So as you can see from reading my blog, I love link-ups and this one is no exception! When I saw it I thought it was so funny! Everyone thinks about the celebrities they would eff or marry! (You're lying if you say you don't) Anyways, without further adieu, here is my 1st edition of. . .
I decided to go with a theme of my recent obsession "The Voice".
I have never been into singing/talent shows, but something about this show has me HOOKED! Maybe it's the eye candy I am about to share with you. Who knows. . .
Let's get on with it. . .
EFF
Adam Levine
Need I say anymore? ;)
MARRY
Blake Shelton
Well ladies, Blake definitely isn't lacking in the looks department. He has, without a doubt, gotten more attractive with age. I chose him for marry because I love the way he loves his wife, Miranda Lambert. Also, I love the fact that he is a tall southern cowboy! :)
KILL
Cee Lo Green
Well, he's just all that's left. Cee Lo is just not my type. He is seriously like my height and that's just not okay with me. Also, his voice just doesn't do it for me. He does have such a cute smile though!
Well, there it is. My first EFF, MARRY, KILL!
Agree or disagree? :)
Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday! I am loving so many things this week!
[one]
I am loving the soup that my lova and I made for dinner tonight. I love broccoli and cheddar soup and this was no exception! It was LEGIT! What made it even better were the homemade bread bowls we made to go with it! SO GOOD!

I am loving my sweet baby girl Carlie Grace monstaaaa today! She snuggled me so hard last night before bed! I wish I could stay home in bed and snuggle with her all day!
Here is a picture of me and my sweet girl around Christmas time! :)
[three]
I am loving my sweet best friend, Leigh Ann, so hard! Since I started working we don't get to spend as much time together as we used to! But we always try to see each other at least once during the week! Typically we go to the gym together on Thursday! She came over for dinner today though and I loved seeing her! We are SO much alike and people often think we are sisters. We don't see it though! Haha.
Here is a picture of us around graduation! :)

I am loving the fact that The Vow comes out on Friday! I can't wait to go see it with my girls! Bring on the tissues. . .
[five]
I am loving that in just 128 days I will be Mrs. Brantly! Brandon got his wedding band yesterday and I was like wow. . . this is real! It will be here before we know it! I love him so hard and can't wait to be his wifey!
Today I am linking up with Just Peachy for Top Five Tuesday: Most Worn Items
[one]
sperry top siders
I really only wear these to work, but since I work M-F I end up wearing them 2-3 times a week. They aren't exactly the cutest shoes but they are super comfortable and being a teacher on my feet all day sometimes that's all that matters! :)
[two]
dresses
I would choose a dress over pants any day. In the summer, I basically live in dresses and during the fall/winter I wear them a good bit too. I buy most of my dresses from Francesca's, Forever 21, and Charlotte Russe. I love a good dress!
[three]
bobby pins
I wear these in my hair everyday. I don't like my hair in my face AT ALL, so I always clip it back with bobby pins. Brandon swears people notice me by my hair. Haha.
[four]
pearl earrings
These are my go-to earrings. Whenever I don't know which earrings to wear I just throw these on. They pretty much match with everything and I love how simple and classic they are.
[five]
cardigans
Whenever I don't know what to wear I just throw on a shirt with a cardigan. I like that I can dress them up or dress them down. Plus, I am the type of person where I am hot one minute and cold the next so I like they they are easy to get on and off!
Linking up with The Little Things We Do for Fill in the Blank Friday! :)
1. If money wasn't an issue, the first thing I'd cross of my life list is buy my sweet mama WHATEVER she wants. She has always done/given me everything and I could never repay her.
2. The smell of gasoline is something I like that other people think is weird.
3. If my life were a movie right now, the title would be "Crazy in Carolina". We have been running around like crazy between house stuff, school stuff, and wedding stuff.
4. Three things I am looking forward to this month are Valentine's Day date night with B, seeing "The Vow" with Crystal, and a long weekend coming up in a few weeks!
5. My favorite song to sing in the shower is nothing. I have never been one to sing in the shower. Just not me.
6. If I found out that the production of Oreos was ending this month, I'd go out and buy as much as I could tomorrow.
7. One thing I'll never grow tired of is spending time with B. I love him so hard. :)
Time for my favorite weekly link-up with Jamie!
Here is what I am loving this week!
[one]
WE HAVE BIG HUGE EXCITING NEWS!
We have a HOUSE! Well, not yet but we will in a few months when it is finished being built! We have been waiting for a couple weeks to see if we got the full loan approval before sharing this with anyone (other than our close friends and family). Today, Brandon got a call saying that WE HAVE A HOUSE and the sold sign will be placed on our lot this week and they will start building! We couldn't be more excited to purchase our FIRST home together! Our house won't be ready until this summer (due to the fact we don't want to break our apartment lease) so we will be moving a week or two after we get back from our honeymoon! LET THE CRAZYNESS BEGIN! I can't wait to update with pictures of the progress! YAY YAY YAY! :D

I really want these shoes that are on clearance at Loft. They only have my size left. . . so obviously that's a sign I need them, right? ;)

I made this for dinner last night. It was AMAZING! The only thing I changed is I subbed half a can of cream of chicken soup for the mayo! I am not a huge fan of mayo! You NEED to make this. It is SO delicious!

