We Do Us
I am a huge Maren Morris fan. So it was no shock when I put two and two together and realized the new song I had been crushing on was her real life boo.

Late to the party cause girl we're the party
You're the tequila and the salt and the lime
Doesn't matter wherever we're at girl
Whatever happens it's a hell of a time
We roll out, we get drunk, we get down
Baby I loo kind of stupid when I'm dancing with you
But you laugh and I like it, we're magic tonight
We don't mean to make 'em jealous but we do
Make our own sunshine, make our own love baby
Ain't nobody do it like we do us
We make our own music, bang our own drum baby
Ain't nobody do it like we do us
We go together like New Year's Eve
And cheap champagne, and you can pour it all on me
Ain't no better feeling it does what it does
Ain't nobody do it like we do us
Watching you smiling gets me smiling
Everything about you, everything about me just
Fits like a puzzle, I love your love girl
You can be the waves, baby I'll be the beach
I'm the word, you're my rhyme
Every note, every line
Goes together like a song that we got stuck on repeat
We're stumbling home cause it's three in the morning
But that ain't gonna stop you and me
Girl there ain't no taste like the taste on your tongue
Ain't nobody bring it like you bring it 'til it's done
Ain't nobody know you the way that my body knows you
Baby ain't nobody do it like we do
Make our own sunshine, make our own love baby
Ain't nobody do it like we do us
We make our own music, bang our own drum baby
Ain't nobody do it like we do us
We go together like New Year's Eve
And cheap champagne, and you can pour it all on me
Ain't no better feeling it does what it does
Ain't nobody do it like we do us

Weekend Recap: 8/20-8/21
This weekend was go go go!
Saturday, we were up bright and early in our purple and blue to run for Ellison in the Butterfly Fund 5K. I had never run a race as part of a team before and it was such an awesome experience!
We have a really wonderful work family and I loved all of us being out there to support Deborah and her sweet family!
After a quick shower and stop by Ham and Goody's for mom's favorite lemon cookies, I was off to Gatlinburg. I was lucky that work and family schedules lined up and I could spend Saturday afternoon and night with mom, dad, and Sophie for Olympics, laughs, and mom's amazing dinner. Sunday, the Gatlinburg team was on set for the GAC Top 20 shoot. The rain cleared out just in time for some great shots at Ober Gatlinburg and downtown.

Now on to another full week!
Wouldn't want it any other way..

Watching-
The Night Of on HBO.
This crime/drama/thriller has sucked in the good majority of my friends and as of last weekend you can add me to that list. If you listened to the podcast that had everyone's ear in 2015 Serial, you'll love The Night Of, definitely the same kind of vibe.

Wanting-
All the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2016 home decor that released on Swoozie's this week.
The new pillows and coffee table trays are calling my name.

Starbuck's Peach Green Tea Lemonade.
The greatest afternoon pick me up, it has a little kick of caffeine thanks to the green tea but won't ruin your afternoon workout/run with an upset stomach.

Fear thou not, fear thou not
Crawl into my skin, I’ll crawl into yours
Teach each other what our bodies are for
Learn how to sink and you learn how to swim
Learn how to lose and you learn how to win
So buy me a drink, and I’ll buy you a drink
You don’t seem to care what your boyfriend would think
With the prophet Isaiah on the crook of your arm
Saying, I will protect you from all earthly harm
Fear thou not, fear thou not
My right hand will hold you, fear thou not
I call you trouble, you call me friend
And I had no intention of losing again
I’m the reason you’re guilty, I’m the other man’s arms
Honey, what am I doing, how did I get this far
Fear thou not, fear thou not
My right hand will hold you, fear thou not
Fear thou not, fear thou not
My right hand will hold you, fear thou not, fear thou not

Weekend Recap: 8/12-8/14
Home was very very good to me this weekend.
I headed West Thursday afternoon and arrived just in time for Mexican and a cold beer with mom and dad, the original Pekarsky trio [oh and Sophie.] Friday was a day for being a homebody, lunch time pool party with mom, Olympics in the afternoon, and Steeler football and the greatest burgers ever for dinner. Saturday was finally Warren's birthday party! I feel like we'd been counting down forever.
Sara nailed it with the Curious George theme and I could not get enough of little man and all his fun new noises and words.
Sunday came way too fast with a 6am drive time back to Knoxville for My Kind of Lovely's Greek event in Sorority Village. The temperatures were hot hot hot but the koozies and swag was cute cute cute.
This week is coming in hot with three days of travel for client meetings/presentations/shoots, Thursday's tailgate grand opening party for MKL Knoxville, August's 5K Saturday, but most importantly heading to the mountains for another wonderful weekend with mom and dad [oh and Sophie.]

Waiting
I am awful at being patient.
I want to be in control and know what's coming, after all my job title is "Media Buyer/Planner."
Yesterday started the second week of She Reads Truth's Ruth study and today's devotional jumped off the page at me.
"Waiting as Obedience"
Boom. There it is, that word, "waiting."
Looking back on my short life and career waiting has always paid off for me but it's really hard to look towards the future and have that hope when you're in the moment/present.
I had to wait three years into my career to find the job/agency that was the right fit for me.
I waited almost a year to find my own place in Nashville.
And am still waiting to find that person. But after reading today's scripture and the devotional I felt content in my waiting place.
"In your waiting place, cling to the hope that God will not leave our stories unfinished or unredeemed. They may not look how we expected but, as with Ruth and Naomi, our story is His story. We can wait with hope, and we can trust and obey with confidence. Thanks be to God."
After all, who knows what will come your way while you're waiting.

Stop, Drop, and Bowl
Last night I got to hang out with the awesome My Kind of Lovely girls for bowling, ice cream, and lots of pictures. Did I break 100? Heck no. However, I also didn't go down the lane with the ball so a win there. I barely cleared 65 but it was such a great night meeting all the MKL girls and being deemed an official member of the team.
I missed the Bachelorette finale live but we all knew who she was going to pick anyway and you can't re-watch making new friends on Hulu the next day.
The next few weeks will be crazy gearing up for Bid Day and the push to come after that but it will all be worth it thanks to this awesome girl gang.
