Beets and Tots and Love

It's Friday! And I can't wait for the weekend to commence!

And today a few snapshots into my week.

I am almost finished with my latest Louise Erdrich book, I think this is my third in a row. I seem to be on a beet of a kick:

I made Tater Tot Hot Dish. It was amazing. I am now officially Minnesotan. Now that C is working full time, it's my new job to start cooking dinner twice a week. Any easy recipes you have to share would be amazing. I can make bagels with cream cheese, a mean curry, and spaghetti. Annnnd that's about it. Girlfriend needs some help in the cooking department. I do have a lot of cute aprons and strawberry dishes, though! :) It's the accessories that count, right?

I also re-stocked over at The Vintage Gypsy with some great autumn vintage! Lots of tribal print, feathers, and yummy warm colors. Although, I'm definitely not ready for fall I am kind of getting excited to wear boots and tights again. Kind of.

I know, I know I am not collecting anymore deer figurines, but I really want this deer print top from my School of Vintage lovelies. WANT IT.

I have ALREADY started thinking about our wedding and putting together a binder of ideas. (Cayla doesn't know this yet.) DIY mason jars? Yes. This is happening.

ALSO, I want to wish a HUGE congratulations to my friend Nicole (that's her! what a doll!) who also just got engaged! I have a feeling we are going to have the cutest weddings ever, and I am glad I have a partner in (wedding planning) crime.

I am still feeling the love from Kristi and Patrick's wedding this weekend. It was pretty amazing.

I mean, GOD, could they be any effing cuter?!

 

And here's me and my gal.

 

 

Tonight, I am heading to Happy Hour after work for some 2 for 1 hard ciders and then heading home to tackle the GREAT RE-ORGANIZATION of 2012. It feels really good, friends. Really, really good.

Wishing you a fabulous weekend full of lots and lots of love!
