Saturday, I love you.

I love breakfast. I used to not be that big of a fan, but as I’ve grown older I’ve grown very fond of it. I especially love breakfast for dinner. So good. 

On another note, the past few days have been long & very frustrating. But so far this weekend is wonderful, and I am looking forward to going to seeing The Great Gatsby tonight with a friend. Been waiting very patiently for this movie to come out, so I’m pretty excited! :)

Five Things

Here are five things that are currently making me smile. Hope your week is off to a great start!

1. Walks around the lake with my hubs. Exercise + Quality time + Being Outdoors = Happy Girl.

2. Dresses that I find at Target for only $12. Thank you, sale rack.

3. Sleeping in and relaxing on Saturday mornings.

4. Drinking coffee & reading teen fiction. Because my inner fifteen year old needs it.

5. Bowls of cereal with fresh berries. So yum.

Blah blah blah

Last Friday I was battling a particularly strong case of blahness. I was in this rut where my mood was “blah.” My clothes felt “blah.” My hair felt “blah.” These are the moments that I am most susceptible to impulsiveness (fighting the urge to go buy new clothes and/or chop off my hair). So I decided to fight these feelings by mixing things up. I threw on my husband’s glasses (which I have now officially adopted to be own. Thanks hubs!), tossed my hair up into a messy topknot, and put on some bold lipstick. Sometimes it’s just necessary to have a little fun & play around! Later that night Ryan and I went out to dinner with friends & went to a comedy show fundraiser. Made for a fun Friday night out. Laughter is the best medicine. :)

Hope your Friday is wonderful. ♥

Lunch date.

I love lunch dates with my hubby. Of course, I love date “nights” as well. But there is just something really wonderful about spending the day together exploring a new part of town and grabbing lunch together. This particular day we went to old town San Juan Capistrano, which has a cute historic district with lots of fun restaurants and shops. Ryan had been down there before, but this was my first time. Such a cute part of town! We walked around and checked out a few shops & thrift stores, and had pizza for lunch (because sometimes a girl just needs some pizza). 

Feeling really thankful & blessed lately, and so enjoying where I’m at in my life right now. Looking forward to many great adventures with this cute boy.

Laguna Beach

Last Saturday our dear friends Justin & Valerie came and spent the day with us here in Orange County. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and had lunch in Laguna Beach, and then walked around the little downtown village & walking trail near the ocean. The views were incredible. As the sun began to go down we found a bench, relaxed, and watched the sunset. I love these kinds of days. So life-giving.
