Thoughts

• ITS FRIDAY!!!  Thank you Lord!

• Has anyone seen these videos of Luke Bryan doing his 'move'?  They are too funny and he is too cute!   I saw them over at DAY OLD NEWS and just had to share. He, as well as load of other country artists (including my girl Miranda), are playing this weekend, at a weekend long festival in northern California called STAGECOACH.  I so wish I was going...check out the line up, its phenom!

• Mr. R is beyond thrilled because he found out today that he got tickets to PHISH for BOTH Atlanta and Charlotte.  They are two nights in a row AND on Mr. R's 32rd birthday weekend.  Mr. R has told me "all he wants for his birthday is for me to go to the Charlotte show" so looks like I am going!  Not going to lie, would much rather be going to this show than Widespread Panic!

• Our oldest niece, KCR, is turning 7 on Sunday and we can't wait to see her!  
• We are going to see some good friends play music tonight for dinner.  D n' R will be playing from 6-9 tonight at Southside 17 in West Ashley if you want some good music and good food tonight!

• When is Jessica Simpson going to have her baby?  I feel like she has been pregnant FOREVER!

• Charleston's own American Idol, Elise Testone was voted off last night.  She rocks and I can't wait to see what becomes of her!

• As some of you know I work in Real Estate.  There is a GREAT article in Real Simple's May issue titled "How to Buy A House: 7 Essential Checklists."  If you are thinking of buying and overwhelmed by the even thought of it (as I was) or just want to learn more about the buying process, this a wonderful article for you.  

• Reynolds Wrap-Up had the most views EVER yesterday with my featured post of Urban Village Raleigh.  THANK YOU everyone for reading!!!

5 Things: Friday Addition

Its finally Friday and I for one could not be happier.  Its been a crazy, crazy week!

5. JCrew has finally opened an outlet here in Chucktown.  Since it is TAX FREE weekend here in SC, I am thinking this may be the perfect opportunity to check out the new digs.  I am hoping to see the likes of these items that might make it home to my closet.

 

4. My Momma D (mother in law) sent me this little tidbit this morning and it put a big smile on my face.  Feel free to send to your favorites and give them something to smile about:).

“She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens.

She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels
like crying.  She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid.
Her love is unconditional.  There's only one thing wrong with her. She
forgets what she's worth! Remind her that she's unique.  I love you girl.”



3.  Momma & Daddy Evans get back from 10 days in Maine today and I cannot wait to see their pictures.  Mr. R and I are hoping to go for a week next summer with them.  Here is one my Mom took from an inn in Lubec after a rain shower.  The lighthouse is actually Canada!

2.  I am officially finished with 8 hours of real estate class.  Only 52 more to go before a license!

1.  I am SO happy to have one of my oldest and best friends living with Mr. R and I for the month of August.  She is a brilliant doctor and doing a month long rotation at MUSC for radiology.  It’s a blessing to have friends like AMM who know you like the back of their hand and STILL love you!  Special thanks to her husband Mr. M for letting us borrow her for the monthJ.  Here we are during one of our college trips to the West Coast to see her sister at USC--fight on Trojans!
