dearest high-waisted shorts,

i've been rocking the heck out of you this week. i hope you don't mind! i wasn't too sure about you when i bought you back in april but i'm so glad i did. this relationship is a beautiful one and will last a loooooong time! 

dearest dad,

dearest spartans,

dearest new readers,

hi. :) if you don't already link up with ashley, you should!

dearest friday's letters,

even though sometimes you are silly, it's easy to write you and you are therapeutic. 

have a wonderful weekend sweets. it's gonna be a beaut! 

you look like the fourth of julyyyyy

makes me want a hot dog reaaaal bad!

(love this movie)

this 4th of july was busy and fun-filled for sure.

the week started off heading to make meaning. it's like adult arts and crafts time and TOTALLY worth it (more to come on this in a later post, too many pictures)

on tuesday, my kiddies had a band show in Bristol, RI, the 4th of july celebration capital and it was fun! afterwards i had drinks with some old friends that were in the area and it was a blast. i laughed and giggled and it was pure bliss and the owner even bought us some champagne to kick off the birthday celebration for america!

wednesday started slow, it was raining here and i got to sleep in (thank goodness!)

headed to the pool with some chicks and some cool dudes

then we headed out on the boat for some fireworks. obviously i was having too much fun and didn't snap many picture but here are a few anyway!

      

pictures from either side of the boat at the exact same time (okay maybe a minute apart) 

how cool that it looks like two completely different times of day!

some beautiful fireworks to finish the night off; however, it only rained when the fireworks were going off, it was dry up until the first one in the sky and stopped right after the last one, figures mother nature! 

and quite honestly, i'm still in the mood for some red, white, and blue so i'm decked in it today! 

no white just yet, but i brought my sweater along just in case i feel a chill :) 

hope all you sweets had a lovely mid week holiday! here's to one day of work then a long weekend with a wedding! :) 

weekending

this weekend was a busy one that is for sure

teaching all weekend and seeing friends in between were the greatest (&only) parts! :) 

this weekend i came to realize a few things:

1.) i still love the boy who broke my heart but that's okay. he has a wonderful personality and we get along well when we interact. we haven't really been around each other for 5 years and now we teach together and i remember all the things i loved about him that i had forgotten. to love is the greatest even if we aren't loved back. there were always good time but sometimes you just aren't meant to be with someone even if you love them with all your heart

2.) my friends are the very very best. i'm sure you think yours are the best and they probably are. but mine....they are purely wonderful. it doesn't matter if it's been 2 days or 2 months since we've chatted last, it always feels like we're never apart for very long and i am thankful for that. i will always be there for them and them for me, this i know

3.) some of these people i teach with are a ton of fun and we have a lot in common. i mean really besides one person, i like them all

4.) i really like cheeseburgers, hot dogs and beer. there is nothing better than those 3 things on a hot summer day

5.) i don't like to eat a lot when it's hot outside. something about being outside and eating just doesn't sit well with me. now, this totally contradicts #4 but it is what it is! i just can't eat a lot outside when it is very hot, and i really love to eat a lot of summer foods

6.) now eating and drinking outside? these two go hand-in-hand for me! i never want to be outside if there isn't a beer/drink in my hand

7.) i've never been tanning in my entire life. i've only ever gotten dark from the sun and i believe somehow being tan makes me look and feel skinny but somehow i think i'm too tan...does that even make sense? i don't feel too skinny (i wish) but sometimes i look in the mirror and think i'm too dark

i'm a weirdo huh? that was just a lil bit of insight into the psyche of mine...scary huh? 

figure this is a pretty random post and i'll end it with a little pic of an outfit with my beautiful lace shorts! 

love love love these shorts. honestly, they were a great buy. only thing about them was they got a little big during the wear which is fine if they weren't already a bit big to start with but the next size down was just a little too snug, ya know?

but regardless, they will be worn many times! that mint top there, it's from h&m. i was told it was Blanch-y (like from golden girls)...ummmm WHAT?

do you think it is? do i have old lady clothes? a little self conscious over here...

help a sister out!
