Today is one of my favorite days of the year... My BIRTHDAY!! It's my last year in my twenties and I can hardly believe it! I remember being a little girl and thinking that 30 sounded so old, and that I would be so mature and have it all figured out by then. Now it's a year away and I still don't feel close to having it all together- ha! I certainly don't feel old either ;)

To celebrate, I headed to Raleigh last night with some of my girls for a fun weekend! We've got lots of brunch, wine, and relaxing planned & I can't wait! If you need me I will be laughing, dancing, and toasting to the brand new year of my life and all the excitement and hope it ushers in!

Weekending x 2 + Dressing Room Snaps!

Happy Monday friends! I can't believe I'm still playing catch-up from all my travels, so today I thought we could catch up together and I'll share what I've been up to lately! Just for an extra dose of Monday fun, I'm also tossing in some recent fitting room pictures (because when I travel... I shop! #souvenirs)

{HOUSTON}

I was so excited to jet off to Houston for my birthday weekend! I've never been and my gal pal Katie moved there about 4 months ago so It was about time I visited. We both got in Friday afternoon and kicked off the weekend with drinks at Julep which had the tastiest craft cocktails! Yummy!

Currently Obsessing Over... {v. 64}

Happy Fri-YAY y'all!! I couldn't be more excited that the weekend is here! This week has run me pretty ragged- recovering from all my travel was no joke- and with work kicking my booty I need serious relaxation stat! Tonight I'm going to be celebrating "YOLO Friday" and cheers-ing to the freakin' weekend- how about y'all?

So what did I find time to obsess over this week? So glad you asked...

Make a Wish for 26!

Y'all! I'm kind-of having a nervous breakdown over the fact that I turned 26 today... when did that happen? I feel like just yesterday I was driving on my own at 16, voting in my first election at 18, and having my first cocktail at 21... and now I hit 26?!

Life has thrown me a lot of curveballs in my 25th year, but as I look at 26 and all the joys it is sure to bring, I can't help but feel that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. The Lord has brought me to a sweet space of love, comfort and hope that His plans are much great greater than my own- the most reassuring feeling that there could be. Each time he entrusts me with even a small piece of his picture I am humbled at his goodness- I cannot wait for the adventure of this year!

To celebrate the big Two-Six I had a fun dinner last night with all some of my favorite girls! I know I have mentioned these lovies several times before, but these girls are seriously some of the biggest blessings in my life. Each of their friendships brings me such joy and fun - I just love sharing life with them! Thank you to these wonderful ladies for sharing this special celebration with me- I love each of you dearly!
