A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

 

 Happy Friday! Don't you all just love this quote? I had pinned this quote awhile ago, and while going through my Pinterest boards, realized that it is actually purchasable (if that's not a word, I just made it up) on Etsy! The shop is Parisma Creative Studio and it has a ton of great prints. As I start decorating the walls in my house, I might have to buy this or this or this!

Have a great weekend - I'm off to Indianapolis for a little reunion with some of my sorority sisters. So excited to see them!

PEACE OUT!

Wheeeeeeee it's the weekend!!!! At the beginning of the week, I planned on staying around Nashville and enjoying what is supposed to be a sunny and rain-free Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday my mom called me to see what I thought about coming home since both Jane and Peter are home and it's rare that we are all together. Not to mention, Illinois is hosting the men's tennis NCAA championship this weekend and as a former Illinois tennis groupie (more on that another time), it's pretty much necessary I go. So I'm headed off to the wonderful Champaign for the weekend!  And can I just say - I love that I can just drive home for a random weekend and it's not a huge ordeal!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend doing fun things!

FRIDAY, FRIDAY.

Hooray it is FRIDAY! I feel like this week just sped by, which is always a happy thing. It's probably because I had a few fun things throughout the week - my parents came in town Wednesday and we did a little birthday dinner at The Southern and my friends and I did a little shopping last night. And now it's Friday!!! Do ya'll have wonderful plans for this weekend? I hope whether it's relaxing and watching a movie or taking a fun trip, you all have a fab Saturday and Sunday!

I am headed to Oxford, Mississippi for Double Decker weekend at Ole Miss. Double Decker is a huge arts festival on the Oxford Square with tons of live music, good food and original art. There is typically a baseball game over the weekend, which is a really fun time as well - Ole Miss has a great fan base. Since Patrick and I haven't been there since OCTOBER (seems like forever), both of us are super excited. Him more than me, most likely, since that is his alma mater and all... but what can I say, Oxford holds a special place in my heart :) 

FINALLY FRIDAY

WHEW. Is anyone else as excited as me to see this week come to a close and the weekend finally be here?! After a long week at work and that awful Indiana loss last night, I'm pretty darn ready to close the door on Monday through Friday. And since I wasn't home last weekend, I am so excited to sleep in in my own bed, finally get things done like going to the grocery, running much needed errands and making happy little valentines for friends! Sunday brings another IU game, hopefully with a win this time, and my first hockey game! Yeeeeeee I am so ready! Have a great weekend all! 

WAIT, IS IT SPRING?

Something absolutely wonderful has happened here in Nashville.

It feels like SPRING. I'm talking 70 degrees, wind blowing and that new spring, flowers are coming up kind of smell. It. Is. Amazing. Talk about the perfect way to start the weekend. Now I know my happiness will be short-lived because in true winter form, it will become cold and gray in a few days, but for now I am going to love on this warm weather and go on a walk (maybe even run?) and have my windows open and sleep with a nice breeze. 

Is it 5:00 yet? I'm ready to get a cocktail on a patio :) Happy Friday everyone!

Hooray for Friday!

I hope you all have wonderful, fun plans for this weekend! I'll be somewhere in ATL celebrating St. Patrick's Day, watching the HOOSIERS play at 7:10 PM on Saturday (Go IU!!!!!), and hopefully kicking Patrick's butt in a lot of Crazy 8's and Speed card games :) See you Monday!!!
