A good Friday, indeed!

Had SO much fun! :)

Aaaaand, four days till vacation!  Awesomenessss.

What we decided...

So I scratch the other designs and when with something very simple and to our theme... I like these a lot!

VACATION!

So last night Joe and I decided we needed to go on vacation, just the two of us- about time!

I remembered a great place that I did a wedding once, and what luck, the best room at the lodge is open and we're going! In two weeks! Ahhh! So excited!

It's two hours away and in the middle of nowhere, which I'm very happy about :)

Here are some photos!

THIS IS OUR ROOM! AHHHH!  YAY YAY!

it's dorky, but I'm most excited about the bathroom :)

Updates...

What a week/weekend!  My parents were here, Kate was here, and we had a great time.  We grilled out, I made lemon pasta, and for dessert we had strawberry & rhubarb pie and apple crumb cake.  Oooh so good.

Today I'm attempting to pick up all the pieces and put my life back into some sort of normalcy.  I have a lot to get done before I head to Indy on Wednesday or Thursday (haven't decided yet) for Crystal and Matt's wedding.

I've done the laundry & dishes, picked up the house, and put away everything but I have a lot of work-related things still to do.  I went to Starbucks today and got A LOT done, but there's still more, of course.  I'm hoping I get tons done today and tomorrow- it's possible!

Here's one thing off my list- cute little 5x5 cards for Crystal & Matt's wedding- I'l put them next to their guestbook so guests can see all the images.  :)

Off I go!

4th of July

Happy 4th!

Today we're celebrating by relaxing.  My mom and dad are here and we're just enjoying the awesome weather.  Kate is coming over later and we'll be grilling out and I'll be making lemon pasta.  Life is good, friends! :)

Guests!

After being home only a few short days, we're having company- my parents!

They haven't seen our new place, so I'm excited to have them come up for the 4th of July.  There is lots going on here and I'm glad I finally get to show them around our adorable little town.  Plus Kate is coming up on Saturday to grill out with us- yay!  I'm also gon

na make lemon pasta again- soooo good!

Anyway, I am frantically cleaning and getting everything ready.  It's hard to believe how messy and dirty this place gets so fast.  I can't ever keep up.

Aaaand, I get to pick up Frankie from the vet today!  Poor kitty has

 been there since Friday.  He got to come home just for the night last night and then I had to bring him back to continue his IV fluid treatment.  But now he should be all good and I can't wait to have all my family back together :)

Other than cleaning and getting ready, I have a lot of things to edit, design and work on.  I really hope that after the holiday I can get back into gear, but next weekend I'll be in Indianapolis for a wedding so there goes my schedule again... one day it'll be back to normal... right?

On an ending note, I saw this ceremony shot this weekend and loved it (minus the horses) and think that maybe instead of renting chairs, we could do this!  I think it's adorable and perfect for the setting/theme.  :)
