Happy August?

Well hi there, Blog World... these past few weeks have been rather busy!  {work work work work work ... Did I mention work?} Here's what has been going on lately…
Happy August?! I can't believe it's already into the first week of August.  Two weekends ago I took a trip back home becauseeeeee… *drum roll please* THE FARMER FAMILY IS MOVING! It's really happening people! We have purchased a 5 acre ranch with an adorable home, horse barn and lots of room for my Dad to keep progressing with this hobby of Porsche racing. So it's time to pack up and move on down the road about 7 minutes. Praying for an easy and quick move!

While I was home I began packing up what's left of my belongings in my bedroom. I came across my first communion dress, and my veil. Side Note: My communion photos might be some of the worlds most awkward photos of me... Anyway, the veil is the most sentimental to me, it was my Mom's and she saved it for when she had a daughter one day to wear. I'll never forget how NOT pleased I was at the time (In 3rd grade you don't want to wear mom's hammy-down veil, ew), but as I've gotten older I've completely fallen in love with this idea. I will absolutely be doing the same, so here's to hoping it won't be yellow by them... and that I have a daughter one day.

I also came across some real high school GEMS to say the least. Helloooo Senior Pictures. 

{Look at that hair. YIKES}

This is one a friend shot of me for her photography class. Brandon's Next Top Model? Yeah.. No.

I got to spend an evening with Kyle's family at his parents home. How sweet is it that...

A. He grew up about 5 minutes away from house (and we never knew each other growing up? Bizarre)

B. His grandparents live on the same street as his parents!!

Here is my look for a sweet cookout dinner with his parents and grandparents:

{Dress is from Loft, kudos to Mama Farm for letting my steal that little number.. Paired with Jack Rogers, Texturized Gold Hoop Earrings, and my usual MK watch and Alex & Ani stack}

We topped our weekend at home off with some horseback riding at RVR Horse Rescue (keep up with them on Facebook here!), where we adopted and now board Rhett. This was Kyle's first time ever riding a horse and he was such a natural!

Back in Tallahassee, I got to catch up with some great friends at one of my favorite little Italian places, Bella Bella. They have this amazeballs "bubble bread" appetizer that is to die for. But literally, you will probably die sooner after eating it- I never said it was healthy.

I mentioned something about work earlier. That I've been doing a lot of that recently. I was recently in Orlando, and if you follow me on Instagram {and if you don't, you should} you saw that I was having a great hair day while executing a meeting at Disney. WHYYYY can this not happen to me on a Friday or Saturday night when I want it to do this? Check out my work wear from this day!

I took the day off last Friday because I wasn't feeling great. You know when you just feel run down and that if you push yourself you're going to get sick? Well that whole "R&R" deal I was going for lasted until about 11 a.m. and I felt like I needed to do something with my day to be productive. I mustered the energy to go to Target to fully take advantage of the tax-free weekend in Florida and spruce up my little fridge space! 

It has been needing a makeover, so here is what I managed to create:

{1} Dry Erase Magnetic Month Calendar - Since I am in between planners currently, I feel like I am all over the place! Trying to remember social engagements, work projects, Junior League training's, doctors appointments and so on is tough when you can't just write it down! I took a few photo-wall adhesive strips, applied them to the back of the calendar and stuck it to the fridge so this puppy isn't going anywhere! 

{2} Color Coded Organization - I found these adorable mini dry erase markers to help color code all the things I have going on! Example: Written in orange are my Junior League commitments, red are my Sweat Therapy classes, pink are fun social things, etc.

{3} Mesh Magnetic Pencil Holder - These are actually designed for lockers?! Who knew the world of middle school could get that cute? It works perfectly for my mini dry erase markers and any pens that seem to disappear only when you need them...

{4} Metal Clip Magnets - These are the perfect way to not lose track of any party invitations, photos, you name it. 

{5} "Don't Forget" List - I picked this baby up a few months ago from the dollar section of Target (usually when you first walk in the store). It's definitely come in handy when making grocery lists!

As you can see on my handy-dandy calendar, my parents were here this weekend! My baby brother is moving into a new house with his roommates two streets over from me! We are walking distance away from each other now, which will be fun! It was definitely a long weekend of moving, in and out of cars, up and down three flights of stairs a bunch of times, but their house looks like it's coming together!

Dad also let me take a ride in his baby...

That's all for now, y'all! 

What kind of fun stuff have you been doing?
