#10 Eye Candy

had to add this one, oh yeah, baby!

I was just blogging about #10 and his cuteness and now I have to report on our win, go USA! Donovan just scored the winning goal with less than 2 minutes to go in the game. So exciting, my adrenaline was pumping, wahoooooOOOoooo

loved his celebratory slide into the corner

look at those leg muscles, hehe

Of course I am deeply in love with my mans and think he is the greatest but I can't help but admit what a fine looking guy Landon O'Donovan is to look at on the soccer field. Also, I love his name-so cute! makes me think of A Walk to Remember, ha..

I definately miss my soccer days as a kiddo in Gtown playing on all the candy coated teams and was lucky enough to have my dad coach me for some years...and played in high school too. I met some great friends who are still a large part of my life and learned leadership and teamwork skills, I am so glad that my parents showed us the value of sports at an early age.

GO USA!~

Who Wears Short Shorts?!

this is hard, especially since I'm usually a dresses kinda gal in the summer, they are so light and cute and so easy to throw on every day :)

here are a pair from Levi

currently my fav, but pretty pricey for a pair of shorts, $120, I mean really?!!

on Bluefly

Gap cutsies for only 49 bucks, what a steal..the only thing is, they might be a little too roomy and baggy lookin'

I am on the quest for the perfect pair of stylish but affordable jean cut off's...here are some items that have caught my eye so far...hmm..thoughts?!

one more last tid bit--these beauties were ordered to see if they will make a good addition to my turquise shift dress I'll be sporting at my bridal shower this weekend..more pics to come, keep your fingers crossed for me :)

My Father: A One-of-A-Kind-Man

At the Homestead Resort in VA

Happy Father's Day to my dad! I have looked up to him since I was a little girl and shared in endless laughs, love, story telling and lovely memories. I owe him for always believing in me, protecting me and giving me unwavering affection.

Introducing my dad to Brad's family/where Brad grew up

My dad really represents so many characteristics I wanted to find in a husband and life partner and I feel so lucky that my fiance is so alike my dad in..

-his passion
-his tenderness and love
-he's always a true gentleman
-his sensitivity and gentleness
-his strength in having very strong morals and the confidence he has in himself and the way he views the world in such in such a positive light

his heart aaand ....his patience with me :)

I will walk down the aisle on September 18th and join my life with the guy who has been my best friend and the love of my life for 6 years now, but my dad will always be one of the most important men to me.

I love you, dad, and thank you for being a role model to me and loving me unconditionally and always being true to yourself and to me.

Friday Fun Day!

love this

I've been hunting around on the internet for this tunic I saw at Kohls I thought looked adorable but unfortunately it said no longer available..so what a bummer...I thought! But my mom stumbled into Kohls today and found it in my size so what a cool turn around. Thank you mom for thinking of your daughter/bridie!

Happy Friday everyone! May your weekend be blessed with fun tunics, a cold cocktail and laughing with the people you love most in the world!
