-4th of July Hangover-

Next to my birthday and Christmas, 4th of July is just about my favorite day of the whole friggin year. Not only is it summertime and I get the day off work, but I usually get to spend it with all my favorite people drinking adult bevies and watching fireworks.

This year 4th of July landed in the middle of the week but since Friday we got off from work, I got a glorious 4 day weekend.

Started it off at SummerFest, seeing my main squeeze and hottest country star ever... LUKE BRYAN! Best. Concert. Ever.

I loved his openers, Florida Georgia Line & Thompson Square, they were great.. and Luke well.. favorite songs... all played.. lots of booty shaking. I was a happy girl. After that Kalen and I hit up downtown Milwaukee for some drinks before going back to the hotel.

Kalen & I loving SummerFest

Lemon/Berry Shandy - My new favorite drink ever.

Thursday  - went a little like this.....

~Vacation Hang Over~

You know that feeling when you are walking through the airport to go back home, that sad pit in your stomach when you see all the happy people who are just starting thier vacays... I had that a few days ago and it sucks still.. 3 days later.

I had the most amazing vacation with my besties and it was so nice to get away and lay on the beach.. ALL DAY ERR DAY. Seriously though we spent almost 20 hours in total on the beach. I loved it and it went to fast, as most vacations do.

We drank  X-Rated & Sprite, SKYY Moscato Vodka (which is amazeballs) & Sprite, and so many other delicious fruity vacay drinks. It was my favorite. We went out for lunch and dinner... ate pop tarts for breaky... and I ate tons of seafood... I know, I actually enjoy seafood.. who knew? Crab Legs, MahiMahi, and shrimp.. get in ma bellllly.

Chrissy, Lauren (who is getting married in less than a month!!!!!) and I traveled to Ft. Myers Beach, we stayed at my grandmas condo (fo free!) for 5 days and just had the best time. As much as traveling with the boys was a good time too... sometimes you just need a girls trip and to hang with your besties. I needed that for sure, and I was happier than a bird with a french fry ALL DAMN DAY.

We spent days at the beach, nights walking around Ft. Myers boardwalk, and it rocked.

Although I dont have a fancy camera, I have some good pics below from the good ole iPhone. Chrissy is the photographer of the group and once I get all the goods, I'll show them off!

First Stop - Need to be prepared for a girls trip

We tried SKYY Moscato Vodka since we love Moscato.

Mix it with Sprite -- So good.

Wine by the pool

I had a MahiMahi sandwhich - it was too good. I highly reccomend this place.

I want a boat....

Seriously -- So Good.

Gramma Dot's - GO THERE

I decided this will be my boat - duhzzies.

Loving all the beautiful flowers around FL

Sunshine & Palmtrees :)

Captiva Island - By far the best beach in the area, beautiful water, like crystal clear bahama water

Even though it rains almost every afternoon in FL, this rainbow was the perfect end to the storm

Top O'Mast on the Beach - XRated & Sprite

Downtown Ft. Myers Beach - shops, bars, and ice cream :)

Ft. Myers Beach Pier at Sunset

We went to a bar on top of a hotel and this was the view, not too shabby

My beautiful besties

Ft. Myers Beach - This day was about 106 degrees and hot hot hot.

Beaching with my bestie

Renting waverunners on the ocean was the best money I spent on this trip, it was soo fun

Last day of vacay drinks.

 

I seriously love my best friends, these girls are amazing and they are my rocks.

 

We had a blasty blast -- next party -- Lauren's Bachlorette PARTY!!!!

 

Have a Happy HAppy 4th of July weekend y'all

 

'MERICA --- GOD BLESS THE US!

* Dear Bloggy World, I suck .... Again*

For something I enjoy so much and entertains me, I have really sucked at this little blog lately. I have abdoned this thing like poor little orphan Annie... but I will try and be better.. no promises.. but for reals, I need to get my life together.

This summer has been so super busy... and It's about to get even busier. My BFF for reals is getting married in about a month.. EK!, I am heading to Florida Wednesday morning with my besties for life (TGIVT - thank god it's vacation time) and work has been cray cray!!!

So in pictures, I am catching you up with my life.. ready set go.....

I moved, I can't even remember if I mentioned this.. major life fail.. but I have a new apartment and it's amazeballs and I love it, plus i dropped about 20 minutes off my commute to work..holler :)

I have just been obsessing about country music, loveeees it and my adorable country men. Also, scored me and the roomie some Luke Bryan summerfest tickets.. cannot wait.

I spent a whole weekend babysiting these two.. loved every minute of it, and get to do it again in September.

Summer finally showed up which meant smore outside at Girls Night and watching Stanley Cup playoffs through the window.. which shows my next picture quite well....

My Blackhawks beat my roomies Redwings in the playoffs.. fast  forward 2 series and we play game 6 againt the Bruins tonight, I am praying for a WIN tonight, game 7's give me anxiety!

Me and my beautiful besties on Lauren & Stephen's engagement party day!!

1 month ladies & gents. Gonna get our party on!

These 2 became children of god at thier Christening last weekend and they looked too cute for words.

After 8 looooong months at work, the Kelloggs project is in stores. Go buy some, they are so good and larger sales are always good for our customers.

Did I mention my new place has a pool.. Sunday was Sunday Funday and I got my first tan of the season. Which makes me happy.... And i LLOOOOVVEEEE having a pool.

After Pool day we headed over to the babes house and played in the splash pool, they didnt like the water being so cold but once they got use to it, they loved playing.

He loves me.

Happy Babies :)

Happy Girl :)

Love of my life <3

So there you have it, the last couple weeks.. eh 6 or so ... important stuff and all. I will try and blog while on vacation, maybe a quick check in but look for a full blown review when I get back.. See ya later y'all!
