yummy deer jerky!  Food is always a good way to get cooperation out of men...and dogs.  :)
