I absolutely love Fridays...

There is a feeling that it brings; a feeling unlike any other day of the week. It's a combination of anticipation and relief, sort of like the feeling you get on the last day of school. Yes, that's it. Fridays are like a mini last-day-of-school and I just love them. Oliver & I get to spend two full days with Poppa, and my sister Toya always visits us on Friday evenings which means Oliver gets lots of love from his sweet auntie. Yes, Fridays are always fabulous in our little world.

The weather today is pleasantly warm in comparison to the heat we endured this past week. The windows in our tiny apartment are open to welcome the light breeze and Oliver is curled up on my chest enjoying a nap, giving me lots of time to catch up with the blogging world.

This week, Nick let me enjoy a quick shopping trip to Macy's and I picked up a few fabulous finds. These O'neall Everytime denim Walkshorts are quickly becoming my new b.f.f.

They are super light unlike most denim, perfect for summer, and the vintage wash gives a subtle nod to stonewashed jeans without looking tacky and outdated. Originally priced at $39.50, they were marked down to $24.99 but rang up at $19.99 and with my coupon, I paid just $12.99 for this awesomeness.  I just love them.





In other news, Nicholas and I may be renting a house in a few months when our lease ends, fingers crossed for it to work out. I am beyond excited at the thought of having so much space for Oliver to grow and learn and play. I am trusting God to work everything out for the best and also feeling very blessed with my beautiful perfect little boy and my loving husband. I'm feeling hopeful for this summer and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us.

Happy Friday blog world :)

weekend here I come.

It's Friday, it's Friday! :)

I can't believe it's already been a week since the new year began. Time is flying by and I feel a little lost. This past week, I passed the 24 weeks mark until my little guy is born. That blows me away. I've been trying to read books and research all the things I feel I need to be aware of prior to the little guys arrival, but a lot of things just make me feel even more nervous and apprehensive. I think the plan from here on is to just rely on my doctor for information, and read a few good books on the specific birthing method I have chosen. So if you have some crazy horrific birth story, just give yourself a pat on the back for enduring it but no thanks, please don't share it. :)

Today is filled with potential since it is my day off. Yay! First of all, happy birthday Nessa! It's my sister's birthday. And second, my good friend Sammy promised to visit me today. I am super excited to see her since it's been quite a while since we last visited. I'm also feeling very creative so I may wind down later with a good project or my journal while I catch up with Oprah and Rachael Ray.

But, the day is young and who knows what sort of amazingness I can find my way into....
Have a wonderful weekend folks! :)
