Weekend Moments: Summertime at Its Best

By Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! I hope you had the most marvelous weekend. We had a relatively easygoing couple of days accented by a few noteworthy events. We (of course) did the usual mundane, adultish activities: Friday night Target trips, deciding on new lamp shades and bill paying. These seemingly boring activities all eventually turned entertaining…we were near tears from reading greeting cards in Target and deciding on which lamp shade made the best hat. Living with your best friend is fun. 
We also had a wedding to attend this weekend, which was lovely. Any excuse to get dressed up, right? Other than that, we took our dog child to a local petting zoo (not a great idea by the way), ate delicious summer foods & treats, and bought some cleverly designed notebooks on one of our Target trips. I truly love their stationery section! I would highly recommend checking it out.
Have a wonderful week! And in the words of Ellen, “Be kind to one another!”

Weekend Moments: The Holiday Weekend

By Leave a Comment

The long holiday weekend was exactly what we needed! We were able to relax and spend a lot of time together. The heat kept us mostly indoors, but we were able to enjoy fireworks that evening. And by enjoy I mean we attempted to keep our pup from having a heart attack. The poor thing was having the most difficult night. She loved watching the fireworks, but the sounds were just too much!
We were extremely spontaneous on Friday and decided to take a mini road trip to Jackson and Yellowstone. We had been trying to think of nearby places that wouldn’t be over 100 degrees and Wyoming seemed perfect. We were able to get some fresh air, see some wildlife up close and check out Jackson. It was so relaxing and lovely. I highly recommend it as a weekend getaway. Have an awesome week!

Life Lately

Have you seen the commercial about more pictures being taken with the iPhone than other device? It’s somehow extremely sentimental and touching! But really. It is. Well, I’ve always tried to take several pictures daily whether I post them or not and this commercial has only reinforced the habit. This has been our life this week! There have been scrapbooking, yummy treats, hiking (ugh) and even becoming addicted to a new show. Thanks to this addictive new show, I’ve become the biggest baby. My poor husband has to close the blinds before I enter a room at night and make sure A isn’t hiding in the back of my car. Haha. If you haven’t watched it, give it a try! Have a great week!

Weekend Moments: Anniversary Edition

By Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! Hope it was a wonderful weekend. The third week in June is extremely busy for us: we have birthdays and our anniversary, so it’s essentially super fun! We started out with family birthday festivities, friend celebrations and another family feast. It was fantastic! Our little nephews were participating in the mutton busting portion of a local rodeo, so we went and watched them channel their inner cowboy. Have you ever seen such an event? It’s adorable, hilarious and terrifying all at the same time. You’d think that riding on a small sheep would be essentially pretty safe, right? Well, one little boy left on a stretcher! We were super nervous after that, but our nephews did well and we got some great pictures. The best part of the rodeo? The strawberries & cream. The rodeo is part of a summer event called Strawberry Days, so there are some great treats to be had. Love.
Our anniversary (first one!) was the perfect day. Husband started the day by presenting a massive box and flowers. He wrote a sweet card as an introduction to the most wonderful gift: this Pippa bag! This was what my first bag (Christmas 2011) was supposed to be, but somehow I ended up sending him the wrong picture on my wishlist and I got a different color. Oh well…worked out well in the end for me!
We then left for Park City for a fun evening! We had dinner at Ruth’s Chris, were grateful for a complimentary anniversary cheesecake (it even had a candle) then went back to the Waldorf for swimming. We sort of had two desserts because we had to eat our traditional anniversary cake. We had to, right? All in all, it was a splendid weekend! I’m so grateful for this great guy.
