Friday Faves


Favorite Moment:
I had a doctor’s appointment Monday & everything looked perfect. But other than that it was relatively quiet & boring week which I was totally OK with!  Once the weather gets cold, which it started to later in the week, I have ZERO motivation until I get used to the weather.





Favorite thing I’m looking forward to:
Having a 5 day weekend is pretty awesome! I’m off on Tuesday for Veterans Day which also happens to be TRANSFER DAY! I had Monday scheduled off & then decided to take Wednesday too since I need a day of bed rest after the FET. I’m planning on doing some sleeping in, some window painting (before the transfer of course) and a lot of movie watching on Wednesday. Having a long weekend also means that next week will be short 2 day work week too! Hooray!  So ready to take on transfer #3!

Favorite Pin:
how perfect are these boots?! OMG.  Of course this pin leads to Nowhereland!

House Updates:
This week we got our propane tank installed & filled and our gutters put on. Nothing extremely exciting, but small steps in the right direction are always good! Now all we need is our power which we are still waiting on Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) to complete. It’s very frustrating because we are pretty much at a standstill until we get power. Now that we hit daylight savings last week it’s dark at 5pm so Joe has no day light to work in when he gets off work. Since we have no power, we also won’t have heat. We need the electricity for the HVAC to be able to finish their duct work & test the furnace. My patience is wearing very thin with ComEd to say the least!



Weekend Plans:
Saturday we are celebrating my bestie Jessica’s b-day by having game night & pizza at her house. Cards Against Humanity, Catch Phrase, and Spot It are a few of the games we will be playing. I expect lots of wine will also be drank! I’m looking forward to a low-key night in with some of our very best friends. I got her an adorable personalized gift from Etsy that I will definitely share once she gets it.

Favorite Recipe:
This tomato basil tortellini (or ravs as we call it in the Illinois Valley) was so amazing!  Perfect for a blustery night, pairs well with a glass of wine, and fills up a hungry husband. 

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!  Happy Friday!

  1. Have you heard of thehunt.com? You can put pictures from pins that don't lead anywhere and it helps you find them! Maybe you could find the boots!
