{o} overnight hospital stays: None

{p} pet peeves:I have so many i shouldn't even start naming them off! hahah but a big one is being late and people that don't listen and you have to repeat yourself WAY to many times!

{q} quote from a movie:

"Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day." -The Notebook

 

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away." -Sex and the City

G-Free diet

As I had posted in my blog a few days ago I have recently found out that i have a gluten allergy.. BOO NO fun! So today my mom and I took a road trip to a Co op grocery store that's about 40 mins away to see what we could find that was gluten free. And although we did find somethings we found out that our local grocery store. But at least i got some things to try. Check out what i found.

Also we ran over to Barnes and Nobel real fast and Mom had heard about this book and I started reading through it and thought it would be perfect to get me on the right start with everything.Plus I just Love Elizabeth so i knew this would be a great book!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Weekend!

Until Next time!

We've been having some amazing weather here in Iowa so I couldn't be happier hopefully no more rain for awhile now :)

I did want to share something with everyone tho... awhile ago I said i had got some blood drawn to see if I am allergic to any food and to see if that is why i have been always having all these stomach aches/pains. Well guesssssss what?!?! I am i have LOTS of allergies and its going to be NO fun!!! I have a wheat/gluten allergy peanut and cheese and potatoes... Now let me tell you its awful your probably wondering... "Well what the heck can you eat?" Ya i don't have an answer for you so maybe some of you can help me. Does anyone know of anyone that also has a gluten problem or know of any good recipes? I'm up for anything and good advice all i can tell you know if that i'm STARVING! hahha GRRRR!!!! My life has def just took a HUGE turn down a completely different path..

Shopping Spree :)

So I was feeling like I had NO summer/spring clothes so I decided to go on a little shopping spree while I had a few days off :) I haven't been shopping in awhile and usually every time I go I can never seem to find really anything that I love... But this time I found some GREAT items and most of them were on sale :) WHOOT WHOOT!!! Gotta love sale items. I did most of my shopping @ Target... I usually never find anything i like there but lately its been my place to shop

check out my new wardrobe

I really am not a "Shorts" person I have bigger legs so its hard to find ones that actually fit the waist and my legs but these are AMAZING I would call them like Maternity pants hahah but they are also super cute on! I spent a little bit more on them then i normally would but oh well....

I Love LOVE LOVEEE these Tanks from Target they are longer which I Love and they are super cheap and come in all fun colors :)

I just love this whole One strap stuff and I thought that this would be the perfect shirt for the 4th of July :)

These Shoes were a STEAL of a deal! I had to have them when I saw them and then when they rang up for $14 bucks i knew they were meant for me :)

Another wonder Target Selection... I Got a couple of those sweaters.. i'm always looking for a light weight sweater for the summer and these are super sheer and light weight. Also i ended up finding another pair of Shorts... I wanted them in all colors but i just decided on the bight yellow

I have been eyeing this Dress @ Express for awhile now.... I walked into Express the other day and the lady said 30% of all dresses I was like Ok.. ya ya leave me alone... but then it Hit me ... oh my i can get the dress i've been dying to have... I was kinda bummed out because i wanted it in blue but the pink would work.. since i LOVE pink!

I am a huge MOVIE collector... and I am that person that just buys movies before i have even seen it yet. Which is AWFUL i have soo many terrible movies just laying around... oh well tho. I'm excited to watch this i hope its good. Has anyone seen it yet?

This is just Some of my movies that i actually like :) HAHA... i Have WAY too many!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :)
Until next time
