Happy weekend to me! and to you tomorrow! Unless you don't work tomorrow either, then good for you!

I think the excitement for the weekend increases about 5x when it's summer outside, but I've also noticed that the weeks are flying by -- that's a good thing when you want to get to your next weekend, but a not so good thing when you realize that school starts in 7 weeks, meaning more like 5 weeks for me. Sad. Saturday I'm taking j.rue on a surprise day date. Lately, we've been settling into a comfortable, but boring routine, and I'm just not okay with that. Here are some links for your lovely weekend.

I can't believe it's the weekend already, this week has FLOWN by. Probably because I've spent the majority of my waking moments stressing about girls camp, which I will be leaving for on Tuesday. Please pray for me. As far as this weekend goes, we have a family get together and oh I'm pretty sure a nap will be involved. A few links to make your weekend a little more lovely...

So, I kind of pooped out of blogging mid-week. Mostly because I forgot my computer, oops. We're leaving for California tonight (squeeeeeeal), but I'm determined to bring old faithful along and keep up with my blogging. I'll at least post my favorite picture of the day. Thank you for all of your wonderful beach and cali suggestions, I knew I could count on you guys. So, until Monday...

I would wear these forever, even if they went out of style.

Amen, Sista

How common is your birthday? Apparently my birthdate is quite popular. How is it I only know 2 other people with my birthday? Any other July 26ers out there?

I was up until 2:00 am packing and got up at 5:15 to get to work on time. Not a link, I just thought you might like to know.

Okay this week has flown, everything seems to finally be getting back to normal and I don't have a complaint about it. Saturday is going to be full of puppy hair cuts, laundry, and house cleaning in preparation for the trip. I've {sadly} realized that I am a very poor housekeeper during the week, so I'm determined to get the place squeaky clean and hopefully keep it that way until we leave. Having 4 puppy free hours and a day of no husband will make it easily attainable. Something about those 3 makes me so unproductive.  Anyway, a few links for you to enjoy over the weekend! xoxo

i can't wait for my turn.

We made it to the weekend yet again. I'm going to warn you, the links are only luke warm today. I gather them all week and I have developed the following theory, using only the most scientific methods: the better my mood, the better links I find. So, with that being said, this week was exhausting, bla, and I am so ready to kiss it goodbye. I feel like I haven't even had a second to breathe in the last 4 weeks, even on my beloved weekends. This weekend won't be any different, but I'm hoping that since I posted my final grades today {YAY!} next week will be much more low key. Here's to a sunny weekend with full clothes lines and delicious smelling clothes!

My future children will surely need these in their bedroom

We made it to yet another week! Did this one feel particularly long and painful to anyone else? I about died when I hit Wednesday. This weekend we'll be celebrating j.rue's graduation successes by...working till 3:30. The both of us. On a Saturday. How did that even happen? I can tell you one thing, we are starting our summer bucket list tomorrow, at promptly 4:03 pm. We have about 70 things to get through so we need to get started. This is serious business my friends. I'll post it sometime next week, aaannndd here's some links to get you thru the weekend:

- gosh, I am in love with these nurseries

- heart-warming wedding stories

Happy Weekend! We're off to hopefully relax and not really do anything, except for a 5k {that I haven't trained for}. But other than that, I'm hoping for at least 4 naps, the pantry to magically be cleaned and the laundry to fold itself. A girl can dream. Here's some lovely links for your lovely weekend.
