The LaPrade Lifestyle

Here are a few pics from my week off! I will be starting my new job Monday at JCPenney and I am a little nervous and a little excited all at once! This week was nice to take off and relax with Ross and Parker before I start my new job! I did a lot of shopping so that I will have cute outfits everyday and catching up on all of my magazine subscriptions!!

The ladies from Dillard's wanted to go out to have a little going
away party so here we are at On The Border enjoying our time together!
The ladies got me a Coach wallet and some new Sarah Jessica Parker perfume! They were a great group of ladies to work with!

Ross and I went to Maggiano's to celebrate my new job!
We had a great time having a date just the two of us!
The last time we went there was when we got engaged!
We had a blast and of course ate way to much!!

Parker and I caught up on my reality TV obsession!
The Bachelor...Biggest Loser...Teen Mom...it was
great having a few lazy days! :)

Parker and Ross enjoying the afternoon on the couch!

Parker discovered his love for apples!
One morning I was cutting one up before a morning
run and Parker barked and whined until he got one! ;)
He ate it up and will do any trick for an apple!!

I did a home improvement!
We have a blank wall in our dinning room area
so I got an idea from pottery barn about frames and
iron work. We have tons of engagement pics and wedding photos that
needed to go on the wall anyways so that we could have more counter space!

One day during the week Lorin and I hung out and we had a great time!
We saw When in Rome and then picked up my bridesmaid dress!
We both really enjoy girl time!
On Friday I got to help Lorin and Nora put together
Lorin's wedding invitations! We stamped, embossed, Lorin addressed,
and Nora sealed the invites to go out for the big day!
Here is Lorin hard at work!
