New Bathing Suit, New Shoes...what more can a girl ask for?

Today I did a little shopping and found the cutest pair of wedges and bathing suit. I went to Kohls to look for a couple of bath mats for our bathrooms and decided to browse in the shoe department. They were having a big sale...all though, Kohls always has a sale going on. Anyway, I spotted a pair of Mia white wedges. I decided to try them on since they are originally $45 and they were on sale for $23 and that they were too cute! I couldn't resist, I had to get them. I knew they would look really cute with a navy blue with white polka dots sundress that I have. Besides that, they make my legs look fabulous! Now, if only I could get out into the sun and get some color.

After going to Kohls, I went to the mall. I haven't been there in a while and wanted to see what new Spring/Summer items they have gotten in. This June, Brian and I are going to San Diego for a couple of days and then we are going on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas. Cannot wait! I thought maybe I would check out the bathing suit's since I have to have one. I didn't even where a suit last summer. My body wasn't in the best of shape. Not saying that it is now, but I'm working on it. I still have a month to tone it up. Sorry for getting off track. I stopped into Dillard's to see what they had. I'm very picky when it comes to my bathing suite's, but I came across the cutest suite. It's very different. I tried it on and I didn't hate it. I knew I should go ahead and get it because I would be kicking myself if I didn't. I think it will be ideal for a cruise. Isn't it cute!

Cole Bros. Circus

Saturday night Brian and I went to the Cole Bros. Circus. I had imagined driving up to this huge tent with clowns walking around, games to play, elephant and camel rides, etc. Was it like that? No. There was a tent, a few concessions, and an elephant ride. That's it! We walked inside and it was a little better. They had pony rides for the little one's and they were so cute. Little kids had big smiles on their faces...too cute. They had a ring master and some freakishly tall. A manly looking women. She kind of looked like a transvestite. They had some pretty good acts. Of course they had the acrobats, and the guy that was shot out of a cannon. Cruel I know, but I was somewhat hoping that he would miss the net. Why? I don't know. My weird side I suppose. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lion tamer. How awesome would that have been! My favorite were the little dogs riding a pony and this so called "cowboy" and his house that drank from a coke bottle. It was cute. Overall, it was okay. It did bring a smile to my face. It was worth going. As the ring master said, "Everyday is circus day!"

Michelle Branch and Colbie Caillat Concert

Last night Brian and I attended the Michelle Branch and Colbie Caillat concert at Trask. It was a really great concert. Brian actually enjoyed it. Along with Michelle and Colbie, they even had other celebrities that were introduced. Barbara Alyn Woods was the Azalea Queen this year. She plays Deb Scott on One Tree Hill which is filmed here in Wilmington. Along with her was Lee Norris (Mouth McFadan), Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer) and Chad Michael Murray (Lucas Scott). They all play on One Tree Hill as well. The other celebrity guest was Kevin Frazier who works with Entertainment Tonight. I'm not familar with him. Brian said he started out on ESPN. Overall, it was a great evening.

Tonight we are attending the Cole Brothers Circus. I've never been to a "real" circus. So needless to say, I'm really looking forward to it. The reason why I put real in quotations is because Winona had a small circus that came into town one year and I wouldn't really call it a circus. It had a couple of clowns and some elephants. So, this should be really fun. I'll post some pics from the show.

For tomorrow, we are going downtown for the street fair. I am hoping it won't be so crowded since tomorrow is the last day for the Azalea festival. Unfortunately it won't be as warm as it was today, but it will still be nice. You gotta love this town!

Renovating...

One word...headache. Here are some pics of what we've done so far. In a few weeks this will all be competed....at least I hope that it is :)
