I got an early birthday card from Anthropologie today, and it just made my day!

... And the birthday candle is really a necklace!

[Aris is such a baby in this photo! This was taken when we were in Hawaii last year!]

Happy Birthday to both my Mommy and Ariston!!! Love you guys so much! Can't wait for us to all celebrate our birthdays together! :)

I know I've probably said this a million times... but I miss my Snickers so much!

I went to Deb's Memorial Day BBQ... the first unofficial day of summer! It was a great day to spend out by the pool! I'm looking forward to many more of these days! :)

On a separate note, this blog has been up for about a year now! Can you believe it? It's been such a joy to share my photo(s)-a-day with you all, and it's also wonderful to know that I have my entire 24th year archived on here! It's really something! I've been debating whether or not I should continue posting a photo-a-day... Or I may even just take a break for awhile. We'll see... I guess I'll make the official decision on my birthday which is only a couple of days from now! Please feel free to give me some feedback! I love hearing from you all! I hope you all enjoyed this long weekend, and I hope that the sunny days continue!

PS. I miss my Snickers dearly! :( She left me today.... My sister took this while they were en route to Georgia! My house feels empty without her.

Ashley and I decided to head out to the Strawberry Festival out in Pungo on Sunday. As you can see, there isn't anything strawberry-related about these photos, and because it was sooo hot.. we decided to skip the strawberry picking. We had a pleasant lunch there, though! :)

This past week has been a busy one because I've been planning a baby shower for my sister and her husband, Jose! It's been a lot of fun gathering all the decorations, planning games, and buying gifts! I can't wait to meet little Baby Joshua!

I love my new Liberty bedding (from Target) and 300+ count organic cotton sheets! I didn't realize that the cotton count can make such a difference... I've been sleeping like a baby! Now I wonder what a 400+ count Egyptian cotton must feel like....

I've been eyeballing these shoes since January or February, and I finally got them at a nice sale price! They were meant for me! :)
