This Weekend Was [Cuddle] Perfect

~Friday~
I got to sleep in with Amazing Boyfriend, which is just wonderful in itself.  And to make it even better, he got up to make us breakfast!  -- egg burritos with bacon.
I laid in bed, watched some TV, and soaked in the laziness, while he got things ready.
I got up, we ate, and laid on the couch cuddling.
{There is just something about cuddling with your man that brings calmness and relaxation.}

We watched some shows and football games, and around two, he left to grab us some lunch.

After lunch, we cuddled some more, until around five, we both had to leave -- him to go coach his junior high hockey team and me to my massage.
I left before he did, and headed over to Massage Best Friend's house to get a wonderful massage.
Afterwards, I headed to the rink to watch his last game.

We both headed home when the game was done and I got to cooking our dinner --filet mignon with mashed potatoes and cooked veggies.
It was so delicious!  I had been marinating the meat in my special sauce for almost two days prior to cooking it.

After, we enjoyed a huge big bowl of ice cream and bought a movie on OnDemand called Trespass.
I've never heard of it before, but it had Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman in it.
The movie was INSANE!  Good, but insane.  I was clenching onto Amazing Boyfriend's hands the whole entire movie.  My stomach hurt quite a bit after.  Those types of movies that can really happen do that to me.
I took two Tums and we headed off to bed.

~Saturday~
I got to sleep in until about 10:30(!), which is so wonderful, since Fridays and Saturdays are my only sleep-in days.

I finally rolled out of bed around 11, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and strolled into the kitchen to warm me up some chocolate chip waffles.
It was freezing in my cute little apartment, so I put on some socks and a sweatshirt and settled down on the couch to watch some of my shows.

It was coming up on noon when I decided I should get off my lazy butt up and get started on my Saturday cleaning before I got too comfy.
I got to my cleaning and was done in about an hour/hour and a half.  I was very proud of myself, except for the fact that during my cleaning I dropped and broke our tooth brush holder, that comes in a set.  So I have to go Walmart today to see if I can find it sold separately, so I don't have to buy the whole set again online.
Cross your fingers!

I'm very hungry after I get done cleaning, vacuuming, and doing laundry.
I did a lot of shopping a few days ago, so our kitchen is very stocked up and a sandwich sounds delicious, since I have all the fixin's.

Amazing Boyfriend came home from work around 3ish and we cuddled on the couch, while he took a nap, and I watched TV.

Around 6, I got up to start dinner...something I had been craving for a while --burritos!
And OMG, they were so good!  I cooked up some Mexican rice to go along with it, and I made us some margaritas! Yum! 
We watched some football and ate our dinner, then got right back to cuddling up on the couch.
(I know, we're like pros at cuddling...but we never get to see each other with our work schedules, so when we do, we want to be as close together as possible.)

About 10 o'clock, we remembered to turn our clocks back, and headed to bed.  
(I didn't even have to change, because I, for once, got to stay in my pajamas ALL DAY!  Which was SO NICE!)
We turned on the TV in our room to watch before we fell asleep and found that Aladdin was on ABC Family.
After about 20 minutes, we were passed out...cuddling.

~Sunday~
With the time change and all the relaxing cuddling, I am feeling pretty good.
I got up at a descent time and got ready for church.
Got to church around 9ish and after, headed off to my parents for the day.

I've got to head to Walmart here pretty soon and hopefully Super Mom will be so kind as to do my hair for me, because my roots getting bad.

-------------------------------------------------------

I love my life, but this weekend was one of the best I've had in a long time.
Especially with all the cuddling!

How was your weekend?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I have to say, it has been WAY too long since I've done


Unacceptable!
I need to get my act together and stop being such a downer.
So let's take a look at what I'm loving today...

I'm loving... that Bubble Boy was on last night, so I recorded it, and I'm watching it right now!

I'm loving... (although regretting) that I'm eating McDonalds for dinner.

I'm loving... that I'm getting a massage on Friday.

