Saying Goodbye...

 Along with all the stuff that is been going on in my life lately, I found out last week that my best friend is going to Singapore for 3 months. I am extremely happy for her and know that God is going to use her for His glory and to do incredible things. But at the same time, I can't help but be a little sad. Sarah and I have been through a lot together over the years: we've done a lot of traveling (including to Greece and Italy), we've tasted a lot of cupcakes, and shared a lot of adventures. But the bottom line is that we have been there for each other through the good and the bad. It's hard for me to think that I won't be able to meet up with her when I need to talk or want to do something on a whim. But it's just three months, and I know that this is what God has in the plans for both of us. 

Last night we got together for the last time before she leaves. We went out for Mexican and just sat talking for hours. It was really fun and I cherish every conversation that I have with her. 

I can't wait to see what this three months has in store for the both of us. I will be praying for this girl everyday and missing her like crazy! I can't wait to see how God uses her and I can't wait for the adventures that we will share when she gets back! 

Bon Voyage my dear! Love you!! 

Peace and Love,

Movie Night...

Life seems like it's moving at a million miles an hour lately so I was so happy that I got to spend some time with Sarah last night! A new movie theater just opened here and this week they were playing movies for $2! Yes, you read that correctly. Even food and drink was two bucks! Sometimes all a girl needs is a fizzy drink, a great friend, and Mr. Efron. 

Peace and Love,

A Day On The Shore...

 

 

  

Yesterday Sarah and I needed to skip town so we drove across the bridge and spent the day in St. Michael's. We took our time looking in all the little shops, scavenging for antiques, and even managed to find a cupcake shop along the way! I love these Summer day trips. Hopefully, there will be many more to come! 

Peace and Love,

Poolside...

Spent a lovely Summer day catching up with one of my best friends during a long overdue visit. Sitting by the pool and sipping on sweet tea just made it even better :) 

Ps. Loving the bit of blonde that I added to my hair this Summer.  

Peace and Love,

Surprise...

 It's always been on my bucket list to have a surprise party and now I can check that one off. What I thought was turning out to be a weird night out with a friend turned into a surprise 20th birthday party for me with all my closest gals. I don't know how they pulled it off but my sister and best friend had apparently been planning this for months. All I can say is that I truly was shocked! Every single detail was perfect! They had polka dot plates, my favorites drinks, cupcake balloons...everything! All I can say is that I am so thankful and blessed for the friends I have. I have to give a big thank you to Sarah and Maddie. I was so touched that they would go through all of that trouble just for me. It really made me see how much they care about me and what great people they are and how lucky I am to have them in my life. Thanks gals for a great party!    

   

Peace and Love,

Outtakes...

These girls finally met each other on Friday and I am so glad that they hit it off! I love them both so so much!

2 Things...

First of all, there's nothing cuter than when Mel crosses her legs when she is asleep! So darling! Lately she has really been living up to her nickname "Melly Mischief." She loves chewing on left over boxes and wrapping paper from Christmas.

Second, today is my best friend's birthday!! Sarah, I hope you have a wonderful birthday filled with love and fun. Thank you for being such a dear friend to me!

Peace and Love,

A Day At The Zoo With Cupcakes...

Sarah, Megan, Haylee, and I went to the DC zoo today! I haven't been there since I was really little but we had such a fun time. I was bummed that we went after all of the lights were taken down but getting to watch the pandas eat popsicles was pretty cool too! After we had walked around and seen everything we grabbed a bite to eat in Georgetown and then stopped by Georgetown cupcakes for some treats to take home. I am super excited to try my pumpkin spice cupcake!

Peace and Love,
