Well, hello there relaxation.

This. weekend. was. delicious.

Jon & I had ZERO plans and it. was. glorius.

But definitely doesn't make for an exciting post full of photos.  My apologies.

Friday night we stayed in & ate pizza....the exact same way we ended our Sunday.  Pizza goin' into the weekend and pizza goin' out. 

Don't judge.

At least I ran off SOME of the pizza calories Saturday morning.

Saturday night was full of vino, food, bourbon & more food.  Aka:  Xenos Date Night.

Hey, the local saloon had happy hour from 9-10:00 pm.  $2.50 everything.

We had to take full advantage.

Sunday morning I got all house-wifey on Jon's ass & made breakfast for two...

Or three.

 

Breakfast was followed by....

And then play time.

All in all.

Great weekend full of great pizza.

I hope your weekends were just as glorius.

Of course I'm linking up with the fabulous girls for their weekly link-up.

Looking forward to perusing around blog land to see what all of you beauties were up to as well!

And in closing, can I just say...these next 48 hours are going. to. be. torturous. 

Closing Day:  Wednesday.

Get. here. now.

Seattle. You Hold My Heart.

And by heart, I mean Tara.

Words do not describe my excitement to be reunited with my homegirl, my bia, my best fraaand, my other half, the third to our 3 amigos, my soulmate....ONE week from today.

Next Friday evening my plane will be landing in the BEAUTIFUL city of Seattle.  I know I have some Seattle readers out there & this girl will be coming to a city near you in 7 short days. 

Tara moved out to Seattle last June, fell in love, got engaged to a wonderful man...

 ...and recently moved out of the city hub to Bainbridge Island. 

Only the cutest frickin' island in the universe. 

We all fell in love with Bainbridge when she took us on a fucking crazy ass biking marathon
nice little biking wine tour last fall.

We ended up biking like 40 miles in the 20 degree rainstorm that is Seattle in November. 
But hey, at least I had my cognac riding boots on.

Hey.  We do anything for wine.

Just like I'd do anything for THESE girls.

We've had our ups & downs. 

Been there for eachtoher thru amazing but sometimes hard life changes including
engagements, weddings & saying goodbye at airports.

But thru it all, we grow closer and closer every year that passes.  Even with 2,000 miles between us.

No one says it better than Ms. Carrie Bradshaw.

"And there, in the same city where they met as girls, four New York Kansas City women entered the next phase of their
lives dressed head to toe in love.
And that's the one label that never goes out of style." ~ Carrie Bradshaw~

Chevron. Chevron. Chevron.

Ok.  I've been keeping a secret from you all.  Kind of a big one.

We are CLOSING ON OUR LAKE HOUSE in one week.  Yes, one week from today. August 29th.

I know I told you awhile back that we were looking and that we fell in love with this one....but I know that SO many things can go wrong, so didn't want to spill the beans until things were set in stone.

August 29th.  We'll have keys and a beer in hand and sitting on our new patio enjoying this view....

Needless to say, I have fallen back in love with Pinterest. 
So what better bandwagon to jump on today....

Since our little living room is the heart of the house, i've been trying to decide what prints & colors will make this space really come alive.  And by alive I mean, cottagy--funky--trendy--cozy--& most of all, fun.

Aka:  Chevron.

I'm just loving these rustic hues of Chevron....LOVING THEM. 

I'm thinking they will look super charming complimented with our dark red brick fireplace. 

Eeeekk.

Can't wait.

Have you all caught the Chevron bug as well??
