Happy Birthday, Lucas!

There will be no hump day today because I much rather make a post about a really important little guy in my life. Today is my nephew’s 3rd birthday! I can’t even begin to describe how much this kid means to me – I never thought I could love a little person so much. I can’t imagine how it will feel when I have my own child. And I cannot believe how quickly time has gone by. I vividly remember the day my sister announced to the family that she was 3 months pregnant – and now Lucas is getting ready to start Pre-K next month!

I can’t wait to share countless memories with him as he grows up and I hope to be someone that he feels he can always count on and lean on for any kind of support. He is an amazing little guy and I know one day he will accomplish great things. I hope I can be there every step of the way to cheer him on. Tonight we’ll be celebrating with immediate family and this Saturday will be his birthday bash at Cool-de-Sac before heading to Disney for a week! He’s one lucky little dude!

I love you, Lucas. With all my heart.

Weekend Highlights!

It’s pretty apparent we have welcomed summer here in South Florida – it’s been muggy, humid and disgusting outside. And nothing says summer quite like a pool party complete with BBQ! My friend, Adam, decided to do just that for his birthday on Saturday and we had such a great time. As always, hanging out with the AgencyNet gang was super fun and I got to break out my new bikini from Forever 21! Unfortunately, I got a little heavy handed with the booze and ended up having a classy moment at a Wafflehouse later that evening. Oops! I hope that as the summer continues we can keep rocking the pool parties – I should test out our community’s pool area, maybe I’ll throw one of my own! 😉

true-blood-01

Sunday brought a serious case of the hangover, which was only made worse by its pairing with school work as well as work-work. Bleh. Fortunately, I was rewarded later that night with the True Blood premiere! We went to James’ home and watched it together with a group of friends. To all fellow fans, how great was that opener? I can’t wait to see how this season plays out – it looks like it is going to be amazing! Augi has already promised to set up HBO at home so we don’t miss a moment! I plan on picking up a Merlotte’s shirt to wear to Comic-Con next month – gotta show my support, afterall 😉

Weekend Highlights

Is it me or do the weekends seem to get shorter and shorter as time goes by?
I find myself gripping on to Sunday’s, hoping that they will never end, but fail.

Also irritating?
The fact that the weather has decided to be unbearably beautiful on weekdays and overcast & yucky on weekends. What’s up, Mother Nature?

I got the opportunity to swing by IKEA Friday afternoon to check out their patio furniture & was bummed to see a lot of the items I posted about last week either would not work or were out of stock (already!). Thankfully, I was able to mix & match some fun pieces I found and am super happy with the way it all panned out. Our patio is still not complete, but it is well on its way! For those of you interested in this look, it is made up of a Bollo folding table, 4 Marius stools in orange, 2 Majallby scented candles, Solig fly swatter and Solig solar operated lighting in white. Also, something that I didn’t pick up but thought was amazing was the Platta decking system, which has the power to turn any patio from blah to chic in two quick snaps! Unfortunately, I don’t know how smart that would be for us Floridians considering we would have to be removing & replacing the pieces with every hurricane threat. I wonder if there is a way to anchor them down?

Happy Birthday(s).

Today is a pretty awesome day.
Why?
Well first off, it’s 3/11 and everyone knows I love me some 311. Secondly, it’s my mother’s birthday and lastly, it is my brother-in-law’s birthday! That’s right. My mother and brother-in-law share the same birthday. The back story is pretty hilarious – ask me about it sometime 😉

These two people have made a pretty lasting impression on my life so I deemed it only appropriate to dedicate my blog post to them both today.
