this week

we are absolutely thrilled.  savannah was accepted to University of Georgia!!

for those of you who aren't local, UGA has an early action application time, which is tougher to get approved for but Savannah found out friday that she's in!!

UGA has everything she wants

big SEC football playing school

greek life

great college town

& rigorous academics

(& dan and i are thrilled as it's only an  hour away!)

She is also applying to Auburn, UNC and probably an ivy--just to see)

she also celebrated her bestie's 18th birthday.

they had a weekend full of fun which included the midnight showing of rocky horror.

actually, is there any other time to see rocky horror?

& yes i allowed her to go. judge me.

some other images from the week....

i've looked for some new cowboy boots for a while. found a pair this week that i am completely in love with and might just be seen wearing on a daily basis.

 have also looked for a fun holder for blankets in the living room. ran across this one at restoration hardware.

the taller one is also quite fun but looked a little more hamperish to me. shout out to the rh employee that had the christmas spirit and sold me what was to be a catalog only item displayed in the store.

enjoying this lately

(tea cups from starbucks)

madison cheering in the varsity playoff game which technically was not this week but i wanted to include her :)

our 90pound "lap dog"

had to share some caroline funny's of the week.

we have elf on the shelf

do you?

little elf , affectionately known as little nick at our home

is mischievous and visits different places all over our home while we sleep. little bit wakes up each morning & hunts that little fella down.

during the day however, she wraps him in her favorite snuggly scarf & he sleeps by her christmas tree.

 went to tuck her in the other night & opened her closet to turn out the light & this is what i saw...

baby girl has a plan.

outfits all matched up for the week ahead & even little post it notes on future wardrobe choices.

i'm giving a varsity effort on keeping things calm around here.

almost done shopping

& even finished some wrapping.

completely enjoying listening to christmas music.

mercy me holiday mix as well as chris tomlin holiday mix on pandora are my current faves.

however if i never hear josh groban's 'o holy night', that will be aok by me.

sorry josh, never been a fan.

enjoy your weekend!

(we might see snow--which is completely unheard of in middle georgia in december!)

maybe santa will show up early with these!!!

if not, these will do just fine!
