Time for a blog on the shows...

I feel like I haven't talked anything about all my shows in forever!

So I thought this would be a good time to do so :)

WTH has happened to Teresa Guidice??

Every past season I liked her, I thought she was funny and a little crazy but still funny.
This season... my oh my what a different story! She is a lunatic! She thinks she does no wrong, she threw all her friends under the bus in her new cookbook, and she is clearly jealous of Melissa, I don't know why she won't just give it up. I think the relationship she wants/dreams about with her brother is freaky and weird ha. Am I alone on this? I feel bad for Caroline, she has treated her like absolute crap. I am so over Teresa!!!!

Another disappointment from the RHWBH...

I am kinda of annoyed with Kyle, which saddens me so much to say... :( Because I have always loved her and thought she was the most down to earth and is my fave of all the girls! But I feel like she is in denial about Kim her sister, and she is starting to make herself look stupid for covering up for Kim and falling into her little crazy games. She is clearly on something... drugs, pills, alcohol, whatever... she is not normal. And Kyle just makes excuses for her. I know it's her sister, but hells bells she needs help and Kyle needs to help her get a grip, not go to the bathroom with her 500 times hahahaha

Also for the Beverly Hills ladies... I'm so over Brandi!!

Ugh ok we ALL know your husband (who is ugly) left you for Lee Ann Rimes and you're a "single mom"... get over it!!!!! I'm so over the single mom excuse, move ON and get a life! She is ridiculous... and I feel like she is just trying to get attention by always saying negative things about herself... she needs some self esteem bless her heart. She just wants everyone to feel sorry for her and it drives me nuts. But her son peeing on the grass at the Maloof Residence was a little funny I will agree ha however, I do think she should have told her son that wasn't the proper thing to do ;)

Ok now onto this...

I don't know why but I am STILL a little obsessed with Sister Wives.
Something about them I just have to keep watching.
Cody Brown is a mystery to me.. what the heck is his occupation? Now he is "selling real estate" ??
I'm pretty sure selling real estate, in Las Vegas of all places ha, is not supporting 18 kids and 4 wives lol could be wrong, but pretty sure on that one.

My favorite... Rachel Zoe... i.e. I Die, Bananas, Dying, Something just happened here, etc. All my favorite sayings come from her... and just FYI if you don't own any of her clothes, you should, my two favorite faux fur vests for winter are from Rachel's QVC line and I love them :)

Now they are a sweet little family :)  So cute!

How beautiful was she preggo? She gained like 4 lbs. Lucky lady!

Lastly... I thought I would show you my new favorite show... and it's actually one Chris likes too for once

Anybody else watching the Good Wife? Love it. So good!!!!!!! You must watch an episode. You will become addicted!

Sadly enough, these are just a few of the ones that take up space on my DVR... I won't bore you with my absolute favorite show, that I have watched since I could even talk probably, which is the Young & the Restless hahahahaha still DVR it every day... you could miss a year of shows and tune back in and would know what is going on ha. Victor is still the culprit. Go Figure. Is there anyone on the planet, besides your grandmother maybe, that still watches this besides me? LOL

That's it friends :)
What shows are you watching that I am not and need to add to the list??

Oh, How Pinteresting Monday, Etc.

Good news and bad news...

Good News First ... this is my 100th Blog Post!!! :) Isn't that crazy? Can't believe how much this little fun bloggy has changed my life, literally. It has brought me new friends, been a way for family and friends who don't live here to know what's going on with us, given me an outlet and way to relax and do something fun that I enjoy, and more importantly, given me a way to freeze tons of memories and pictures and events for years to come! I just love it!

Thank you to everyone who follows, reads, stalks, lol and comments! :) I enjoy reading everyone's emails and comments so much! I will get better at replying I promise!

Sometimes when I think about the fact that I know people who more than likely read my blog, that I really don't want knowing ANYTHING about my personal life, I get a little weirded out and think maybe I should give it a rest for a while and not post as personal of stuff on here. But then I just think that really I will take it with a grain of salt, and as a compliment ;) Because I've grown to love this little blog ha. And she is here to stay!

Bad news... I am getting sick :( blah! I can just feel it. My throat is killing, cold chills, body aches, just pure yuckness. Thus said, this Pinterest post is SO random... so be prepared!



This is too funny! Hahaha made me laugh outloud!

How presh is this clipboard? Love it, think I could possibly make it, it said most supplies were from Hobby Lobby! :)

Are you dying at this pic? The pearls, the outfit, the heels, the hair, its all bananas. I die. Love her :)

I love this baby room... for all my little preggo lady friends that could be having a girl, pin this!! :)

This is hard to see, but its a Bible, that has been very used as you can see haha.
Mine is similar but not as used as this one (I am ashamed to admit) but it is literally falling apart and I recently found out you can take your Bible to Lifeway Christian Bookstore (prob any Christian bookstore, I just happened to go there) and you can mail off your Bible and they will re-bind and cover it with leather for like $60. Bad thing is it can take up to 6 weeks, but I am totally doing this! :)

If you saw this youtube video, then I don't care who you are, this is funny!

Ok is this for real???
Would love it if it were!

This is a great idea... wish notes for a wedding reception but ordered and then broken up into puzzle pieces that afterwards you can put together and frame it :) So creative!

I am obsessed with layering socks under your boots, over your jeans!
This website was about cutting off the arms of old sweaters and using as under boot socks!

