Orange & Blue•Weekending

Weekending – Orange & Blue Blogger Meet up!

September 15, 2014

Welcome back Monday.  I need a few more hours of sleep especially after the fact the Gator game started at 7:30 and then went into triple overtime.  Yes.  You read that right.  We got back in the wee hours of the morning.  I felt like the good ole days of college of getting home when it was almost starting to get light.  It was completely worth it to have seen my two favs gals. Seriously why can’t we all live closer to each other?  Let’s get right into this!  Linking up with my beautiful bestie B who I got to see again on Saturday.  I’m becoming spoiled seeing her on a monthly basis like this!

I got to start the weekend off by doing what everyone talks about is their favorite part of wedding planning.
Then I actually got out of my stretch pants to make it out with Mark for the night.
Saturday we headed up to Gville to watch the Gators take on Kentucky.  All I have to say is…..this is going to be a long season……

After a trek across campus in 95 degree heat with 100% humidity I finally got to see B and Pamela!

After triple overtime here
We finally made it home.  Sunday was then pretty much spent doing this.

As well as playing with these.  I mean it sings to you when it’s done.  I’m in love (yes that is a Gator dust buster NBD).
Let me leave you with something fun.  Seriously isn’t this the cutest video ever? When I see things like this it just makes me think about how creative people are.  Oh and it makes me want to go back to college…..just for a second.
How was your weekend?  Have you had any blogger dates lately?  Have a fabulous day! xoxoxo

    Your washer and dryer are making me drool. Or maybe it’s the cupcakes. Strike that, cupcakes followed by sexy appliances equals drool. Hashtag Old Lady Porn. So glad you got to kick it with your besties!!! Looks like a great weekend. Abrazos.

    Cake tasting was by far one of my favorite parts of wedding planning.yum!!! Hope you and Mark picked some delicious favors. Football in 95 degree heat just seems WRONG to me! Yet, you and your girls look so pretty and put together despite the heat. I’m envious!

    Your wedding cake baker looks amazing – all those cakes are begging to be taste tested!! I can’t even tell you how amazing it was seeing you and I agree I’m spoiled seeing you so frequently!!! Those washing machines are amazing and you know I totally see the little gator hand held vacuum in the back lol!! My Sunday was spent doing the same exact thing, except I had to fly home…BOO!!! Have a great Monday love!! xo

    I found gator blue sateen shorts on sale at JCP for $5 last weekend – and bought them just in CASE my daughter goes to UF next year. This St Louis girl is so drinking the Koolaid right now. Mizzou who??
    thanks for the video, we can play it on slow mo and get dorm decorating ideas :) I forgot what it was like living in a concrete bunker.

    I am drooling over your washer and dryer! Hubs will not get us new ones until the old ones die.

    Sometimes, I miss the Florida humidity! I know, I’m nuts.

  13. Caitlyn {Home Sweet Ruby} says

    September 15, 2014 at 12:27 PM

    Ah love the wedding cake and Florida game photos!! I can’t even believe how close that game was… ugh! Looks like such a fun time for you gorgeous ladies! And how do you not even look one bit sweaty?! I’d be gross in that heat. haha

    I’m glad you girls had so much fun together over the weekend! Your new washer/dryer looks amazeballs … it looks similar to the ones that are included with a potential house contender that we’ve found. I also love that Shake It Off video – those guys are hilarious!

  40. Nadia @ The View is Beautiful says

    September 15, 2014 at 5:31 PM

    Start to finish that sounds like an amazing weekend! I definitely had one of those Sundays and it was gloriously uneventful. Are you going the cake or cupcake route for your wedding? All of those look to DIE for.

    September 15, 2014 at 6:02 PM

    Look at you in the LBD, hottie! Y’all look like you had such a blast at the game. I’m not sure if my liver could have handled a triple-overtime event, but dang that sounds like a good time!

  43. alyssa says

  45. Emily says

    September 15, 2014 at 6:59 PM

    Cake testing is definitely one of the better parts of wedding planning and the guys enjoy it too! So fun you girls got to meet up at a game. Isn’t Pamela a sweetheart?? Love the TB purse and nails combo. So festive!

  46. Julia says

    September 15, 2014 at 7:21 PM

    September 15, 2014 at 8:44 PM

    Loving your orange & blue combo…sorry to hear the team didn’t get their stuff together and make things happen. Hope you have a great week!

  52. xiomara @ Parkesdale says

    September 16, 2014 at 1:01 AM

    So, wait, does that mean you are a gator too?!?!? Love it! I on the other hand, fell asleep half way though the game. Oops. Glad you had a great time in old Gainesville. My, how I miss that town. :)

  53. Krystal R. says

    September 16, 2014 at 1:05 AM

    yay for a great weekend! I think may parents have those exact machines… which is why I take my laundry home to them on a weekend and wash it there haha

  58. Kate @ Another Clean Slate says

    September 18, 2014 at 2:13 PM

    A Gator dustbuster? Perfect.

    I don’t think I will make it down to a game this year which is so sad. You’ll have to go extra often on my behalf!

  59. Tami says

    September 18, 2014 at 4:00 PM

    Look at all that beeeauuuuutiful orange and blue! Not so beautiful? Our performance in that game. Talk about heart attack! Not looking forward to Saturday :/
