How has yet another week passed me by? I feel like just when I’ve posted my high five for the week, it is time to post another! The past couple months have been a total whirlwind- I like it when I can take the time to be thankful for my week’s happening, even if it is just as simple as a new nail polish. Which brings me to my first of the high five for this week. (Linking up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk)
1.) New fingernail polish:) OPI Call Me Gwen-ever. I love it when I see the new flavors displayed so beautifully in the store- and this one is so fun for summer (Don’t you know that nail polish colors are called flavors? Along with candle scents, and lip gloss..). Different from the classic pink, almost orange, and, if you ask me- seriously the ‘it’ color of the summer. I learned this morning when I went to grab my favorite lippy gloss flavor at the moment- Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush: Red Delicious- it matches perfectly:) Effortless color coordination.
2.) My lovie and I enjoyed a mini mid-week date night- Gloria’s is Yum! Nothing super special, but we don’t typically dine out during the week, saving it for the weekend activities, but it was a nice change from the usual:) Our date night, however included two special guests- my Mom and Dad. We haven’t seen them in a long time, and so it was a nice evening of catch up and discussion. They came in for just the afternoon and then headed back home to Austin after dinner. Really good to see them:) Jordan and I enjoyed it!
My belly (and my sweet babies) were pleased with the weeknight mix-up.
3.) Got back to the gym this week, finally. It has been, oh, I say about 17 weeks and er.. 3 days since I was at the gym. It was no spin class (oh, how I miss you.) but I felt the burn with my fast strides on the treadmill. I was getting dizzy trying to focus on the television that was connected to my treadmill. It took all I had not to look at it- I would for sure be falling off if I made focus for too long. My Nike Dri-Fit tee barely fit over my belly. I guess I’ve become bigger than I thought..
4.) We are new homeowners! The ink is still wet on the documents, actually. Oh my gracious this has been quite the headache- but worth it, I suppose, to get one beautiful house (on a half acre might I add? My land-lover of a husband is SO pumped)! Looking forward to raising our sweet Parker and Jolie here:)

OMG! How gorgeous is your new home?!?!?!? Congrats! Where did y'all end up buying?
Congratulations on your beautiful new home! I can just imagine your girls growing up there. If the rest of the house is anything like the kitchen, I hope you post more photos!!
PS – How did you manage to take a photo of your belly on the treadmill without falling off?!?
Amber! Congrats on your sweet baby news! Your name came up tonight at dinner and someone said you were having twins! And twin girls at that- so much fun. So happy for you girl, I just had to get on here and tell you! Oh and I LOVE your kitchen… dying of jealousy here 🙂
Congrats on the new home! It looks absolutely gorgeous! Hope we get to see the rest of the house sometime! 🙂 xoxo
