Happy Friday, y’all! Welcome to the weekend. This week was such a good one since it started out in Charleston. I honestly think Charleston is my favorite city in America – David would agree that that is SO white girl basic, but honestly, it’s just SO CUTE, CHARMING, and UPLIFTING. I LOVE walking the streets, people watching and “house hunting” (pretending, of course). David and I haven’t decided where to go for our 5 year anniversary in May yet and I might rally for Charleston again. haha The trip was great, too, because I got to hang out with bloggers that I’ve known forever via the world wide web, but never met in person. I think that’s been the best part about blogging is the people I’ve met and friendships I’ve made along the way… that’s probably all of life though, right? The people make the place and the journey 🙂

David and I had a low key Valentine’s day and went to Botega for dinner. I got there at 5:00 to grab a table and we ended up with one of the best seats in the house. Afterwards, we came home, ate some Reese’s, drank some champagne, and watched 500 days of summer – a movie neither of us had seen. It was a great Valentines. I hope no matter what you did or who you were with your day was a little sweeter than normal. With the events of Florida recently, I think we could use a few more days that celebrate love.

This weekend David is OFF and I am HOME for the first time in 3 weekends. So I’m really excited about it! We have some friends coming in town and are planning to have a low key weekend. I hope yours is a relaxing one and thank you, as always, for reading this blog. Cheers, y’all!

celebrating my nephew, Wilson’s second birthday tomorrow

What a week, and welcome to Friday everyone. Fall is slowly starting to appear in Birmingham and I couldn’t be happier about it. My nephew Wilson is turning two this weekend so my parents and brother are coming up to stay with me and celebrate Wilson. I know people say that time flies but kids really do show you just how fast. It seems like every time I turn around he is saying or doing something new.

I loved this week because I unpacked from all the trips and just enjoyed finally being put at home. I kind of hope I don’t take any more trips until 2018 and just enjoy being in one place. Home is truly my favorite spot in the world. My own coffee, my own bed, my own Nilla and David haha. I’m ordering fall candles and making some changes to make this place really feel like a home. For a while there it really felt like we were living in someone else’s house. Has that ever happened to you if you’ve moved? Just the little quirks of the stove and the doors, etc. But I’m finally starting to feel like this IS actually our HOME. And it’s the best feeling ever…

What are you up to this weekend? Pumpkin patch going? Carving pumpkins? Hay rides? Whatever it is I hope it’s so much fun and thank you so much for reading!
