the cutest personalized needlepoint from the fabulous Belle Reed
a heartwarming birthday gift from David’s mom – completing my gold flatware set that matches my china
The best mail package – Gigi asking to me to stand by her side on the happiest day of her life
the most beautiful blue hydrangeas from my guy
adding cinnamon to my coffee grounds every morning – it’s seriously SO. GOOD. And sipping from this cute mug – “my bestie is better than the restie”
the weekly David and Nilla cuddle pic – “we’ll miss you dad”
If David could add a caption to the David and Nilla cuddle picture it would be: “don’t get hair on my suit.” I should have sent David on the plane with the lent roller that came in that fabulous bridesmaid’s box from Gigi. How fun was that package? Not only is it pink with gold lettering by Maggie that I’ll keep and USE forever, it was full of fun bridesmaids-y things and complete with a sweet card. Such a fun surprise way to ask someone to be a bridesmaid and I am already counting down the days until September 30th!
David left yesterday for his first interview for a GI fellowship. He’s basically going on another “tour of America” like he did almost 3 years ago. It’s so exciting and a bit nerve racking all at the same time. No matter what, I’m so proud of the doctor and man that he is. How did I get so lucky? I keep telling him that I could live anywhere with him and as long as I have Nilla and the Internet I’ll be juuuuuuust fine.
What are y’all up to this weekend? I really wanted to go to NYFW and was ecstatic to get an invite to the reward style party. But as the interviews trickle in I think one MORE trip is just not in the cards right now. And that’s ok. I’m reliving the fun trip there with my mom and sis and really looking forward to a weekend of painting for some fun upcoming Interior posts. Speaking of – did y’all see on snapchat (LC_Steele) that the college kids across the street took their balcony down!? AKA the lawn chair on the roof! haha I asked them why and they said the police came by to let them know that beer and chairs on the roof weren’t a good idea. Who would’ve thunk it! haha
Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend and thank you so much for reading!

awww. Best of luck to David. I don’t know why but seeing a pic of him in his suit with Nilla is just oh so heart warming.