I'm loving... that I got beautiful pink roses from Amazing Boyfriend for our anniversary.

I'm loving... that tomorrow is my last day of work before the weekend.

I'm loving... that we got a new big screen tv for our family room.

I'm loving... that I got paid today.

And as always, I'm loving... my handsome and wonderful, Amazing Boyfriend!

Saying NO to Baby Fever

Amazing Boyfriend and I have been dating each other for over a year now,
and not that I'm getting anxious or anything
but he hasn't popped the question yet!
We live together in our cute little apartment and I believe we are the perfect little couple,
so come on dude and let's get this party started already, haha.

Well, as you all know, I am a nanny to three little girls, and being surrounded by them every day, along with tons of other cute little ones, including my beautiful 8 month old niece, 
I'm kinda getting baby fever...
Shhh! Don't tell!

I always tell myself that I don't want kids until at least a year or two after getting married, because I would like to enjoy having fun, descent alone time with the man of my life before a screaming bundle of joy comes into our life.

However, with babies around every corner I look, friends all being pregnant (and/or married), and not being able to fully love and nurture the children I watch, I'm craving that need for motherhood.
A good friend recently told me that I must truly be in love and have found the right man if I am having this feeling... and honestly, I absolutely think she's right.  Amazing Boyfriend is the man of my dreams and I love spending every day with him 
(even with what little time we get to spend together these days). 
I know he is the one for me and I get so giddy 
(..yes, I said giddy..)
when I think of us finally being married and starting our own little family together.
Even though I am having this feeling, there are a few quite obvious reasons that are stopping me from ruining my body for life bringing a baby into the world.

Let's see...
- going through nine months of mood swings 
- the actual thought of giving birth and having my lady parts torn open
- a crying baby waking (me) up ten million times a night
- having sore ta-tas
- spending our life savings on diapers and wipes, clothes, bottles and formula, baby food, etc.
- changing one dirty diaper after the next
- baby throw up (yuck!)
- getting spit up and drooled on

....wait, hold on,
Okay, um, yah never mind.
Having babies can wait.
I am enjoying, very much, my quiet time, bank account, and body (besides the unwanted weight gain) a little too much right now.

When the time is right, I'll know, and it will be perfect.
Until then, I will just have to pretend the little ones are mine but be thankful that I can give them back to their parents when the day is over.


Are you going through or have you ever gone through
BABY FEVER?

One Year Anniversary Recap

As many of you know, last Sunday was amazing boyfriend and my one year anniversary.  I was so excited for it because it was a celebration of one full year that we've been together and, well, I just love anniversaries!

The day started off by me getting woken up around 6:30/7am, I think (all I know is that it was too early to think) by amazing boyfriend giving me a kiss goodbye before he headed off to work...for the next 9-10 hours (poor guy gets worked to the bone at his job, but thankfully he got a promotion and transferred, but more on that later).  I got up a bit later to start my normal Sunday routine: church at 9, then spend the rest of the day with the fam.

I headed back home around 5ish to be home by around the same time amazing boyfriend gets home.  When I got there, there was a card and gift card waiting for me on the dining room table.  The card was mushy and sweet as always and the gift card was from Wet Seal (my absolute favorite place to shop) in the amount of...wait for it... $100!!  Can you believe it!?  He is just way too amazing.  However, I was a little upset when I didn't see flowers sitting there also, like every anniversary, but the shopping spree I was about to have made up for it.  (I spent it all two days later, plus a little more...shh!)

