Friday, Friday

I have been slacking this summer, big time.

But, that's okay.

Here are some of my favorites this week!

1. These chilly mornings.

Seriously, when did July/August have cool mornings?

I am not sure, but I hope it stays.

They are making my morning runs SO much more enjoyable.

2. These Nordstrom Sale beauties.

My first ever pair of Frye Boots. 

And I am p-u-m-p-e-d.

 

3. My friends

Yesterday afternoon I picked up the phone to call one of my best friends, Kylah.

Literally 45 seconds into the conversation, and she says "wait, what's wrong, are you okay?!"

I had not given any inclination that I was anything other than super happy to talk to her, 

but your best friends know. 

After an hour long phone chat, I was once again reminded about how lucky I am to have a friend like that.

I am thankful I get to do life with someone like her, someone who is so intentional and real and makes you laugh until your belly hurts.

4. Double Date Saturday

We are looking forward to our double date this weekend with our neighbor friends!

They are so fun to be around, and we have so much in common with them!

5. Honey Autumn Apple

I love Fall. Like a LOT. Last year I found this heavenly lotion from none other than BBW.

However, I am almost out and the site has it in their Blue Ribbon collection but you can't buy it.

I am not sure what that means, but I sure hope it's coming back!!

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Weekend Recap

We could better rename this past weekend "the weekend I did nothing."

I have been going nonstop since about May. 

Literally every weekend I have had to do something.

Go-go-go can really wear on a girl.

And, to be honest.. I am exhausted. 

After one of the hardest weeks [physically and emotionally] I have had in a long time, 

I was so ready for the weekend. 

I woke up Friday to the most perfect running weather for late July.

I mean, 58 degrees? Yes please.

God has a funny way of getting our attention at times, and He used that to do it.

It was in that mile 2 moment that I really just let it go. 

I have been trying so hard to control everything, and I just can't do it. 

No one can. He has every little moment planned out, and I don't even have to worry.

Whether or not I choose to live that way is on me. 

So, enjoying the truth that His mercies are new every morning, 

I just breathed.

Now- onto the happy "to-do" of my weekend.

Friday "day" will be in another post.... it is that awesome.

 I signed Caroline and I up for a blow out and treatment at the salon for Friday Night.

Even though I was really disappointed that my long-time hair dresser wasn't the one that actually did the treatment on my hair, 

it turned out great!

My hair was so soft and healthy-looking!

It was off to Mexican dinner after that.

Saturday the only thing we did was go to the gym, lay around, and make dinner.

I told y'all I did nothing.

It was so great to just rest.

I tried out a new recipe [be on the look out for it].

I marinated some flank steak and chicken, and made fajitas.

Yes, mexican twice in a row. Oh well.

Sunday I put in a few hours of work for a customer that needed my help, 

and then it was off for another chill day. 

Seriously could not have asked for a more relaxing weekend.

It was so nice, I may even plan another.

Have a great week!

 

Weekend Recap

So, since my genius self got herself a little pinched nerve last week,

I have been taking it super easy. 

Friday was BBQ, ice cream, and catching up on our shows. 

Saturday we hung out by the pool, and hung out with our neighbors for a few hours that night.

We have so much in common with them, it's a little crazy.

Sunday I got some Pinspiration, and did a few projects.

I bought this hutch from a girl awhile back, and I finally found a use for it!!

This is just the "I wanna put something on it" phase. 

I cannot wait to really design it this weekend!

The Owl cookie Jar will stay though- it is my Great-Grandmother's, and she had it for 75 years before she gave it to me. (My grandfather is super jealous that she gave it to me.)

 Cue my "I got this straight from Pinterest" project.

But, I love it. 

It really makes our entryway ten times better!

 

 I love the new Jana Kramer single, Love. 

This weekend we hit our 9 month of marriage mark.

I seriously cannot believe time has flown by like it has!!

Now to plan his birthday this Wednesday!!
