Catching Up

TV Show Addictions: 
I have several shows I have become addicted to because of Netflix. One of those being Pretty Little Liars. I started watching it last summer when I moved into the apartment. It was a show about high schoolers, but it was intriguing because it was a mystery, drama, romantic comedy all in one. I couldn't stop watching it because I wanted to know what happened next.
I also became addicted to Once Upon a Time, which is a show I've already given you my review of on the blog. I love all the fairy-tale stories all mixed into one modern-day tale. If you like Disney fairy-tales, you will probably really enjoy this show.
Lastly, I enjoy Jane the Virgin. There is only one season of the show on Netflix, and the second season just finished up on regular TV. It's a romantic-comedy of a Hispanic twenty-something and her family. It's based around her becoming pregnant and having a baby, but it's much more than that. It's quite funny and includes many cliff-hangers as well.

What You're Wearing:
On Saturday I went to a yard sale and a peddler's mall with some fellow Twenty-Somethings, worked a 5.5 hour shift, and saw my beau. It was a really great day because I was finally free from school work for the semester! I could do whatever I wanted and not have homework hanging over my head. Yay! Needless to say, my first homework-free Saturday was really nice.

After work (this is what I wore)...
I went to Chuy's with my beau..we LOVE eating there

Fave Thing to Do on a Sunday:
I love going to church every Sunday. Singing and praising God, "fellowship" with others and learning to think more like Christ are all is something I really enjoy. I also really love spending time with my beau on Sundays. The first day of the week is a great day to kick back and relax, visit with family and eat good food. Oftentimes I spend Sundays in my beau's neck of the woods. This past Sunday we were able to buy some flowers at a local greenhouse (and put some hanging baskets up on his porch), visit his sister and her family and visit with his parents too. We got to play with his little niece and be entertained by her for a couple of hours. I think there will be some baby-sitting in my future this summer. I adore little kids.

See one of the baskets in the background? :)

FUN: 
Yesterday I was invited over to my bff from high school's house for dinner and a visit. She wanted us to make a recipe out of a cook book I had given her. It was a Whoopie Pie cook book. So, we went to make the traditional chocolate pies with a marshmallow buttercream filling. This was our "double-boiler" method of melting the marshmallows (photo below). It was interesting. haha It did finally melt the mallows though. I didn't get a photo of the pies themselves, but you can kind of see them in the background of the photo. She is a sweets addict, more so than me even, so she didn't think the chocolate "pies" were sweet enough..so she sent them home with me and I am going to crumble them up and make cake pops. It was fun reconnecting with an old friend.

I'll try to keep better caught up after this! 

Happy Blog-iversary!

First of all...

 Happy 1st Anniversary Tidbits From TwentySomethings! 

I just realized that exactly one year ago Granny Eyre made the first post on our blog. I'm really excited that we have stuck with this for a whole year and have been fairly dedicated to keeping it up-to-date. I hope we can continue to keep it that way. I have never written on a blog so this has been a new experience for me, and I really enjoy it!

On to my blog post...It's the 21st day of my summer break. It's been great!! I've been getting into a variety of activities including seeing some really great new movies, shopping with my Mamma, going riding, fishing and more.

My beau and I don't go to the movies often, but we do enjoy going to the theater occasionally when there's a movie we're wanting to see. This weekend we set a record, we went to see a movie on Friday night and then went again, to a different theater, on Saturday night. First-run movie theaters are expensive, but it is so nice to kick back in their comfy chairs in the chilled room and watch a movie on the big screen. We saw Tommorowland and Age of Adaline. They were both Awesome!

Tommorowland just came out last week. Most people know I have an obsession with Disney and this Disney movie didn't disappoint. It's a really cool story; the actors are good, the videography is cool and the way the story unfolds keeps you wanting to know more. I'll just let you watch the trailer here to find out more about the story. I recommend that you see it if you're into Disney and/or sci-fi.

Age of Adaline has been in theaters for a month now. Blake Lively (who I love from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies) plays the main character. She is stuck at age 29 and she lives nearly a century being the same age; her appearance stays the same, her body remains functioning like a 29-year-old's body would, while everyone around her ages normally. It's full of history, love and romance. We actually saw the 9:55 PM showtime and I stayed awake through the entire movie (well...at the very end I may have drifted off for a couple of minutes), but still...that's really saying something for me! It was that good! I liked this even better than Tommorowland! The trailer is here. Seriously, you should see this movie! Have you seen any really great movies recently? 

In other news, I have been spending some time outside with my beau. We went riding his four-wheeler down in this picturesque creek/wooded property called "Jig-Water". He drove his old farm truck down there with the four-wheeler in the back. It was very bumpy and rough at times. We rode down a rocky road and parked beside the creek. Then we took the 4-wheeler out and rode around the woods and through the creek for a couple of hours. It was awesome! When we were finished, we loaded back up and crossed the creek and drove to town to get wings for dinner. It was pretty neat and it was a beautiful creek. Plus, riding is really fun! 

Last weekend we went fishing. It was another beautiful outdoor adventure. We were at a pond, on a gorgeous, hilly piece of land (my neighbor's). We caught several large blue-gill and a couple of bass. It was a successful fishing trip; although we didn't keep them because we had told my neighbor's we wouldn't be. It would have made a delicious meal though!  

See Nova in the weeds there?

I've been trying to take more walks, both with others and with the dogs. It's been really great weather for being outside too! I hope it stays like this for a while longer. Speaking of which, I hope the weather is lovely for the 5th annual Twenty-Somethings camping trip! 

Adios Folks!