I am loving the fact that I have lost four pounds in the last two weeks without "really" trying. Yes, I have been eating healthy and working out but I haven't felt like I have deprived myself of anything! Yahooooo!
Thought this was a cute link up with Mackey Madness.
Sometimes I really want to chop all my hair off because it gets so annoying to straighten everyday and I love my hair when it's short.
Always I convince myself not to do it because I want long beautiful hair for my wedding. :)
me with short hair. i miss it! :(
Sometimes I say I am going to blog everyday!
Always I get caught up doing something else or just don't have the time!
Sometimes I clip coupons for hours and plan these elaborate shopping trips hoping to save tons of money!
Always I don't ever save as much as I want. . . even though it's always at least 50%.
Sometimes I get so mad at Brandon I can't stand it.
Always I love him with all my heart && can't stay mad for more than 10 minutes!
mmmm, love him so hard! <33
1. My favorite place i've ever traveled to is everywhere. I love all the places I have been because I have great memories from each trip.
2.Australia is somewhere I'd love to go someday.
3. I pass the time on a plane (or bus, or car ride or train) by reading magazines/books, listening to music and talking to whoever is with me.
4. My three must-haves when I travel are my camera, my phone, and something to read.
5. My favorite travel companion is my sweet love, Brandon.
6. The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is senior year of high school, my best friend and I were on our way back from visiting my family in California. We got to the airport late and the security line was extra long. They were calling for us on the intercom because our plane was ready to leave. We basically had to cry our way to the front of the security line. Thank goodness there are still nice people in the world who let us go ahead of them!
7. The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is probably frog legs. Gross.
8. If I could live anywhere else, I'd live in no where. I love love love South Carolina. :)
9. I have been to fifteen states in the U.S.

I am loving obsessed with our engagement pictures. No seriously, I just love looking at them. (Yes, I am so concieted... I know this) They were definitely worth the wait we had to go through to see them. I can't wait to get my prints and hang them up! This just makes me even more excited for our wedding!
[two]
This taco soup I made last night is delicious. Of course I found it on my favorite website... pinterest! :) I made it before and wasn't that impressed but when I made it again last night it was AMAZING! The best part -- it is SO easy!
amazing taco soup

I am loving the fact that we are going on a day trip this weekend! :) B, myself, Crystal, and her beau Patrick are all going to Charleston for the day on Saturday! I am so excited to shop at the outlets, visit King Street and the market, and see my MAMA! Being from Charleston, there are so many things I love about it and I can't wait to show off MY city!
one of my favorite stores on king street. :)

We are going to meet with a travel agent Friday afternoon to talk about possible honeymoon destinations. So pumped! Take me anywhere that has a beach. . .
Happy Hump Day! :)
[one]
I wish the show "Once Upon a Time" came on every night. If you don't watch it, you need to start. . . today. Look it up online. It is that good!It is basically about all of the fairytale characters we know trapped in a real-life town and they have all forgotten who they are because of a curse by the evil queen. LOVE IT! Needless to say, I am obsessed with that show and watch it religiously every Sunday! Who doesn't love fairytales? :)

The weather. It has been awful here the past couple of days. I am pretty sure I haven't seen the sun since Friday, maybe even Thursday. All this weather makes me want to do is sleep. . . ZzZzZz! It hasn't been raining today very much, but is SO SO foggy outside. Like a creepy fog. I am not diggin' this at all!
[three]
Basically everyone I know talks about how amazing hot chicken salad is. . . like seriously EVERYONE! Am I the only person who has never eaten this? I must be. Anyways, I decided that I must finally just try this for myself. So I am making it for dinner tonight. Let's hope it is as delicious as everyone says it is. I will report back and let you know!

I have been going to the gym lately with my BFF Leigh Ann. Her membership allows her to bring a guest so I have been tagging along when our schedules work out. Let me just say. . . after I go to the gym I feel SO much better! Just doing that hour of cardio gives me so much more energy! I think I have decided to go ahead and purchase my own membership so I can start going, at least while I am motivated! :)) I saw this jar idea on pinterest that I think would be neat to do!
Everytime you workout put a dollar in a jar. When you reach $100 buy yourself a new outfit or something you have been wanting! LOVE THIS! :)
Last night, I finally got to order our save-the-dates for our wedding! We have been waiting on the files from our engagements pictures and as soon as our photographer emailed them last night I had to order them right away!
I ended up ordering two different save-the-dates. I had a livingsocial deal to SimplytoImpress and a $20 credit to Shutterfly. There was a design I liked on both and I couldn't decide which one I liked best so I decided to just get two different save-the-dates! It's my wedding and I'll do what I want. :)) I ended up saving us a ton of money doing it that way too, so Brandon was pretty excited! Here are the two that I ordered! I cannot wait for them to arrive!
[one]
I am giving a test this morning and I explain to my kids that they can't yell out answers/talk (taking tests is SO new in first grade) because we are taking a test. . . one kid then looks at me puzzled, raises his hand and says "Like a DNA test?" HAHA, I do not know WHERE he heard that, but it was definitely the most random thing I have heard in a while. This is why I love teaching. :)
[two]
When B & I registered at Target on Monday we got a free $20 gift card, plus another $20 gift card to shutterfly. So pumped! Who doesn't love free stuff? I am thinking about ordering one of these address labels to use after we get married! So cute! :)
[three]
I have been emailing with our cake lady for our wedding and we are meeting soon to design our cake. These are some of my inspirations!
[four]
I am loving everything Special K right now! Everyone knows there cereal is delish, but a lot of people don't know how yummy their snacks are. . . and healthy too! :) These are my faves:
These are so so yummy! I eat them for breakfast usually in the car on the way to work, only 90 calories for 2 crisps! :)
These are suppposed to replace potato chips and let me tell ya. . . they are SO much better! They are light and not greasy which I love! The best part is that you can eat 27 of them for only 110 calories! Granted, I can never eat that many in one sitting but just knowing that I could if I wanted to is nice! :) They come in several flavors, but sour cream and onion is my fave!
