Weekend Relaxation

... enjoying a peaceful afternoon at a friend's pool.

It actually is starting to cool down a little... maybe?

Ahh... it was so beautiful and I am so grateful to have the time and place to do so.

Felt like I was on a vay-cay!

Isn't this amazing... The Hydrangea Cake!

I love hydrangeas but never would have thought of a Hydrangea Cake!!

Today I turn 23. Wow. I feel like yesterday I was turning 7 at my Barbie themed birthday party, also the same day of my first day of first grade!

 Time really does fly by.

I want to thank everyone who has made this day so special, you mean everything to me!

I am so greatful for all of the amazing people in my life and it wouldn't be the same without you!

Here is a picture of the cake and card Ruthie (my 2 year old niece) made my over the weekend. She is the best!

Chocolate, of course!

Add a Little Color...

I went into Nashville's new "Paper Source" today and came across some super cute items to add a little color to your life!

Check out these Paperclips...

How cute and fun are these?

Everyone needs something to brighten up their day!

I had a great time picking up some specialty gift wrap and assorted cards.

Tonight is the Night

Tonight is the night!!!

Train and Maroon 5. In Nashville.

CAN'T WAIT.

I am super excited for this concert but also have my thoughts and prayers with Gavin DeGraw at this time as he is recovering from being attacked in NYC last week.

At this point DeGraw is expected to re-join the tour August 24th in Columbia, Maryland for the last of his three dates on the tour.

Great Advice

Found this online...

Some great advice to live by!
