Lovely Little Weekend

This weekend was wonderful. 

Friday consisted of Bens last day here in Utah before he flew to Malaysia for the summer. 

I will miss this kid. 

 

Saturday was an early morning because I worked the Cancer Wellness House booth for Race for the Cure. 

6:30 a.m. is REALLY early especially when you go to bed at 2.. (I normally get 8 hours MINIMUM but it was for a good cause so I can't complain) 

 My favorite sign from the morning.

 My cute little worky shirt

This moment of the race, when all the survivors walk, literally gave me chills. It was an indescribable feeling and it brought tears to my eyes. I just stood in awe with how strong and resilient people are.

Sunday was mothers day. I didn't take any pictures but we enjoyed a lovely breakfast with my sweet mom. I love her dearly and am so blessed to have her in my life. She has taught me what love is. 

hope you had a lovely weekend!

Bridesmaid Brunch

Saturday was the first of many wedding festivities. 

I hosted a bridal brunch to formally ask all my bridesmaids to be in the wedding. 

I sent them a darling invitation via www.postmark.com that invited them to tea, crepes, and an afternoon of merriment. 

Thanks to my parents, Brian, and Stacey for cooking and helping with the set up!

 We enjoyed a crepe bar, waffles, and assortment of fruit

I made the menu from a picture frame found at the DI and painted with "chalk paint" from the craft store. Super easy and adds a fun touch! 

 Table setting for each bridesmaid. 

I found the darling "Will you be my bridesmaid cards" at weddingchicks.com (lots of free printables and super adorable.) 

 I love mason jars. I have them all over my house. 

For these I went to the DI (of course!) and stocked up on mason jars and glued a lace trim on them! Super fun way to add some unique touches to the jars!

After the wedding we headed south to Krabi. 

It was GORGEOUS.

I had the most relaxing 4 days ever ( I may have gotten a massage every day....)

I want to go back already. 

Thailand Part 1

Thailand was AMAZING. 

I loved being in a completely different culture. It truly is incredible to be somewhere you've never been.

The flight was KILLER...24 hours. But so worth it. 

Struggled with the food..but that was a given. 

Made me eager to travel the world even more. 

I realized while I was there just how big the world really is.
