Last Weekend


Ohh, It's already Friday. Aren't you excited?
Before we move on into my favorite activity coming up soon [weekending] I wanted to show you...

I actually toted around my camera last weekend! Aren't you proud? I always mean to do this, and rarely do. So here we go,some pictorial memories of a few activities.

One of the [only] good things about boyfriend being out of town firefighting is that my attention is undivided, and this weekend it landed solely on my family. You know... birthday celebrations... sister time. I was into it.


Sister has decided to sort of participate in taking needless photos with me.

Mostly, she takes photos of me before I'm ready.
...hair prep, people. (We all do it, right?)

... and lets me take photos of her cuz, you know, she's super cute.
Do you remember doing this all the time when you were little? (...or yesterday?)

...and then there's just really pretty flowers and blue skies that have to be slipped in there, too.

We went out for drinks and lunch together. We were browsing for her birthday presents, then when my mom and I went back to secretly purchase them, she was in the store! Oh... coincidences.

mom, me, erica

We finished off the brithday celebration marathon with the last 2 birthday dinners: sister's and mom's. It was fun gathering the different people that are special to us and have a night that was designed especially for the birthday girl. I looked on, admiringly, remembering how much I love them both.


We went to the farmers market, went on a bike ride, went for 'London Fog' teas... then I had to go back to work to rest.

It was a good one.

Are you excited for this weekend? I hope you all have a good one!

I didn't know your bf was a firefighter! My bf was considering that for awhile. It's certainly a needed job!

i am just here to celebrate the fact that your camera made it out with you. *happy dance* i found it to be a pain in the rear, but when i got that one photo that was either hilarious or just plain brilliant, it was totally worth it.

case in point: that photo of your sis with the flower. LOVE it! :) also, the hair prep--classic. too funny :)

cheers to the weekend!
