5 on Friday

Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
Cheers to the lovely linkup creators: Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!


FLIGHT...BOOKED!
...for my little sister's bachelorette weekend in Miami! I've never been, so I am pumped! Can't go wrong with a getaway vacay on the beach. Now just waiting the few months between now and then... :)

I confess: I cannot think about this trip without quoting Will Smith.

NURSE TINA
I couldn't stop laughing at the sight of what's below. Mark hurt his knee playing football (soccer, really ;)), and Nurse Tina came in to help. Mark's request.



MARKY IS HOME!
My hubby was gone for a few nights this week on business in Chicago. I know we did long distance for the majority of our dating relationship, but now that we're married...goodness! Even a few nights away from him and I miss him before he's even gone!!

FOOD BABE
Have y'all heard of her?! I'm starting to read a lot of this website recently. (The Food Babe is from CLT, woopwoop!) Especially this article my sister sent me about Trader Joe's, my favorite grocery store. EEEEK! Trying to stay informed!!

BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON
Though I'm partial to my beloved Starbucks, I do love when the DD coupons come in the mail. 99 cent coffee any size?! Yes, please. And there's a new flavor that probably has a million unhealthy things inside of it, but right now I'm fine with coffee syrup being my favorite foodie vice. (I'm sure the Food Babe wouldn't approve. ;))

  5. HOORAY for your upcoming trip to celebrate Hope in Miami!! How exciting!!! Oh, I can sooo relate to that "I am homesick when you're away" - when my hubby has to travel on business I swear there's about an extra 15 hours in each day!! lol! So glad your man is back home where he belongs, with his beautiful bride! ;) Sorry to hear he had a football (aka: soccer) injury ... "Nurse Tina" is too cute though! LOL! Drooling over the Iced Lattee - Yummmm!!!! Happy weekend, love!! XO!

  6. Eeeek I'm nervous to read about this Food Babe. I want to know, but I really don't want to know all at the same time. LOVE me some DD, girl! Their hot chocolate might have crack in it... Love youuu! Have a great weekend!

  7. Anytime I hear "Miami" I also immediately start singing the Will Smith song...

  8. Yay for Miami!! You girls will have SO much fun!!! I would love to meet you, I know you'll be occupied by bachelorette activities, but if you have any "down" time, I would love to meet up! Let me know if you need any help or recommendations!! We used to live on the beach so we know the area pretty well! Happy Friday!

  10. Bienvenido a Miami...it's just habit. Nurse Tina is the cutest nurse I've ever seen and I can totally relate to the husband being away. I hate sleeping alone :(

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yay for Miami! That will be so fun:) And glad your hubby is back home with you - though sad to hear that he hurt his knee. You and the pup will get him back to perfect health soon, I'm sure:) Happy Weekend, sweet friend!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Miami is going to be awesome! Hope y'all have a wonderful time! Nurse Tina is too cute! So glad Mark is home and you're back together again.

    Btw: That Food Babe article was eye opening.

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

  14. I feel the exact same when my hubby leaves! We did long distance for 9 out of the 11 months that we dated and that was hard, but him leaving for a night or two seems way harder :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Whoooo Hoooooo for Vacay!! So exciting!! :) :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Miami!!! Ya'll will have so much fun! Hope mentioned the Food Babe too so clearly I must check it out over the weekend! xoxo Have a fabulous weekend!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  19. Girl! I agree... I feel the same way with my new husband is away for work and that was completely normal when we were dating/engaged. It's just different. Mine will be out of town this coming week too so you are not alone. :)
    Glad I found you on the link up!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I hate when the hubs is away too. I get so lonely and bored. Ha.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Woo hoo for Miami, how fun that will be! Mmmm that coffee looks so good! We don't have any DD here :( Happy Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Now I will be singing that Will Smith song for the rest of the day! :) I wish a DD was close by, because then I could justify drinking 5 of those brown sugar cinnamon drinks instead of 1 Starbucks drink, right?

  26. Mark and Tina are precious! Isn't it wonderful how the furries know when we need them most?! I'm with ya on when the hubbies are gone. It stinks. We did long distance for 18 months before we got married, and now I don't ever want him gone, even after nearly 5 years of marriage. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm pretty jealous of your trip to Miami...I could use a warm weather vacay right about now :) I'm pretty sure I need to try that new DD coffee flavor--yumm!! Happy Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh yay for DD! I raved about the new Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavor from Dunkin' in a 5 on Friday weeks ago because I was just like, "people need to knowww". It's been my favorite since then and I seriously crave it (probably because of the addictive crap that's in it... but I don't care, it tastes so good! haha). I hope you have a great weekend!!
    xo Always, Abby
