Relief & Anticipation

I just love Fridays.
They're always filled with such relief and anticipation.

Relief that the work week is almostttt over.
And anticipation that the weekend is ahead.

This weekend, I'm looking forward to:
Friday night dinner in Loma with the Mister
Celebrating Erin's Birthday
Spending Saturday in Newport with good friends
A new sermon series at church
Seeing my sister's boyfriend in the Sound of Music
Hanging out with my family
The fact that this could be Jeremiah's last weekend of studying
Five and a half hours of LOST

What are you looking forward to?

Why ya smiling?

94.1 does a bit on Friday mornings called "Why ya smiling?"
It's pretty self-explanatory.
Listeners call in and tell AJ why they're smiling.

So why am I smiling?

I got to have dinner with a dear friend of mine last night
We got free dessert - mmm
I found exactly what I was looking for at the fabric store
The project I'm working on is turning out half-way decent
Bill brought donuts this morning
It's sunny outside
I'm looking forward to a few things this weekend
And... It's Friday!

Happy Friday, Blogosphere

This weekend I'm looking forward to

getting some chores done
working out
watching Tuesday's episode of Glee
sewing, crafting and card making
getting a pedicure
spending time with Jeremiah and my sister
and relaxing

What about you?

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ussher

We loved celebrating with Ben and Jenna last night!

Thought I'd share a few pictures
of their beautiful wedding at The Grand Tradition
oh, the memories :)

McDougal and his little one waiting for the ceremony to start
The Bridal Party all lined up and ready to get the show on the road
Adorable Ring Bearer and Flower Girl
Ben's face as he watched his bride come around the lake
Gotta love the carriage
Here comes the bride
Mmm.. beautiful
The Vows - so beautifully written
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ussher
The oh-crap,-we-haven't-taken-a-picture-yet picture
Definitely should have done that earlier in the night
Two words: Photo Booth.
Ben and Jenna,
Thanks for inviting us to share in the party,
the absolutely delicious food,
and the great time with friends.
We hope you have an awesome time in Hawaii!

b & j

These two cuties are getting married this afternoon.
And I can't wait to celebrate with them.


Happy Friday to all!

Thanks, Boss.

What happens when the boss tells you to go home early on Friday

Four Words

Thank God it's Friday!

Happy Friday!

Sweet, sweet Friday
how I've dreamed of you for the past several days

I feel prettiest...
when my hair is curled or straight
when my face is gently kissed with freckles
when I'm wearing mascara
when my jeans cover my ever-growing love handles
and when..

It's Friday!

Some Friday Inspiration

In my craft room, the one that only exists in my head, I want lockers like this. Definitely to store wrapping paper, but also to house cubbyholes for all my embellishments.
And one day I want to make a nightstand like this one:

And let it live at the end of our bed like this:

And these, well these are just two pretty pictures that made my morning extra magical.

Happy Friday!
