Woah, are you noticing a double post? I did something I normally don’t do this weekend and wrote a weekend post about two of the biggest blessings in life. I’d love if you check it out. Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled programing…
I can’t believe it’s already Monday! This weekend flew by. We played it a little lower key than usual so Josh could rest up and continue getting better. While there was a lot of couch time there was also a lot of fun time!
Josh and I saw Ingrid Michaelson perform live! She was so incredibly funny and unbelievably talented. We had so much fun, and I now have a new favorite song.
It’s off her new album. Love love love.
Every year Omaha has a Best of Omaha contest where residents can vote for the best business in a particular industry. It’s a really big deal as it’s the only contest like it in the city. I am super proud that my job won Best of Omaha in its particular category this year. I went to the Best of Omaha Festival on Saturday to check out the other winners, eat some free food, and get some product samples. I ended up finding my new dermatologist and got a free $350 eye procedure done on the spot.
I got to try out Ultherapy. It’s a facelift alternative that promotes collagen building and tones and tightens the skin. While I (thankfully) don’t have any sagging or deep wrinkles yet, I am not one to turn down a free beauty procedure! And apparently when done younger it can help prevent deep wrinkles from forming! Results take a while to be seen as the procedure signals collagen production which the body then has to make. I’ll keep you updated if I notice a difference!
Would anyone else totally do all the beauty procedures in the world if they could? Or is that just me? I love being pampered. 😀
After the festival Josh and I headed to an Oktoberfest party! We were lame and the only people not dressed up but we had so much fun! I met Lauren through Junior League and was so excited to get to hang out with her more. We also got to introduce our husbands which was awesome. They already have a beer date planned. 😀
Sunday I was all ready for Zumba when I got to the gym and found out class was cancelled. Rather than head home and skip working out I decided to find my yes (<— great post!) and get creative with my workout.
I did 30 seconds of rowing, 10 pushups, 30 seconds of rowing, 9 pushups, etc etc. When I was done with that I did three sets of 12 goblet squats and 12 kettlebell swings. I left sweaty and shaky and feeling very proud of myself.
After my workout I headed over to Hannah‘s to meet up with her and Joanna. We had a day of fun at Bellevue Berry Farm ahead of us!
This place was SO cute!
We had to have fun with these signs.
The not spooky but totally creepy Haunted House.
Selfie on the hayride! I think this may be my favorite picture of us.
Picking pumpkins.
Mine!
This was the first time I’ve ever carved my own pumpkin from start to finish. I’m normally over it halfway through and hand it off to someone. I was proud of myself. Hannah made hot cider for us to drink while we carved and I ate copious amounts of kettle corn from the farm.
I loved how they turned out! Can you guess which bad boy is mine?
Questions of the Day: Are you a skilled pumpkin carver? Who do you really want to see in concert? Have you had any beauty procedures done? I’m in the middle of laser hair removal right now.
Looks like you all had such a fun weekend! And so cool that you got to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert. She’s amazing!
She is incredible! And somehow even better live!
ahhh tonight is the pumpkin carving here.
I DONT think I be skilled 🙂
but Ill report back.
I’m sure you did amazing!!
i would totally spend all the $ on health foods and beauty products 🙂 or exercise eqpmt – but the budget is the budget so i’ll stick with drug store beauty buys!
Yes! Thank goodness for budgets so I don’t end up homeless! haha
Your eyes look so pretty! I love that your weekend was filled with fall activities. We were going to go apple picking but I got sick. 🙁 Hopefully next weekend!
Oh no I hope you feel better and get to go apple picking soon!
Yay what a fun weekend! That Oktoberfest party looked so adorable! Beer always brings boys together 😉
I was so excited they had something in common! haha
I had such a fun Fal afternoon with you two!! And I agree… that is definitely one of my favorite pictures of the three of us!
Fall* Ugh I can’t type today!!
I can’t wait til Thursday!!
I am a beauty product/procedure junkie! I bought some new make-up and beauty products this weekend and just wanted to try it all! I figure if I take care of my skin now, hopefully I’ll still look 30-ish when I’m 40ish. haha
That’s what I’m hoping too Stacie!
Looks like a fun weekend! 🙂 Your gym is in my old Omaha apartment building…and man, do I miss Vala’s this time of year!!
You lived in Midtown Crossing? How fun! I love the glass windows!
Sure did! It was my husband’s and my first home as a married couple and we were one of the first people to sign a lease. When we lived there, only Prairie Life and the dry cleaners were open and everything else was empty bays. We still have family in NE and love to walk around midtown when we are back! It’s so great now!!!
looks SO fun!!!!
It was a blast!
Looks like a fun week! I love pumpkin patches 🙂 I haven’t been able to go yet, hopefully this week!
I hope you get to go soon Natalie!
I’m so jealous of all the fun you had this weekend! I love Ingrid Michaelson. I’m sure she was amazing live. I definitely wouldn’t turn down a free beauty procedure either. I like to be pampered too! So you’re definitely not alone! I love all the pictures from the farm!
Somehow Ingrid Michaelson was even better in person than she is on the radio! It was an incredible concert!
I love all of these fall-themed farms! Dying to pick pumpkins but trying to wait til it gets a bit closer to Halloween 🙂
I want to go again with Josh! You can never pick too many pumpkins!
Wow, looks like you had a fun weekend!!!

Fun weekend! Glad to hear Josh is feeling better, and even scored himself a beer date. Haha! Looks like you girls had a blast @ the pumpkin patch. Love all the photos.
Have a fabulous week!!
Thanks Jessie! I hope your week is going well too! Weekends are so fun! I wish they could last forever! haha
I love fall and all the traditions. Looks like a great weekend. PS – LOVE the new site!
