Today.

Today was filled with sleeping in (until 8:10am), not cleaning my room, crazy hair, eating sushi with a friend, book store shopping, fun nails, relaxing, soaking up the sun, falling asleep on the swing in the backyard, and spending the evening with great friends. 

How was your day?

PS. Feel free to follow me on Facebook, if you don't already. :)

Lovelies.

So, I'm not sure where this week went!

Seriously.

It just FLEW by for me. 

Because of that I barely had time to read blog posts or find any new favorites.

Boo.

I just wanted to share a quick few that made me smile.

I adore everything in this Etsy shop! Eek. 

It is so perfect for sweet, little birthday gifts. *wink, wink*

I got all giddy over Kelli's blog!

It's a dream.

Recently I am obsessed with this blog & this one!! :)

They are good, I tell ya. 

I know this post is extremely short this week, but next week I will have time to add more.

Before I jet off I want to share something that made me oh-so excited.

Don Naylor is the guy who designed my blog.

Everyone knows I was over the moon about it, and still am!

Well, not only does he blog here, but about a month or so ago he finally got his website up and going!

It can be found at www.donnaylor.com, with his web designs, which features 'The Plaid Sparrow'.

Please do yourself a favor and check him out.

He is awesome!!

Happy weekend, friends.

Soak up the sun.

much love,

xoxo.

Dust in our eyes.

Today Nathan & I had the day off of work. 

On top of that the girls had a three day weekend because of 'Good Friday'. 

I honestly wish that I were back in school just so that I could get random days off.

Wouldn't that be lovely?! ;)

(Though this particular "good friday" isn't just random, but I hope you know what I mean!!)

Anyways ... I realized more than ever today that I portray a very "motherly" personality. 

It's kind of insane. It makes me feel like I am "less fun" than others because I am constantly concerned with their well being. 

I have heard so many stories of people dying from four-wheeler wrecks. 

Nathan definitely loves riding four-wheelers and has a blast, which is GREAT!

I am just so worried that everyone is going to hurt themselves, so I am constantly aware of everything that could possibly go wrong. 

Ugh. I get annoyed with myself sometimes.

I wish I could just enjoy things and trust that everything will turn out fine. 

Plus, the dirt roads sent dust flying EVERYWHERE ... and into our eyes it went.

But all in all it was an adventure and without an adventure, life would be a little less interesting. ;)

Despite all of my worrisome ways, today was a really good. :)

These are the reasons why:

1. I got to sleep in ... and it was actually after 8am!! (Applause would be much appreciated at this time.)

2. I spent all afternoon with my boyfriend & sisters.

3. We all got to eat some mexican food.

4. All of us brought my mom home a sweet kitten. (PS. She started crying, you guys! Seriously. It was cray! She was beyond happy.)

5. I received a very LARGE Starbucks coffee bag from Nathan's mom for Easter! She knows the way to my heart. I was doubled over with happiness. :D

6. My family and Nathan spent the rest of our night watching 'Scream 3' because my sisters really wanted to see it. (which is NOT as scary as it was when I was in 8th grade all those years ago!!! **Also it has far too much cussing for me, I'm afraid.)

I hope you had a very "GOOD" Friday!

Easter is literally just around the corner. 

I look forward to hearing what wonderful things your weekend brings you all!

much love, friends.

xoxo

PS. Sorry for the low quality photos. I was working only with an iPhone and didn't do anything special to the photos this time. Plus, Nathan took a few ... so ... ;) jk. He did a great job. The trip really needed to be instagram-ed, but maybe next time!

Adventure Day, Part 2

Hello, hello!
I am back for the second installment of our little adventure from yesterday. :)
After our trip to the small town of Hardy, we headed over to Mammoth Springs.
It was fun to walk around the park, hand in hand, soaking up the warm sun!

By the end of this little adventure I was hungry!

& I tend to get a bit cranky when I haven't eaten.

So, we finished our little walk around the park, hopped in the car, and headed home!

I'm so happy I got to spend a great day with my favorite person. :)

He sure makes me laugh & everything just seem a whole lot better!

PS: I just want everyone to know that I was scared to death walking across that bridge! I made Nathan hold my hand the whole time. 

Happy Thursday, folks!

much love. 

Adventure Day, Part 1

Well, lovely people, I had the day off of work!
*jumped for joy*
I originally had to work, but got my schedule switched around so that I could have today off & then work this coming Friday! :)
The weather was in the low 70's and boy-oh-boy was it nice!
So, we decided to head outside and see what adventures we could get into.
I took a ton of photos so I am breaking them into two posts.
This was the first part of our day:

Nathan has been wanting to ride the four-wheeler for weeks now!
He finally got me on one & we had a blast. :)

I just want to say that it stayed cloudy the whole time we rode the four-wheeler.
Then as soon as we got off, ran inside to use the restroom, and went back out ... it was SUNNY!
Geez.
Anyways, then we decided to make our way over to Hardy.
I can't believe I have never been there before.
It was a cute little town with some lovely shops. :)

The day was filled with red sunglasses, hoodies, smiles, windblown hair, candy, ice cream, fancy old digs, and a hazelnut latte that tasted like a cappuccino, creepy alleyways, quotes, mirror photos, jokes, shoes, a closed bookstore *tear*, and hand holding. :)

I'll have Part 2 of our adventure up tomorrow!

I hope you all had a happy Wednesday!

much love.
