Blackberry Pie & Blue Candy

I recently celebrated my sweet sixteen. It was perfect! For this lovely event I wore:

An oversized light pink sweater from Victoria's Secret (Shocker there ... Wearing pink on your sweet sixteen is a must!), an amazingly unique gold spike necklace from Deb, some dark wash jeggings from Gap, and of course my birthday sash!

I celebrated by having a party with some close friends and family!


 My Mom made my absolute favorite ... BLACKBERRY PIE! I have been blowing out candles on blackberry pie since I was about two. It's a tradition, and it NEVER fails :)


I also had yummy pumpkin cupcakes!


Then came the most amazing surprise! I received a brand new 2013 Blue Candy Ford Focus from my parents!!! YES! I, Madison, got my very own car! It is amazing.


       Boyfriend, siblings, and best friends!

It was a spectacular, lovely, perfect, amazing, unforgettable day! But, it wouldn't have been so perfect if it weren't for my parents. They do so much for me, and I am so blessed. My dad made sure my car was absolutely perfect, equipped with a back-up sensor, heated seats, and satellite radio! Now he just has to teach me how to drive ... Hahaha!


And, of course, no birthday is ever complete without my mom's beautiful table decorations, hugs, eagerness to make my day special, and organization! She also gave me a beautiful pair of diamond earrings which I plan on blogging about later. :) Way to go, momma! 


I try to take a few moments everyday to thank God for everything he has blessed me with ... a wonderful, supportive family; a loving, perfect boyfriend; a group of friends I can be my complete self around; and a cozy, beautiful house to come home to every night. Turning sixteen made me realize how fast time flies. My resolution for my sixteenth year is to really savor every moment! Here's to another great year!

Peace & Love!

Halloween Dance :)



As crazy as it sounds, my school has our Halloween dance AFTER Halloween ... Yeah kinda dumb, but hey it's still a dance!
 
Ryan and I dressed up as Dairy Queen & Burger King! Kinda funny since I work at DQ ;)


No dance is EVER complete without matching Converse!


He was laughing ...

 
These are my beautiful best friends :) I put together the two witch costumes, by the way!
 
It was a great night, and I definately got my Gangnam Style on ;)
 
Have a great weekend!

Halloween Festivities Continue ... Cute Costume!

I know I'm a little late, but I HAVE to blog about my Halloween costume! Super easy & super cute!
I dressed up for trick-or-treat night! (Yes, I'm probably too old, but hey it's free candy!) Anyways, I threw this Minnie Mouse costume together.
 
Ears - Recycled 'em! (My sister wore them when she was like 5...)
Scarf - Old Navy ($5.00)
And of course my latest semi-splurge ... LEATHER BOMBER FROM MAURICES ($69.00)
 
I absolutely adore my new jacket. It goes with literally everything!
 


 
I was fortunate enough to trick-or-treat with a cool cat, a joker, aaand Cinderella! ;)
 
 
And that's all for tonight!

I'm Back!!

 
Hola! Hello! Hi! Konichiwa!
I'm Back :)
After a series of crazy busy weeks, I'm back to posting! AMEN!
With work at my local DQ, school, and cheerleading, I had zero free time!
But, with Dairy Queen closed for the season (Boooo :(((  ) and cheerleading winding down, I find myself sitting here with a cup of delishh pumpkin coffee, writing this post!
 
Sooo... This is what has been up lately!
 
A few weeks ago, my school had our annual Homecoming Dance!
 
I wore a teal dress! I originally bought it as a long dress, but I'm a dancer...I need to be able to move! So, we had it tailored and made it a short dress! Also, my boyfriend and I decided to be different and wear matching CONVERSE :) So much more comfy than heels!
 
 
The dress was embellished with peacock feathers on top!
It was a great time, & Gangnam Style was definately the song of the night ;)
 
The rest of my time was spent...
 
Hiking with Ryan! (After repeatedly telling him to slow down...He is clearly in better shape than me! Haha)

 
Taking a trip to a local state park with my fam...

He made me laugh... :)
Flynn Grace "driving" :)
 
 Family!
 
 And just hanging around my house, watching Halloween movies, & eating anything and everything pumpkin!
 
I clearly have a problem... Hahaha
 
That is all for today! I hope you are all having a fabulous fall!
Keep the peace!
Xoxoxo
