80s style and beautiful views.

success.

that's all i gotta say about this weekend.

it was one big success. our 80s block party went off without a hitch.

although i wish my hair would have been bigger. i wanted it to look slightly decent enough for pictures, so i ended up looking more like farrah fawcett meets sandra dee at the end of grease.

oh, and guess what...

ETHEL DID NOT CALL THE COPS!!!

i know, we were just as surprised as you are. she actually behaved and kept quiet. we are so proud of our nosey little neighbor!! 

i guess the fact that we ended up taking our party to the local water'n hole (yes, that trashy ass bar i mentioned in another post) probably helped keep ethel's anxiety level down. but we made it till almost midnight at our house! high fives to us!!

why we ended up at the trashiest bar in town, i do not know. it probably had something to do with wanting to dance like fools in public in our ridiculous gear... which we succeeded in doing so. the best part was all of the locals swooning over our outfits. they legit wanted to know where i got my dress at. sorry bud- only one left in this ol' town... and it belongs to me. forever.

rooms and i. rockin our outfits.

my friend jared and i. yes, our make shift photo booth was hung by our curtain rod. you love it.

we jump at any opportunity to have a photo booth, just fyi.

some of my favorite girls.

everyone actually dressed up!!

thank God for self timers.

sunday was spent poolside- recovering and listening to a local band play at the tiki bar. it was just what we needed. 

i was then taken (as a surprise) up to a friend's property wayyyy out in the middle of nowhere to watch the sunset. it was breathtaking to say the least.

although i was scared i was going to fall off the side of the mountain, be chased by the huge cows lingering around us, or end up in some version of wrong turn. that's my crazy imagination for you.

it was a good end to the weekend though... and made me appreciate just how beautiful of a place i live in.

and now it's back to work, back to reality, and back to pulling my hair out because of the piles of work on my desk. 

have a great monday, friends!!
