Friday Findings!

Happy Friday everyone!! Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? I kind of do! It's my little sister's (who is actually taller then me) senior prom on Saturday. It's crazy! In a few months she will be going away to college! Anyways, obvi pictures will be posted tomorrow or Sunday. And Sunday I am teaching Sunday School by myself for the first time! Scaryyy!! Hopefully it goes well! I will let you know! Now, onto the Friday Findings!

First, what in the world is this?! Is this lady crazy?! Even if she didn't put her daughter in a tanning bed SHE needs to stop putting herself in one! I mean look at her! Go here to read the complete story. But long story short, her daughter (who is like 6) went to school with a sunburn and when someone asked her about it she said she went tanning with mommy. But the mom says she would never do that to her daughter. Either way, this lady seriously needs help with her tanning addiction. I mean I admit it, I go tanning. But I am still pale and if I ever started to look like that I would hope someone would stop me!

Come on lady, obvi you look kind of crazy!

Next is my newest project that I can't wait to get started on! Look!

This blog has detailed instructions on how to do this! Awesome, yes? :) I will have to let you all know how I do mine!! I can't wait!!

The third finding is one I have been waiting for FOREVER! The Illinois State Fair Grandstand lineup!!

Check that out! Um who else is going to Miranda Lambert? I know this girl is! I am so exciteddddd!!!!!! Can you tell? :) Go here to buy your own tickets. But don't buy any for Miranda Lambert until I do, because I will cry if they are all sold out before I get one. You have been warned ;-)

Finallyyyyyy, this blog. I plan on writing a whole blog post about this and my journey I plan on taking in trying this out but the gist of it is that it's a real food challenge. This lady is amazing. She has everything planned out for you and makes it seem really easy to take on this challenge. I cannot wait to start it. I think everyone should do it too!

Anyways, that is all for the night. It's been a long day but I am glad it is the weekend! I hope you all had a great Friday and have a great weekend! I can't wait to post pictures of my sister all dressed up tomorrow! :) Thanks for reading!

A Walk on the Field at Busch Stadium!

You read that title right! My sister got to walk on the field at Busch Stadium last night! She was being honored for being a nerd and an athlete at the same time. Or as it is really called, "Scholarly Athlete". So her and 116 other little scholarly athletes got to walk around Busch Stadium on the field. She really enjoyed it and so did I because I got a free ticket to the game! And of course the Cardinals won because they are the greatest, duh. Anyways, obvi I took a million and one pictures. So I am going to show you!

This is what it looks like when Molina is on first, Carpenter is on third and Robinson is in the outfield.

These next pictures were taken by Carrie while she was on the field!

Lynn and Molina warming up!

Mr. Matheny and Mr. Carpenter!

Outfield!

Home Plate!

That is all. See not to bad right? And if you are any kind of Cardinal fan you should enjoy looking at the pictures of course! :) Anywho, I am now done with finals! YES!! Hello two week break until I start again. So expect a few new DIY's in the next couple of weeks and some more during the summer! I am so excited for summer break! I hope everyone did well on their finals!

It's nice to see you again summer!

Thank you for reading! I will do Friday Findings later today! :)
