5 on friday {things i'm looking forward to}


When I sat down to write this blogpost, all I could think about were all the things I need to be working on right now, but that didn't sound like a fun post. So instead, here are 5 things I'm looking forward to in the next few weeks and months of summer :)

one. Going to the movies tonight! It's the last night that my brother's family will be in town, so we're all going to see a free showing of How to Train Your Dragon 2. I'm mostly just excited to spend some time with the family . . . they've been here for two weeks, but I've really only been able to see them on weekends because I've been spending all day during the week working on sewing projects for my sewing classes! So anyway, I'm excited to actually see them all a little bit more before they leave!



two. End of term! Last day of classes is Monday and then I'll take my finals on Wednesday, and then I'll be FREE for the rest of the summer! :)



three. Anniversary celebration! Since I've been so busy with school this week, we didn't get to properly celebrate our anniversary. But we have some fun things planned for a few weeks from now! But I'll share about that later :)



four. Family reunion! Russ's family has family reunions every year. I love it because they're always fun, and I always get to see Russ's family! This year's reunion is on an island near Seattle (at least I think that's still the plan?). Here's hoping we can convince Mackenzi & Lance to join us all . . . ;)



five. Planning mini vacations with Russ this summer! Since I've been busy, we haven't had much time to discuss what we're doing this summer. But as soon as school is out, I'm excited to both plan and go on many weekend trips with my man :)



What are you looking forward to this summer?

Happy Friday! :)

      I liked it! I was a little late, and then a little distracted by cute nieces and nephews, but I did like it :) I need to watch them both again to gauge which I like better :)

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,

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
