High Five for Friday | Link up

Happy Friday! Yesterday was my 30th birthday! I don't feel 30, I usually still feel like I should be 23, but apparently that is not the case. Just ask me that after a night of staying out past 11 pm, 30 feels 30 the next morning fo 'sho.

1. We officially have unpacked all the boxes we will be unpacking. We have put some that are not needed in this smaller space down in our storage area in the basement. But pictures and clocks are hung, Sparty is on the wall, so it's officially home! 





2. Did some work on some wedding stuff. December is going to be here so fast, our wedding is obviously kind of winter-esque hence the snowflakes. It's crazy to be thinking about snowflakes in August, but here we are.



3. I enjoy cooking, especially soups! It was kind of a dark and stormy day in Michigan on Tuesday so I cooked up some Taco Soup! So good and filling!


4. My mom and I went to have a meeting with the bakery that is going to do the cupcakes for the wedding in December. Samples are the bomb, even though we had an idea of what we wanted. Luckily, we don't have to finalize until the beginning of December  because we want to try the fall/winter flavors when they come out in September! So excited to have another vendor finalized! 

5. On my actual birthday, C and I went kayaking up in Mt. Pleasant on the Chippewa River (a blog post on this in the coming weeks). It was a great 6.5 mile trip, that took us just under 2 hours. It was beautiful, and I wish we were able to kayak like 3 times a week. 



Some of the lovely and peaceful views on the river.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Happy 4th of July friends! The summer is flying by and I have no idea what to do about it! Here are the highlights from another week!

1. We had our first wedding shower! It was hot, but the sun was shining and tons of family came out - everyone was much too generous. It was great to see everyone and we are so lucky to have so many people who want to celebrate with us!

2. My future brother and sister in law gifted us these amazing michigan cookie cutters! I love my home state, and am so excited to now own these! A giant thank you to them!

3. My mom and I did some wedding dessert recon on Wednesday. We went to a local bakery in Lansing, Whipped, and got these beauties to try. They have delicious flavors such as: cookies and cream, key lime, orange-pineapple and chocolate peanut butter. so. good.

4. I kind of took an unplanned hiatus from reading for the two weeks I was in Florida. Since I have been back I have finished three books, including the second one in the MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood. It was SO good!

5. While helping my parents clean out their polebarn, I stumbled upon this ADORABLE picture of my sister and myself. It is fun to see how much her children look like her (and apparently me as well)!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend, and I will see you back here on Monday with Weekly Wrap-Up from FMS Photo A Day!
