Is today Monday? Ever since I moved to my new house I have given up the power of sleeping well. I sleep, until I dream of zombies or until Chloe hears a noise and we all jump off the bed and do a freak out dance. Yep… pretty positive it’s Monday… which means it’s a-ok in blogland to do a weekend recap right?

Here we go!

Friday night we found ourselves a little over involved with the glitter. I am just now realizing that my wedding is not nearly as far away as it appears on the calendar. As I age, my knees ache a bit more and I begin to move a bit slower… but time seems to triple its speed every year. Even though my wedding appears to be months away, now that I have turned 29, I am practically only 17 minutes and thirty-two seconds from walking down that aisle. So I better get working on all the little details I have in mind. Good thing I had Chloe’s help… {And how incredibly terrific are these clothes pins? A tutorial on their awesome-ness will be available soon!}

Saturday started off early. I am bartering a month-of wedding planning package for yard work. I had the groom (soon to be cousin-in-law) and a couple others drive up from North Carolina to turn my jungle into a backyard. What do you think?

I love the fact that I don’t feel like I’m in the movie Honey, We Shrunk the Kids when I step into the backyard now. Huge plus.

Saturday night I was lucky enough to get another Birthday Present! One of my dear JMU friends, Caitlyn, bought me a ticket to see the Avett Brothers! We met for dinner, where I enjoyed a Dark & Stormy (one of my all time faves when made with Goslings) and then headed to the show.

Unfortunately, the walk to the venue was simply tragic. Imagine the one person (or thing) that is always there for you… She wakes up next to you and goes to bed next to you. She helps you when you’re lost. She helps you stay current with your chores (such as maintaining your farm). She tells the world your secrets, only when you want her to.

Imagine such a friend.

Then shatter her into a million pieces.

That is what happened to my iPhone. On the concrete. In a gross parking garage. Where I saw someone peeing next to my car later that evening.

The photo really does not do the phone cracks justice. She still works, but she is in “spiderweb mode” now. My sister had to use my phone today and actually said “I’ve seen cracks before - but never like this!” (Assuming she was talking about my phone and not my new shorts…)

But the show must go on! And so it did! We danced, we jammed, we hopped and sang… we had a good ole time and as we drowned our iPhone-less sorrows in live music.

I suppose the weekend is not complete without Sunday!

My Sunday was relaxing. I slept in, as much as I possibly could considering my body passionately dislikes sleep. Then I chatted a bit with Michael who is still stationed in Japan. I realized that my Bridal Shower is coming up and that our wedding registry needed a little work so I spent some quality time in Target. (Never a problem.)

I wrapped up the evening at one of my new friends’ home. We sat on her back deck, drank wine, ate the most scrumptious store bought, frozen pizza I have ever eaten, and watched the birds. (The ones in her backyard… not the movie.) It was quite a great way to end a great weekend… cracked iPhone and all.

Hope y’all had the loveliest of lovely weekends! Until next time…
