Memorial Day and Weekend!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!


I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a good Memorial Day holiday. This weekend we got everyone together to talk about going to the lake in a couple weeks. We cooked out and hung out with everyone, it was fun to get together. I'm so ready for the lake and camping!
 Katie & I as always! :)
My earrings are from Forever 21. Top is from Belk.

We didn't really do anything for Memorial Day. We stayed around the house and hung out before Chris had to go back to work for the week. 


 This is from earlier last week. I have to talk about how comfortable this top from Marshall's is. I seriously want to go back and get it in every color I can find! It's a light fabric and just so easy to throw on while on the go. My shorts are from Belk. Sandals are Sperry. They're awesome. Love them!! Watch is Fossil. Better picture below.
Here's a better picture of the watch. Chris ordered it for me for last Christmas. I love the face of it. The colors in it make me love it!

That's all I got today! Hope you guys have a good week. 

Love, Christel. xoxo

Catch Up Over The Past Two Weeks

Hey Guys!!
The past two weeks have been packed full. Chris' mom came into town to visit with us. It was so much fun to have her here to see everything. She left Thursday ,and I decided to spend some much needed time with just Chris and the dogs. So that's the reason I've been MIA. I did get pictures of everything we did and thought I'd share with y'all! 

While Chris' mom was here we showed her around, drove her all around town and took her to our favorite places to eat. One of the many places we ate was at KiKi's. It's a Mexican restaurant, its been on the Food Network It's my favorite Mexican food place here in El Paso.

I got the chicken taco's. They're probably my favorite! Makes me want to go get some right now! Lol.
One of the other places we went was to the food trucks. We have so much fun when we go out there. 


I got the chicken quesadilla and fries with a sprite. And it's seriously one of the best quesadillas I've had here in El Paso! Chris got the steak taco's with a coke! Of course I tried his to and they were so good! LOL :) They have so many different food trucks, when we go out there we try to try a different food truck every time. Chris' mom enjoyed it so much, which made it even better.
We took her to over look the west side of El Paso. It's so beautiful. We had so much fun with Chris' mom. We can't wait until she comes back!

Friday Chris and I decided to go to the lake and take the dogs. It was so much fun!! I can't wait for June and we go to celebrate my birthday.



 My bathing suit top is from JCP. I love the color of it!
I could go to the lake every weekend and be happy. I've always loved the water, so anytime we get to go I have the best time. The dogs had so much fun running around. I'm already ready to go back and go camping. I keep telling Chris we need to go ahead and buy a boat, that way we can go every weekend! Lol. I haven't convinced him yet, but I'm working on it! Haha. 
The last adventure we had was going up to New Mexico to the Carlsbad Caverns. It was super cool and the pictures do not do it justice. If you ever get to go, I do advise going early. The only complaint I have is when we made it all the way through, the only way out was through the elevators and the line was wrapped around twice and they wouldn't let you walk back through to get out.. But other than that, it was a really cool day! Chris took pictures on the camera for me, so I have him to thank for these awesome pictures. I won't add them all, because there's over 100, but I'll try to add the best ones.

 We went with our favorite couple, Katie and Brandon! :D




 This is the water that was in the cave, you couldn't even tell it was water until you really looked at it. It just looked like you were looking down into a hole.
 This picture is of the Big Room. It was so cool! Like I said, the pictures don't do it justice. It looks awesome in person.
This was at the beginning, this is how you got into the cave. 
 Chris trying to blind us with the flash as we were walking. Lol
I love this picture for some reason. <3
We had so much fun walking through and looking at everything. The weather in the cave was cool, I took a sweater to put on just in case and didn't need it. It felt really nice. 

One last thing I have to talk about before I go, I know this has been a long post. I've been going walking for the past month or so and my shoes have not been giving me the support I need. I've been looking for a couple weeks for new shoes. Finally found some that I'm obsessed with! 
They're called Adidas Neo. They are so comfortable! I want them in every color they make. I found these at Academy Sports. They're under $100 and well worth the price!! I plan on getting them in the blue as well. 

Anyways, that's what has been going on around here!
Sorry for the longest blog post ever. Haha

Love,
Christel. xoxo

Weekend Adventures & Outfit Details.

Happy Monday! :)

This weekend was so much fun. Even had a fun little adventure that didn't turn out how we had hoped. So let's start with Friday.. Dave and Buster's just opened here in El Paso about two weeks ago. We've been wanting to go since we found out they were coming here. We decided to wait awhile before going, because everyone in El Paso was excited too! A three hour wait just isn't much fun for me. Lol. Luckily, we got there a little before 5 and only had a 45min wait. (Score) 
Only got this picture of Chris and I. We were both excited to play  games. As you would've guessed. And let me just add the food was the bomb.com. I loved it! 

Saturday.
Chris had to work for a couple hours. We decided to go to the Farmer's Market when he got off. Katie and Brandon came with us. Needless to say, it wasn't much of a farmer's market. It was really disappointing because I was so excited to go. But we checked out the local meat market near us, they had some pretty awesome deals. We, of course, got some steaks. Trying them out tonight. Later that night we went to Hudson's with Pedro because he had never been. And let's be honest, Hudson's never disappoints. ;) If you're ever in El Paso you HAVE to go!! It's my favorite restaurant lately. It's a burger place, but they have a really great pasta! 
I hate that the lights in Hudson's turned it red, but I love it because of Chris's face. Lol.

I have to post about how great my parents are for a minute. They're always sending Chris and I packages with stuff for us and obviously stuff for the dogs. Baby makes me laugh so hard in this. She looks like she's advertising. Haha. But really, I can't thank them enough for always sending these packages and thinking of us when they're out and about. It really is the little things. I can't wait to see them in December when we go back South Carolina for Christmas. 


My top is from Belk. Jeans are my favorite pair from Old Navy. Shoes are from Belk. My necklace was a gift from Etsy. Watch is Michael Kors. Bracelet is from Marley Lilly. :D

xo, Christel! <3
