yes, it is thursday.

+ i am just now filling you in on my weekend.

last weekend that is.

iv'e been busy. really, really busy.

but i did have a good weekend.

after the stress subsided.

i hosted a bridal shower for kathy dear.

her wedding colors are dark + light purple.

so i pretty much stuck to that for decorating.

+ threw in some punches of yellow for fun.

i made this absolutely delicious sangria.

it was a huge hit.

+ made cupcake liner garlands {instructions here}.

they are so darn cute that i might just

hang them somewhere in our house.

we even got an orchid named joaquin.

{he went through a lot with us that joaquin}.

we had pretty flowers in mason jars with some

lemons that made them smell divine.

+ even purple soda.

{you can see me if you look close}.

+ strawberres in champagne.

my favorite.

+ i made kathy a pimp cup for the day.

+ tested how well she knows her groom.

+ she opened lots of presents.

oh yeah, + we ate really good cake.

+ we discovered that G-boy loves to play with tulle.

it was a lovely day + she got some amazing gifts.

{huge thanks to husband + hollie for helping me find everything,

help me set up, + then help me clean up. oh how i love you}.

that same very evening we had a birthday party

at our house for brian's birthday.

there are no pictures of this event {thankfully}

but i guaruntee a good time was had.

including....

lots of beer + really good cake + spiked watermelon + jello shots + bag toss

+ amazing friends + bonfires + beer pong + kitchen dance moves..

all of which resulted in me passing out on a lawn chair in the backyard with stacey.

.good times.

on sunday, after waking up passed out partygoers + cleaning up,

we hit up the beach for a nice relaxing day in the sun + the water.

it was much needed + so very lovely.

i will fill you in later on what i have been up to this week

.. keeping me so very busy.
