friday things

boy, time sure does fly when i'm not working! it has been my first full week off for summer vacation and i have been loving it.  it really makes me wonder when i got things done around the house- all the cleaning, laundry & errands, when did i have time for that?

in honor of this being my first week off & wednesday being the first day of summer i thought i'd share the things i'm most looking forward to this summer. . .

1. beach getaways

2. summer nights spent outdoors

3. wedding plans, including my own bachelorette party ;)

4. new beginnings

5. getting lost in a good book

friday things

well, we are back after a 6 day get-away where i feel like all we did was relax, read, eat, and repeat! it was so wonderful to spend time with family & have no time restraints and no schedule.  it was the best kind of vacation.  while away, shawn & i celebrated one year of being engaged.  it was a special day starting out with a little breakfast date, and ending up pool side with a cold drink in hand :)

here's a few photos i snapped via instagram:

it's always so hard coming home, back to reality after an amazing time away. but all in all, it is good to be home- to sleep in my own bed! and it just makes me thankful to have such fabulous people in my life!

lots to look forward to! (more to come on that!) happy weekend, friends!

this week has been a whirlwind & i can hardly believe it myself when i say it actually flew by! it was gym & it was work, followed by appointments, and some shopping... glad to have the weekend here!

1. happy to finally be feeling back to myself. that was one wicked stomach bug, lasting just over a week! what the hecckkkk..

2. still excited over details discussed & decided on during last night's appointment with our reception venue coordinator (more to come on that)

3. looking forward to getting some fresh highlights tomorrow. nothing says spring like a little more blonde;)

4. loving our mother's day tradition of whipping up something delicious on sunday for mom

5. heading to the phillies game tonight...let's hope they win!!

happy weekend, friends!

oh, and one more thing!
6. still on a little bit of a rush after completing my ten miler last weekend 10 minutes faster than last year!

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!