Liking this color, may try it tomorrow when I get my nails done.. very Fall'ish
OPI Black Cherry Chutney

Now for my favorite inspiriational words of the week :)

Love this! :)

LOL very true ;)

 I loved this... I feel like my group of best girlfriends are so busy now, having their own families and lives, and not making actual quality girl time!! (you know who you are if you're reading this and my friend haha and I know I am prob the worst lately but just sayin') But reading this made me feel better when I was discouraged thinking about all the girlfriend time we use to have!
I just loved this.  

Lastly, little known fact about Moi... I am OBSESSED with stockings at Christmas!
They are by far my favorite part... I would rather open a stocking than a present, and I LOVE watching Chris, the kids, Frankie (yes DUH Frankie has a stocking) and everyone else pull stuff out of their stockings too. I just like being creative with them and filling them with really fun, unexpected things! This website is super cute for stocking stuffer ideas... if you're not a stocking stuffer type person, maybe this will give you some ideas...You're welcome! :) Ha.

I'm kind of over Halloween already and ready to move on to Christmas! Reading all of these got me in the mood! Can't wait to start pulling out all of the stuff and decorating.. and celebrate Jesus's brithday :)
(NOT intended to sound like Melissa Gorga from RHWNJ hahahahahaha)

Happy Monday!

Mr. & Mrs. Bristow

On Friday night we celebrated the marriage of one of my BFF's, Stephanie, and her husband Levi. They were married on a cruise last week and came back to throw down at home for everyone who didn't go on the cruise... and it was such a fun night!

First let's recap and look at a few of her amazing pictures from the actual wedding, taken by the pretty much famous, Alicia Fierro w/ Aesthetiica Photography! (Pics stolen from facebook ha hope that's ok Alicia!! You rocked it as usual girl!) PS. Go "Like" her facebook page if don't already... her pictures are so beautiful!





Those are just a few so far of the "teasers" from Alicia ;) Can't wait to see the ones from Friday night too!

She had a party/reception here at Buffalo Trace Distillery and it was so pretty! I forgot my dang camera but did get a few from my phone...

Mr. and Mrs. Bristow :)
So pretty! How beautiful was her dress??

Look at those pretty girls!

This shows Jake's only interest at dinner... haha the chocolate fountain and strawberrys/marshmellows! That face was only after the first one too ;) OOC

Stephanie sang Levi a song afterwards and it was so sweet and cute! I recorded some of it but was afraid she would be mad at me if I showed it on here haha... but she did an awesome job! He looked surprised too which was so cute!

One of the most fun parts of the night was the photo booth they rented... it was such a hit... with the kids and grown ups! Here are a few of the ones I brought home...

Chrissy, Steph & Me

I wish you could see this better.... the kids were so funny in the booth!! Jake especially.

LOL no words for these ha just so funny.

We had such a great time!
Congrats Steph & Levi! Love you guys both!!!!
XOXO,

Realtor Open House of the Century!

Hello Friends!

This was a crazzzzy hectic week for me... I feel like I have so many things to blog about I need to make a list STAT. I hosted (with the help of my lovely assistant Emily of course) an awesome Realtor Open House this past week which pretty much consumed a lot of my time this week, just getting everything ready and set up... but it sure turned out better than I could have ever hoped for!

Maybe you might remember me telling you I recently got a new fabulous account of some awesome condo/townhomes here is Lex to sell?!? Well it was Hamburg Farms, by Lifestyle Communities...


They are so nice... see for yourself... :)

Clubhouse


Awesome Pool for Summer Entertaining!

Very nice and equipped fitness center in the clubhouse

And an awesome interior clubhouse that you can actually rent out for parties or social gatherings!

So I decided to host a Realtor Open House... which is just basically a lunch for fellow Realtors to come by, eat and mingle, and tour a model or two to get familiar with the property in hopes they will have a buyer who might be interested?
(Think Million Dollar Listing if you will, for those of you who watch that on Bravo haha)

We had some awesome giveaways and food... which is a no brainer that hopefully people will show!

Here is the cute little invite that I made...



And our give-away prizes :)


Recognize that handsome sponsor? haha ;)

Then we had a big AWESOME prize of this...

Aren't those fun?

We prepared and set up and had some fun ideas (by "We" I mean Emily and I) but it wouldn't have been a boss/assistant kind of preparation had we not got side tracked at Wal-Mart by some fancy Christmas hats they had just gotten in... hahahaha ... easily amused we are! I won't post pics because Emily didn't approve them lol and they are very "special" ;) 

How cute are these pumpkins Emily made?

The Reserve and Wellington II are two of our models and we sat these pumpkins on the front porch of those models for people to see when they walked in to tour!

For dessert we had an awesome little chocolate fountain with yummy fruits and snacks to dip in it :) This was a hit I'm pretty sure! Thanks Laura ha! ;)

We had a MAJOR spread of food catered by Sarah's Corner Cafe ... BBQ, cheesy hashbrowns, baked beans, potato salad & more! It was so good!



These were just a few pics I took of some of our Realtor guests... we ended up having 74 REALTORS ATTEND! So crazy!!!! Such an awesome turnout, even on a yucky rainy day!

I hope we were able to generate some future deals by familiarizing all these wonderful Realtors with this development! :) I wanted to give a HUGE Thank You to everyone who came out... I hope you had as much fun as I did :) Congrats to all the prize winners too!!


Anyone reading this ... should you know someone who is looking for an awesome place to live ... please keep these in mind :) and message me should you want any additional info!! They are very nice and range in price from $135,900-$179,900 ...

Ok that's my sells pitch of the month for le bloggy haha
Thanks for reading!
XO,
