mourning

currently mourning the loss of my favorite pair of sunglasses. they broke today. i hate this whole process. they were perfect. i have a small face, so therefor regular aviator sunglasses don't look right on me. they weren't expensive or super nice, but they fit me perfectly. so now, sans sunglasses (on the first sunny day in  forever), i have to go out and find them again. bye for now.

birthday week(end)

well today concludes my birthday week. it was everything a girl could wish for, dinner with the rents, date night with the hubby and mexican food with my gorgeous friends. i am so incredibly ((blessed)) to be surrounded by great people who continually pour out love and make you feel like you are worth a trazillion bucks. here are a few pics of some of the beautiful things i received.


 oh yes, there is one gift that won't be making an appearance until later this week. 2 reasons. one being, i am currently in my pj's sans make-up and this beauty has to be worn. two being,  i wore it with an a-mazing outfit and i need to re-create because i did not capture it on film.

how gorgeous is this?
