First things first, after a bunch of you asked, the information about the dress my sister wore to the wedding this weekend has been added to the Fashion page.
***
After a solid four and a half hours on the road, plus a 30-minute pit-stop in Ocala to drop off Ryan, Iām back at my parentsā house to pick up Sadie and will be in St. Pete for the night!
Iām not gonna lie, Iām a little too excited to watch The Bachelor with my mom and sister this evening. Watching all the nutty drama is so much more fun when you can chat about it and overanalyze the craziness.
Breakfast
Our commute home from Amelia Island began around 9 a.m.
Ryan, my sister and I made a pit stop at the nearest Starbucks for breakfast.
I kept things light and ordered a spinach, egg white and feta wrap because my stomach felt a little funky (it still does, actually).
After dropping off Ryan in Ocala, Leslie and I hit up Subway for sandwiches on our way back to St. Pete.
I opted for a ham sub with all the veggies, though you wouldāve thought I ordered a mustard sandwich considering the amount of the yellow condiment that found its way onto my sub.
I wiped some of the mustard away and dug in!
Though my appetite still isnāt back to normal, I was hungry for lunch and the sub tasted great.
We arrived at my parentsā house close to 3 p.m. and after smothering Sadie in kisses, I immediately ate a small container of fresh blackberries and a Fiber One bar.
Apparently my mom and dad spent time going through old boxes of stuff this weekend, so there were some fun things to see when we arrived, including a pile of amusing old photos.
I love looking at my parentsā wedding day pictures.
Donāt you think my dadās āstache is snazzy?
(Longtime readers may remember the day I tried on my momās wedding dress! So fun!)
And how sweet is this picture of my sister?
Iām gonna go out on a limb here and say my mom cut her bangs.
I also couldnāt help but smile when I saw this old photo of me and my dad having fun on the beach!
I hope you guys all had a great weekend and are enjoying an added day off if youāre able to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day today!
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! says
I cant believe how perfect your moms wedding dress fit! (and how blonde you were of course!)

There’s 4-6 of us girls who get together every Monday night to watch The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad, whichever one is on. It’s so much fun. We definitely love to critique and overanalyze it…so much more fun when you can share the crazy with others haha.

I agree that watching the bachelor is way more fun with others. I miss college and watching with my roomies every week!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I completely agree about the Bachelor … it is SO much better when watched with other ladies who can overanalyze everything! š
Loving the uneven bangs your mom get your sister … that looks like something my mom would have done!
Alaina says
Haha, I think every father had a ‘stache in the 80s. My dad’s was pretty cool. š
I once tried to cut my own bangs. Yeah, they were about an inch below my hair line.
Alaina says
Oh and the title reminds me of the Jimmy Fallon and Ben Affleck skit on SNL where they’re radio DJ’s. “And we’re back!!”
