High Five for Friday!

This whole not working or going to school thing is seriously throwing me. I never know what day it is! Anywayyyyys, I'm still excited for the weekend because that means I get to see everyone who works most of the week!

one // I have an apartment in Charlotte! It's more expensive than I wanted but it's in a wonderful location, very safe and and decently easy drive to work! It's also approximately 4 minutes from where my mom grew up. How crazy! The lease also ends in October so if I really want to find something cheaper I can!

two // Christian and I are headed to Carowinds right now. I'm like a 5 year old today... I hope he's prepared. Sidenote: are sock buns appropriate for roller coasters? I hope so..

three // We're headed up to Boone tonight to get the majority of my stuff I left there. I'm leaving the furniture for now because I'm trying to sell it in Boone. But this also means we get the whole day, night and tomorrow together. After many weeks of no alone time, I'm excited to just chill together. Also, this totally could have been lumped with number two.. sorry. 

four // My sweet friends Sam and Jeremy let me stay at their place this week while I was bumming around Charlotte getting move in things together. They are the sweetest and I'm so excited to be living near them in 7 days!!

five // This pup. 

   

Happy Friday, everyone!

Backyard fun!

Today, I'll be linking up with Stephanie, Chelsee and Kristin for The Party Don't Start til I Walk In and Thirsty Thursday!

So, as of last night I should have an apartment. As long as I'm approved by the apartment complex, I'm good to go and I'll be moving in next week! As I was walking through, of course I was planning how I want it to look and then I fell in love with the wonderful fenced in patio and decided I will be having some sort of cook out on it.

In my perfect, full of money world, this is how it would go.

First, this would need to fill up my patio ASAP. It's so pretty.

These would need to be the centerpieces. The candles would be those kind that keeps bugs away because that is by far (well, besides humidity) my least favorite part of summer. Maybe even some pretty gardenias in between the candles? I don't know, though, seems like too much work.

My friends and I are classsy. Therefore, we need this red solo cup drink-ware. Duh.

Burgers. So many burgers. With every topping imaginable  because we've been known to put everything on a burger. Once, my boyfriend made one with cheese, fried egg, mayo, ketchup, bacon, guacamole and Doritos. He took a nap after that one.

Out. Door. Bar. Cart.

Beer would be stored in some adorable buckets and labeled all cute like. There definitely wouldn't be any of the water nonsense going on. Here's the thing. My favorite beer is Budweiser. People think I'm crazy. Sorry. But my friends refuse to drink that for outdoor events. So I cave and we all drink Bud Select. Since I'll be inviting said friends I'm just going to have a bucket labeled "Leslie" for my Budweisers and maybe something along the lines of "losers" for their Bud Select/Bud Light/Corona Light. And they're welcome to supply that themselves. I'm a good host like that.

And finally, I would be wearing something easy and cool because I hate heat. It's May and I"m already dying from it. I don't know what I'll do when the humidity kicks in. Die, maybe.

Now honestly, if I had tons of money, I would probably try to be fancier. But, this is more like my friends and I so we'll keep it low keep with the fancy solo cups.

I can't believe...

I can't believe... I still don't have a place to live in Charlotte. I mentioned here that I did, but the girl backed out and I'm back to square one. I'm going to see a place today so wish me luck!
I can't believe.... I move to Charlotte in 9 days!! Finally!! 
I can't believe... I get to go to Carowind's on Friday with Christian. I feel like 5 year old because I'm so excited! I haven't been since I was 9!

I can't believe... I most likely won't see my best friend until her graduation from Purdue on May 15th. This is the longest we've ever been apart :(
I can't believe... how much I'm loving my new book Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Go get it. 
I can't believe... how lazy my cat is. Seriously, he's got it made. 

I can't believe... This is my 100th post!!! Honestly, I thought I might give up on this a few weeks in, but I love having a place to share about my life and I love reading other's blogs and getting to know people through this little blog world! 

Linking up with Robin!
