friday's letter {23} belated edition

dear friday you were nuts yesterday. it was one of those days that was long, but fast at the same time. you know what i mean?

dear oversea bff i love our google chats. too bad we have a small window of opportunity since there's a 14 hour time difference, but i'll take it :)
dear jury summons i can't remember what my initial reaction was, but i think it was something like annoyed, frustrated with a pinch of excitement? fortunately you don't fall on any of our vacations. otherwise my reaction would have leaned more towards angry with no such pinch of excitement.

dear kodi i caught you red handed. you looked so pitiful & immediately knew you were in trouble. 

dear M i think you're obsessed with naked & bolthouse farms juice. & kroger's "buy one get one" deal has only encouraged it.

dear late night movie date you were so much fun! even though i didn't get to see gatsby, start trek was still highly entertaining. getting home after midnight was thrilling. made me feel young again :/ #marriedfolk

hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
we're hoping the rain holds off for our family cookout.

lately {18}

{1} lately the weather has been delightful. yesterday it was 83 degrees with the perfect amount of wind blowing in the background. they say today's going to be 87! it's enabled me to take walks & spend large amounts of time outside. it's where i've developed a nasty farmer's tan. i'm too embarrassed to show a picture of my two-toned body. 

{2} as many of you know, i wuv my pups. i can never have too many pictures with them.

{3} a quick snap of me & my biggest role model. i love my mom more & more each day.

{4} aqua terra -- a hidden gem in our town. we only eat there on special occasions. on mother's day we made sure to hit that place up! that's where M & i shared a delicious cheese platter & i ate the most mouth watering sea scallops ever. i can still taste them. mmm.

{5} all the moms front & center at church being blessed.

{6} lately we've been soaking up as much time with our little lake as possible. we have only 13 days left here & we've yet to find a place or even started packing. i keep telling myself "maybe tomorrow". #nahhh 

what have you been up to lately?

say yes to love

happy hump day friends!

this past weekend my dad shared this video with me. i had seen the first part when it came out a year ago {part one} & when i found out there was a part two, i was tickled.

such a sweet video that can't do anything but make you teary-eyed & smile ear to ear.

enjoy!

what's currently on my mind

a much needed pedicure

my new favorite irish cream tea

planning our trip to nyc

His presence

how i'm craving to chop my hair again {pixie?}

the great gatsby -- who hasn't seen it yet & wants to join me?

this weekend's cookout

capturing moments like these^^^

the list could go on & on. what's on your mind?

moms know best

it's always hard to share our time with our families now that we're married & all. but yesterday we made it our mission to spend time with both of our moms. they deserve so much more than they receive. mom's are the glue to every family. they are the heavy & the good. & they really do know best. 

thanks mom{s} for being our real one true loves.

hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.
