embark on new adventures

I am so glad it's FRIDAY! send praises. And better than that. Today marks the last day of dreaded January!! eek I really hate that month, at least we made it. So I am really looking forward to our weekend plans! Sometimes the weekdays are hard because Nate gets home around 7 and then I have to be at school from 8-10:30. Safe to say we are both feeling a little deprived of eachothers time and I'm excited to spend tonight with just HIM.

I love our cozy apartment lately

We went bowling for this darling 7 year olds B-day.



they act so much alike i think



My only goal in bowling is to get to the 100 point mark.



Love these fun girls



Shopping for mamas birthday with my favorites

a few hidden gems.

Today I was searching for ONE specific photo that I can NOT find anywhere. ugh. I hate losing stuff. But in the process I did find some photos that I had completely forgotten about! I love that about photos.
 and that is why I will continue to take a million for the rest of my life. I love that you can snap a photo so quick and not think twice about it. And then a few months or even years later you go back and look at that photo and it means a  whole lot more.

draggin'

Listen, I know it doesn't change anything to complain but.. I'm just really wishing January was over by now. It's draggin you know what. Things are busy hectic but it still has to be the most monotonous month ever. I'm ready to get away. The thing that is keeping me going is the fact that Nate and I may or may not be planning a pretty awesome vacation for summer time. Warm weather can not come fast enough. I'm being a debbi downer. and I'm okay with it.

Nate took me to lunch yesterday, he's the best.

Sunday dinner!

I wanted just ONE good picture. that was too too much to ask. ha!

I LOVE this thing. So nerdy but so fun. I wish I could get away with wearing it everywhere.

Nate got me a new pair of my old leopard shoes. Make sense?

Sassy.