I quickly set out his present and waited for him to come home.  When he finally arrived, he opened his present(s) and was totally amazed.  He's been recently trying gain some extra weight (sheesh, men), and has been wanting to buy a scale, so I went to Bed Bath & Beyond, where they were having awesome deals that day, and bought him a really nice, but still cheap, digital scale.  A little weird, I know, for an anniversary gift, but that's just how we are... I mean for Valentines Day he got me a Dyson vacuum, which I've always wanted just because they are awesome!  But anyways, I didn't want to just get him that, so I was looking online for some ideas for a one year anniversary gift, and I came across the yearly gift list (you know, year one: paper, year two: , etc..).  I know this is mostly for marriage anniversaries, but I thought, why not?  So, since year one is paper, and I'm pretty good at drawing, I figured I'd sketch him a picture of him and me and frame it.
original
sketch
It's not the greatest.  I drew it pretty quickly, but he loved it.  And to me, that's all that matters.  After opening presents, we headed out to dinner at The Lazy Dog Cafe.  It's not how it sounds, like a small cafe where poets come every night to play weird music while they read their latest poems, haha.  It's a really nice restaurant with really good food.  And not too expensive either.  We even got an ice cream sundae that was served in a doggy bowl!

Now, I know you've all been wondering, but have probably figured out since I haven't posted anything about it...he didn't pop the question.  I wasn't too bummed, because that probably would've seemed too cliche if he had, being our one year and all.  But I know when the time is right, it will be perfect and I'll probably most likely cry.

All in all, the night was great and we're still very much in love <3

Clearances Galore!

Sunday is amazing boyfriend and my one year anniversary and I hadn't gotten him anything yet, so last night I headed over to the good ole' Bed Bath and Beyond.  I love this place, but I hate how expensive everything is.  Well, I guess last night was the best time to go, because everywhere I looked there were yellow signs marked clearance.  A little part inside of me squealed like a little child getting a pony for christmas!  There were picture frames marked down to almost half price, candles on sale, accent pillows marked down, art accents for the wall half off, and three or four stands in the back that were all clearance mark downs.  I was in heaven!

Now the best part about this whole adventure is that buried deep behind some marked down Mite-Away boxes was, wait for it... a half priced...out of the box...CHI Air Flat Iron!!  I thought there had to be a catch, so I looked on the clearance sticker to see why it was marked down, because this sounded to good to be true.  And low and behold, it was only marked down because it was out of the box.  
I have been wanting to get a new straightener for a long time because I've had my current one for about five years and now when I use it, the temperature drops, so I have to set it down every minute or so to heat back up.  I wanted to buy a really nice one, but with money being so tight lately, I've had to look at the Remington flat irons sold at Target for like 30 bucks.  Even though, from other bloggers reviews, I've been really wanting to get a CHI flat iron, but they are just so expensive (starting at $99 and go up).  So when I found this jackpot hidden on the clearance shelves, I was ecstatic!  And had to get it!  

I also got a tall live laugh love frame that holds 3 photos for only $7!  I wanted to buy a few more things that were marked down awesomely low, but with the flat iron being $50, I couldn't spend any more money, especially after buying amazing boyfriend's gift, too.
There were a ton of steals, I wish I could of gotten more!  Damn not having won the lottery yet!  Haha.

Do you love Bed Bath and Beyond?
Have you gotten any great deals?

Blog Change Up

I take after Super Mom, by always having to re-design/re-organize everything every few months.  It's a blessing and a curse.  I grew up having our house changed around about ever six months or so.  She would either move around furniture, re-organize cabinets/shelves, or re-paint something.  And ever since I was about 14 or 15, I was doing the same exact thing.  So, if you haven't noticed already, my blog has a new look, again, and this time, a new name.

I chose, Just Sarah, because it's just me, writing to you (my cute little followers), about my day to day life and how I deal with it.  Including fashion/beauty tips, family stuff, living with amazing boyfriend, and finding great deals.  Living, laughing, and loving life is still part of my blog because every day, I have to remember to live, laugh, and love.  I've been through a lot so far in my 20-something years of life, and it's taken a lot of learning to finally realize that my life is worth cherishing.  And I have God, family/friends, and amazing boyfriend to thank for that.

I hope you all like my new changes! 
Hopefully this will be it for a long time.

Let me know what you think :)

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Wow, it's been a very long time since I've linked up for WILW @ This Kind of Love, or any link up really.  Sad, I know...  Lets just say it has been very stressful the last few weeks.  Very.  But here are a few things that have made me smile...
I'm loving... that I get paid tomorrow.
(because we're broke)

I'm loving... that I'll actually have time to paint my nails tonight.
(and use my new crackle nail polish!)

