5 on friday


Today's 5 on Friday is going to be a short one since I'm busy studying for finals and such, so let's get started!

 one. Thanks to everyone who weighed in on their opinions about which bag I should get last Friday. I ended up choosing . . . none of the options I posted. Well, sort of. I picked option two in color three:
From Target
two. My birthday is officially less than a month away! And I still have no clue what I'll be doing. Still open to party ideas . . . anyone have any? ;)

 three. Classes are over! And so, as I said, all I have to do over the next few days is take a few finals. I love it when semesters end :)

 four. Off to Seattle in less than a week! So excited to have a trip with my man, and so excited to go see some family! :) What are your recommendations for things we absolutely have to do while we're there? :)

 five. It's Easter weekend! We're excited to celebrate this weekend with some of Russ's family. Since my parents live like five minutes away, we spend a lot of holidays with them, but since Russ's parents will be in town, we'll be spending Easter with them and with Russ's siblings that live nearby :) Also, I think we'll be doing our first Easter baskets! Though neither of us has done any shopping for the other yet . . . So we'll see if that actually happens. But either way, 

 Happy Easter! And Happy Friday, too :)

      Haha yes, Target is my new love affair, and I blame all of my blogger friends who always make Target out to be Heaven or something :)

      So glad you found me, too! :) I love making new blog friends!

    Hi - visiting from the link-up! We're headed to Seattle later this year too! I've never been before but Pike Place Market (www.pikeplacemarket.org) is at the top of our list - looks like such a fun place to spend a day! Happy Easter!!

      Thanks! I love it too. I finally transferred my stuff into the new purse yesterday, and I spent all day glancing over to wherever the purse was and smiling, because I love it! :) And I'll post about everything we do, but it might not be much since it's more of a family visit than a tourist visit, but I'm sure we'll do a thing or two that is tourist-y and exciting :)

our first murder mystery

Image
A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

5 on friday

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

it's a love story {part 5}

This series is turning into a novel! So if you don't want to read  part 1 ,  part 2 ,  part 3 , or  part 4 , I wouldn't blame you. But if you do, there you go :) Part Five - First Date . . . or Second? When we last left off, Russ and I were finally interacting more and we both knew that we liked each other. But he still hadn't asked me on a date! But sometime in early December, he finally remedied that. On a Thursday, he asked me if I would go stargazing with him on the coming Sunday evening. I was super excited :) But in the meantime, he kind of asked me on a different first date, but I didn't really know it. He texted me on Saturday morning, asking if I wanted to go on "a walk" with him. Fully loving every minute spent with him, I readily agreed! But let's be clear--it wasn't a walk. It was a hike. Which isn't a big deal, except that hiking through rocky places requires different shoes than those used to walk on the nicely paved sidew
