what are you loving for spring & summer 2012?

xo,

a few friday things...

1. it's been a busy week...but it has been a good one! i need time to get caught up on all things reality tv & blogland related..

2. my mom & i went shopping this week..i ended up with 6..<SIX!>..dresses for shower & honeymoon.  so.excited!!!!

3. finished the hunger games series a little while ago.  LOVED book one...book two kept me interested...book three was hard to get through.  i thought it was depressing & too political for my taste.  i am glad i read it however...very different from my typical reads!

4. the weather has been exceptional lately! shawn & i have been out on that deck as much as possible.  one of my favorite things!!

5. i have started researching some must-do's for the honeymoon.  post coming soon:)

and last but not least....HAPPY FRIDAY!

xo,

happy monday! hoping you had a gorgeous & fabulous easter.  ours was just perfect & i'm still enjoying a little break from work...not anticipating going back tomorrow. but on the bright side, it will be tuesday, which is almost wednesday - which is mid week! woo...

some photos from the weekend:

 

 a risky move...ending in failure! c/o my brother!

 every year, my brother gives me flowers on easter. this year: peach rananculus...my fave!

 

mom's chocolate peanut butter cake...seriously to die for!

easter (as are most holidays) are a chance to reflect & be thankful.  i'm so thankful for time spent with family, for health, for good food, and great memories made...&  i'm thankful for the future!

let's make it a great week!

friday things

i've been truly enjoying my little spring break.  having small vacation time around holidays is definitely a huge perk of my job. .. a time for catching up on dentist appointments, straightening up the house, doing laundry, and of course getting a little shopping done! last night i ventured out & came home with just a few spring essentials.

just a few of my purchased goodies:)

with Easter this weekend, i really feel like spring is here.  it's not as warm as i'd like it to be, but it is perfect for afternoon walks, and drinks on the deck, long runs, and cracking open the windows to get some fresh air flowing through the apartment.

off to enjoy this sunshine! happy weekend & happy easter...