I'm loving... my new job.
(the girls are freaking adorable!)

I'm loving... my favorite shows.
(Awkward. The New Adventures of Old Christine. Dance Moms. Teen Mom.)

And as always, I'm loving... my super handsome, amazing boyfriend <3

Homemade Dinners

Well, I was supposed to have a new friend over tonight for dinner and a movie, but I guess bailing on me and not answering her texts or calls is more important :(

So since I was starving and couldn't wait for amazing boyfriend to get home from work (he gets off after 11pm), I made my pre-planned dinner and ate by myself.
This morning I thawed out some chicken I had in the freezer and put it in a ziploc with some marinade I put together.  It sat in the fridge all day....marinading!  First time I've ever done that, I was kind of totally excited!  I put a slice in the George Foreman Grill and listened to it sizzle.
Then got a pot boiling with some milk, water, and butter.  Added some noodles and seasoning, and wah-lah!
(I took the picture after I already ate some,
there was a lot more than that haha.)
Popped open a bottle of wine.

And enjoy!

Fill in the Blank Friday

I know its not quite Friday yet (for me),
but I'm bored at home and saw that Lauren @ The Little Things We Do
has already posted another...
(happy birthday Lauren!)
So here we go...

My most favorite birthday was probably my 18th birthday.  My parents got me a DJ set up in the backyard (he was our neighbors friend, and he sucked, so we had him plug in an iPod) and we had a jump house set up in the front yard.  It wasn't a huge party, but all my closest friends were there and we swam, danced, and jumped all night!

My worst birthday was my 22nd birthday.  I had a whole party planned, again with a jump house, but two days before the day of the party, my parents said I couldn't have it.  So the party was cancelled and I spent it at a friends pool with two other people.

My favorite birthday memory is this last one when amazing boyfriend and I were in Miami Beach with all the night life and humongous drinks!

The best birthday present I've ever received was getting my black diamond panda necklace this year from my amazing boyfriend.

The best birthday present I've ever given was getting my mom two tickets to see Pat Benatar at the House of Blues.

Birthdays are awesome!  They make me feel more loved then any other day.  I get a ton of phone calls and texts, and a bajillion Facebook comments.  And of course all the presents!  Even though every year the amount seems to get smaller and smaller :(  This year I only got two.

My favorite age so far has been umm, probably 16.  I was so excited to start driving and be able to go around and do things on my own.  I was so independent.

What I'm Loving Wednesday


Today is just one of those days where I feel like crap.
Things just aren't going my way lately,
but I'm going to pull from within 
and remember there are still some good things...

I'm loving that last night after amazing boyfriend coached his rec team,
brought me home a chocolate milkshake from McDonalds, without me asking.

I'm loving that amazing boyfriend's dad sent me a bunch of pictures he took from family events this summer.

I'm loving that I get off work early today, even though my work hours are already short enough.

I'm loving that this weekend I'll get to see my two aunts and uncle.

I'm loving that I'm going to paint my nails tonight.

And, as always, I'm loving my amazing boyfriend!!

I'm an ALL OVER THE PLACE blogger!


I've never blogged before, and a few months ago when I saw an old friend was blogging, I figured I'd give it a try.  I had no idea what I was going to blog about or if I'd even like it, but I had to try.  I started off talking about myself and my life, to talking about my family and delicious meals that I cook, to shopping and fashion.  Pretty much whatever came to my mind or what I was into/doing that day/week, I'd talk about it...and I'm addicted.  Blogging is now apart of my daily life and my blog posts are all over the place.  

I'm Sarah.

I'm a nanny who plans on becoming a first grade teacher.

I'm in LOVE with this man.

Shopping, fashion, health/beauty and makeup are some of my daily topics.
(she has a ton of 'how-to' videos)

I link up pretty much every day of the week.
