Weekend Update!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!  We had a productive weekend and made a lot of progress on our "Carson To-Do" list!  We signed him up for daycare (I can't believe I already wrote his first tuition check), painted his nursery, ordered his crib, and ordered his curtains!  I love his daycare.  We visited a few and this one was my favorite for sure so I'm glad they'll have a spot for him in August!  Also, his nursery is finally starting to come together and I'm so excited!  Once we get the crib (expected to arrive this week), I'll put up some before and after pics!

This past week I came home to a "just because" gift from the hubby - a beautiful orchid!  Nick has really been awesome lately.  I have NO idea why he bought this for me, but I love it (and I'm scared of killing it).  He also mopped our kitchen and vacuumed our family room over the weekend which says a lot if you know him!  ;)  I didn't even ask him, he just took it upon himself.  Back to the orchid.  The directions say to feed her 3 ice cubes per week.  Weird, right?  Anyone have an orchid that would like to give me some advice so I don't kill mine?!

Also, I received another blog award!  You all make me feel so loved!  This time my award came from the lovely Sara at Smiling in Second Grade. 

I'm going to nominate Allie at Table for More for this award.  She always leaves me the sweetest comments and I'm SUPER sad she moved away from my hometown - booo!!!  Come back, Allie!  If you haven't yet, check out both of these awesome blogs!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm linking up with Jamie today for WILW!

I'm loving that in 3 days, I will be on my way to sunny, relaxing Sedona, AZ! 

I'm loving that tonight I get to spend some time with my friend Kristin and her super cute son, Austin.  Seriously, he's such a cutie, I can't stand it!

I'm loving that Rice Krispie TREATS cereal is back!  I resisted the urge to buy this but I'm still really excited about it.  It's the little things....

I'm loving that some opportunities for next school year are finally arising.  To read more about it, check out my post from yesterday here.

I'm loving that we had a very fun and successful bridal shower and bachelorette party for my friend, Kelli, this past weekend!  [New post with pictures coming soon!]

I'm loving that my gardens are looking quite pretty as of lately!  

Backyard lily garden :)

Front garden....still waiting on snapdragons to bloom!

Sorry, Mr. Mailman....I promise to transplant this fall!

New hydrangea bushes from the hubby!

My stargazer is blooming finally! [These were our wedding flowers.]

As always, I'm loving my wonderful husband and our two fur babies, Chip and Dixie!

Super cuddly when I woke up early one morning :)
