Would you guys hate me if I posted this picture EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY? It makes me happy, but I’m willing to negotiate.
Next week at this time, I’ll be in SAN FRANCISCO! My sweet little Lauren is graduating from high school (WHAT THE HECK!!) and I’m so stoked to be around all of the people I love the very most. It’s been an incredibly rough month or so (and the storm keeps. raging. on. I. don’t. get. it.) and seeing the loves of my life has been the light at the end of the tunnel, the thing I have kept thinking about. and now it’s right around the corner!
MOVING ON.
Fridaaaayyyyyyy!!! Five things, okay?
My sweet friend Allie recently made a post of beautiful wallpapers based off of her favorite songs. Next week you’ll read more about it, but one of the songs is a song I’ve been singing a lot lately. Go check out her wallpapers, tell her I sent you and marvel in how lovely they are.
I was scrolling through my twitter feed when I saw River Maiden had posted pictures of coffee. and I got up and drove to River Maiden. Be forewarned, you’re about to see the same picture over and over.

Imagine how awesome my Monday was when I realized that River Maiden had used my picture on their social media! Just so you know this filename is rivermaidenmademehappy.jpg so that’s how awesome it was. I’m smitten like a kitten who is relaxing with some knittin’. I just made that up, you can borrow it if you want.
Last weekend we had this big annual basketball tournament at our church. My new plan is to insist that their team rosters have a spot for “cute, single guy who wants to talk to the youth pastor all weekend.” because seriously. My church was full of dudes, and even though I PRAYED for a cute Canadian to take an interest in me… nothing.
I digress.
After the Saturday night meeting some of my friends and I were standing around and someone (I think Alexis) said she wanted to go on a hike. and I agreed. and we talked about it, and I created a Facebook event called “Girls hike” (because while I wanted to talk to a cute Canadian, it’s more important for me to be poured into by my girl friends right now)… and it’s happening tomorrow. I’m just excited for all of it.
If you are a faith-based blogger, you should know that my friend Susannah (who is like ACTUALLY my friend, like I hung out with her yesterday) hosts a link up on Fridays called Faith & Fellowship. I’ll be linking up my Future|Past post, and I encourage you to hop over there as well!
Me and my bank account and my debt repayment journey would really appreciate it if Swoozie’s could just stop selling the cutest things in the entire world. Since it’s almost summer and the weather’s picking up and we all know that staying hydrated is important, I’m wondering how much longer I can hold out before I buy this water bottle. Also it’s my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY next week, so if anyone wanted to buy it for me, I’d wouldn’t hate it.
Happy weekending, everyone!
