Looking Forward (And Staying Present)

top: c/o August Wrinkle // skirt: Old Navy // sandals: Payless
necklace: c/o Simply Livly // bracelet: c/o Ettika

I mentioned a few of the things I'm really excited for over the course of this year. Seriously when I think about everything I have to look forward to, my heart races really fast.

We leave at the very end of May (and into June) to go to Illinois. While there we'll be getting together with family for a memorial for my grandparents and going to a Cubs game to remember my grandpa. We'll also be taking a day trip to Milwaukee to visit Izzy's family and meeting up with Meghan (of The Perfect Compilation Tape) and her husband for brunch.


My cousin is getting married in July, and weddings are always fun. And Iz and I decided that we're hosting a pool party in August. We have yet to have people over here since Izzy moved in and I'm excited to have our friends over to see our place and have fun with us!

Of course my birthday is in September. We're going up to Duluth for a few days and I'm excited to celebrate my birthday with my three favorite boys (Izzy, Monte and Roscoe of course). I'm not a big partier and I don't need something HUGE to welcome me to my 30s so I figure this will be the best way to celebrate the end of my 20s.

The thing I think I'm MOST excited about, though, is seeing Wicked in October. I've been wanting to see it for forever, but for whatever reason every time it's in the Twin Cities I don't see it. So when I got an email from my favorite local radio station announcing presale tickets, I jumped on them. Now the only problem is that I have to wait till October. How will I manage?


In the present, though, I can't complain. The weather is gorgeous, we'll be opening the pool soon, and I am crazy in love with this new top from August Wrinkle. It's kind of perfect for summer and it makes me feel so girly. I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot this summer and into fall (you know, doing all those fun activities I have coming up).

Are you looking forward?

Thinking about: How silly I am for wishing it would get warm, and then it finally does get warm and all I do is complain about how hot it is. Then again, maybe if the pool was open I wouldn't complain so much?

Feeling: Icky. On Monday I started feeling a little headachey. Now my head feels full of cotton, my nose is stuffy and my throat is scratchy. And all of this, plus the heat, is giving me a major headache. UGH. Feeling sick when it's hot out is the worst!

Watching: Now that I've finished watching Bones, Izzy and I are finishing One Tree Hill. I forgot how much I love that show (even the later, lesser seasons).

Reading: My friend Paige recommended that I read the Slammed series by Colleen Hoover. I just finished the first book and now I'm gobbling up the second one. I can't stop!

Looking forward to: We have stuff going on EVERY SINGLE MONTH for the rest of the year. Going to Illinois in June, my cousin's wedding in July, a pool party in August, my birthday in September, seeing Wicked in October, our anniversary in November and Izzy's birthday in December. It's going to be a great rest of the year.

Making me happy: Seeing green outside. Even though I'd prefer 60s and 70s it is so nice to see the trees and grass and flowers growing outside. FINALLY.


How are you?
