Birthday wishlist...

Every Birthday/Christmas/Anniversary my husband has me put together a list of the things that I am wanting the most at the moment. It might seem a tad presumptuous but, he really thinks I am doing him a great service. He can then choose which one he wants to get me! Here is my current wish *dream* list. Have I ever mentioned that I love birthdays?? 

1.) Louis Vuitton Eva in Damier. I love the versatility that this bag can be a casual across the body for days when you are out shopping maybe and don't want to carry a heavy load. Then it also functions great for a night on the town as a clutch with a handy gold chain for over the shoulder. 

2.) David Yurman Rose Quartz large albion ring. Love. love. love. 

3.) David Yurman classic blue topaz cable bracelet, 5mm. 

My list was super fun to make but, spending next weekend with my Grant is all the gift I really need at the end of the day. 

Taking my 25th Birthday West.

7 days and counting and this is where you will find me... Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica.  I turn 25 this Wednesday and my sweet husband has planned an amazing getaway to celebrate. Work is going to be so hectic this week as we make a big software switchover for all of our charting. I am so used to a 4-day work week and this week I'll be putting in *gasp* 5 days. With this trip to look forward to, nothing will get to me this week.

 Lounging poolside, shopping, dining...

 Here we come!

Home. sweet. Home.

Mother-in-law came over and took some photos of our in-process remodel job on our housey. I made dinner for the fam and love that these pictures capture some fun moments. 

Note: Please disregard the bunny ears. These pics were pre-cable installation. 

Long time. no blog.

I have been meaning to update for months. My blog has missed out on so many important events over the past few months. To name a few:

- AmAZing vacation to NYC to visit a dear friend/Boston/Kennebunkport, Maine over the 4th of July topped off with an appearance from my wonderful brother-in-law (and friend), Tyler. 

- The birth of my sweet nephew Jameson William. 

- An awesome office trip to Vail, Colorado. 

- Moving a lifelong friend and her husband to a new place. 

Does anyone else feel like life is passing them by before their eyes? I do. I sometimes wish it would slow down. Grant and I have so much we want to do. see. conquer. and it never feels like there is enough time. 1 1/2 has gone by since we have been married and it feels like mere seconds. I actually find it to be scary. 

Here are some brief snapshots that visually document the last few months. It feels so great to look back on them. 

NYC. 

Mr. and Mrs. Flannigan. Vespa ride around Kennebunk. 

The 4th.

These people really are like family. Like them all or not. Colorado trip.

Saved the best for last.
