4th of July Weekend

For the 4th of July, I drove up to Hudsonville to spend the weekend with one of my best friends of all time- Michelle.  The first day we went to Grand Haven beach, watch some fireworks in West Olive, and ate some amazing pizza in Holland.

The next day at Michelle's house and Holland:

Mira, cutest giant fluff ball ever.

Chicago Weekend- Feb 14

This past weekend, we scooted down to Chicago to visit Loyola with Lauren.  I stayed an extra day to hang out with some of my best homies- Cath and Jess.

Bip Bom Bim? Bim Bop Bom? Bi Bim Bop (to accurately portray how long it takes me to say it right).

We love our Bi Bim Bop!

Isn't this a lovely poem about spring?  "Spring is not so much a season// As it is a quality"

The most magical bookstore.  Good books are true friends-- indeed.

Look at Jess's exquisite view.

Enjoying some CBA...it's been too long.

 

On a whim I dragged Jess into MAC for some lipstick fun.  We came out sportin' some badass red lipstick.

To Piper:  You are more than just the happiest little girl ever.  Those giggles, and big hearted smiles are contagious.  You already know joy is about as you smile at people walking by in the street, feel the crunching of the leaves under your bare feet, and share your precious raspberries with your new furry friends. 

To Leslie: Sometimes the sweetest thing is witnessing your friend blossom in their new era of life.  To have ushered the magic along with the different and the new.  Pish posh to remembering the pans you leave in the oven, 11:30 am dance parties with your toddler is the true good stuff.  "It's never too early to dance!"
