Lovely little things...

Glorious weekend. One of my best friends {since 4th grade!} came into town with her husband. Sometimes I get a little stressed with all the visitors we have, but not this time. There is nothing like face-to-face time with a soul mate friend. I've realized since coming to Arizona that I miss these types of friendships. I have met some amazing women here and I love them, but most of my girlfriends are more couple-friends. Like... I am paired with Micah and we go on double dates with other couples. And I am completely blessed by that, but sometimes it's nice to have some girl time with someone who knows me like a sister. And that is exactly what I had this weekend!!!

I haven't had time to edit the pics from the fancy cam, but here are some pics from Saturday. We hiked Camelback, although we probably looked for parking for longer than we actually hiked, but that's what you get on an 80 degree Saturday in February. Hoorah! We finished off our night with some amazing Cabernet glazed burgers and a round of Settlers...

Trying to find parking... Nick is giving up hope!

Ready to go...



And here are some other lovely moments from the past week...

 
Reminiscing about some of my other dearest friends... my college roommates, the Greenhouse Girls // My car temp read 99 degrees around 5pm on Thursday. It was more like 80 out, but isn't it CRAZY to think it could even get that hot inside a car in February!?

This day started off with sleeping through my alarm, but I recovered nicely when I discovered a place called "Seattle Espresso" on my lunch break {powder white chocolate... yes, please!}

Smashburger craving satisfied. I went almost two months without it. // The pretty red shoes Micah bought me last week.

Hope you have a lovely week!
xoxo,
Jen
