It's Okay Thursday!

This is my first time linking up for It's Okay Thursday!

So here goes nothing:

It's Okay:

... To have gotten straight bangs today. (Taking a leap with my hair is a very good thing).

... To hope that the guy I'm dating gets to meet my family tomorrow! 

... And to be totally nervous/excited for it :)

... To order the most expensive thing on the menu because Daddy's paying (Kidding!! We split the meal!)

... To give myself daily manicures.

... To not tidy up my room every single day. 

... To have no clue what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. And to figure that out when the time comes.

... To be excited that I'll be going on a cruise in a week and a half (but to be sad too, because I'm missing a lot of friends).

... To not be ready to go back to college in a little over a month. (Really, where did the time go, Summer?! ) 

Friday Favorites & Letters

Favorite TV Moment

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7 - Reunion Part 1 - Photo Gallery - Bravo TV Official Site

I may have been 14 when The Real Houswives of Orange County first premiered, but I have been a faithful viewer since the beginning. This season, I was glued to my TV to catch every episode. I can't wait for more crazy drama on Monday, with Part 2 of the reunion! 

Favorite Purchase

This is my Lilly Pulitzer Planner in the print, "You Gotta Regatta". My mom actually bought this for me, and I am so in love with it! August can't come soon enough, so I can finally start using my planner! 

Favorite New App

You can pretty much always find me with my iPhone in hand, sometimes I even sleep with it (is that TMI? I don't care). Naturally, I'm always looking for the greatest new app!

Check out Paper'd! (Are you enjoying the noticeable Lilly Pulitzer background on my phone? This is the print, "A Thing Called Love") It's got awesome iPhone wallpapers for lock screen and home screens! 200 come with the free app, but upgrade for only $1.99 and you get 300+ extra wallpapers. It's worth the upgrade, I did it, and they're even cuter than the free version! 

Favorite Tumblr Find

I sent this via text to my boyfriend dude I've been dating and he thought it was so sweet. It's the truth though for me, and he is all 3!

Letters:

Dear T, Thank you for the fun times this past week. I love just hanging out at your house being cute and everything with you. Have fun on your family vacay this coming week! I'm going to miss you a lot. 

Dear Dad, Thanks for putting up with me all summer. Only 5 more weeks to go! Just kidding though, you are really awesome and I would be no where without you.

Dear Mama, I really can't wait to spend this weekend with you in the woods! So exciting! And thank you for your daily texts, you're amazing.

Dear Grandma Joy, Thank you for allowing me to help you clean up your home all summer. It's so much fun finding family treasures, like the family bible :) Also, I've been praying for you every night that the tumor is not cancerous. Monday we find out, and I know Dad will be right by your side. Please don't be sick, I love you and need you. You bring Joy to my life (pun intended, and that is her real name!) 

Dear T's Parents (Mr & Mrs A), Thank you for allowing me to come on family outings. I know your son and I aren't technically boyfriend & girlfriend (at least not yet...) but you and your family have treated me like family. Thanks for bringing me to the movies, and for dinner on Tuesday. I loved gossiping with you, Mrs. A, about Real Housewives. You crack me up! :)

Where have I been?!

Hi lovelies, 


I know I've been M.I.A. for about two weeks! I was up visiting my mom in Fort Walton Beach, FL. I love the beach life up there, as well as spending time with all my family. My grandpa turned 81 on June 30, and we had a great barbeque style dinner for him :) 


I also have been getting more organized and have gone on several shopping hauls. I really need to get a job,  so hopefully once I get back to Tampa for school, I will work on that. I would love to work at Lush or Ulta, but I'll honestly take anything I can get.


I hope you all had a healthy and happy 4th! I'll be writing a lot more, pinky promise.


Love, 
Eileen

Weekend!

Oh of course, I promise to start writing a blog, and then I neglect it for the entire weekend. Well, where to begin...

I'm still getting used to the format of Blogger, so bear with me until I make my page unique and interesting.

This past weekend was incredible in so many ways!

Friday- I finally finished organizing and cleaning my room. It's really transformed into a "grown-up" version of itself. I know where everything/anything is, which is lovely. I'll share pictures tomorrow, so look ahead for that.

Saturday- I went shopping and signed up at Lilly Pulitzer so they call me as soon as they get their planners in! I cannot wait to keep an organized, girly planner for college :) That night, I went to the mall with the guy I'm dating. We went to PacSun. I needed to use a gift card that I've been holding on to since Christmas. It was for $50 and the total was $49.27! Don't you just love when that happens?! I got a pair of shorts, a white skirt, and two tank tops!
Anywho, after that we walked around for a while, and ended up going to his truck for a bit to talk, because the mall was so packed.
He then invited me back to his house to watch the Miami Heat game. I got to meet his parents! Which is always an incredibly scary moment, and I wasn't nearly ready as I should be, seeing as I hadn't planned on meeting them that night. They were so nice though, and totally relieved my scared/worried nature.
We stayed in his room, and watched the game. It wasn't awkward, and I didn't feel pressured at all. We just sat and cuddled and watched our team win. I even fell asleep on his chest! How cute!?
He's pretty much perfect! :)

Sunday- We had a family dinner at Olive Garden with all my dad's family, and we even invited my step dad along! I cried at the end of the meal because it was so fabulous, and I really miss all the family I don't get to see on a regular basis.

Thanks for reading this long post!

Love you all <3
