lately i've been spending lots of time with my nose buried in my school books.  as happy as i am to be back in school i have found myself lacking the companionship of others.  these past few weeks i have made a decidedly more conscience effort to spend time with my friends.  

wandering aimlessly through the alleys of denver with bridget.  

evening coffee dates in laney's jeep.  

brunch with the boys.  

it has felt good to spend more time with those i love. 

i find comfort in knowing my books will always be waiting for me when i get home.

 

 

 

 

my new phone camera has gotten much more use than my little canon rebel.  

my life in squares.

//

drink more coffee.  use a disposable cup.  pet a kitten.

birthday celebration // floral crown

j's getting handy with the camera

a couple of weeks ago i decided that i would wear flowers in my hair on my birthday. 

why would you not?

i sent out an email to sarah at ladybird poppy and asked if she'd be up for making a floral crown the saturday after valentines day.  

she said yes.

we were both super excited to see what could be created.

i'm pretty sure sarah crawled into my brain and photo copied my ideas.  

the colors.

the flower choices.

the size even! (i have THE biggest head ever!!)

perfect.

thank you so much for adding such a beautiful element to my birthday celebration!  

you have a lifelong customer in me.

sarah is top notch and the absolute sweetest!

//

love it. embrace it. eat a piece of pie.  and then another.

29 // woah.

i celebrated my 29th birthday on the 16th.  it was a day full of treats.  i woke up early and went to get my hair done, ate breakfast with my honey, thrifted some great books, drank a chocolate milk shake and wore flowers in my hair.  the best birthday ever i'd say.

//

give your change to the homeless.  knit a scarf.  make it all about you.

valentine

because being cheesy far outweighed my desire to dress like an adult.  

//

love it all.  

neighborhood walks // 1

sometimes i find myself trying to understand graffiti.   most of the time i realize they don't need it to be understood, just admired.

//

take a walk. dance.  love openly.

celebrate // j's birthday

just over a week ago we celebrated j's 27th birthday in the mountains.  we went tubing, ate some expensive mexican food (we both prefer the cheap stuff) and held hands.  

thanks for spending your birthday with me my dear.

//

surprise your best friend with coffee.  giggle out loud at a book.  try collard greens.
