Smelling the Mixed Bouquets


What a week. I mean, really. It began with some of the most horrific tornadoes the mid-west has ever encountered and has ended with sunshine and eerily calm weather. This is one of those weeks that reminds us all of just how precious life is and how much each day should be cherished.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m completely guilty of “getting through” my weekdays versus savoring each, sweet moment.

All of this reminds me that I need to slow down and smell the roses. Or the mixed bouquets. Like the one my beau sent me yesterday at work, for no reason, other than to say he loved me.


Here are a few more things that I’m grateful for this week:

1. Our Save the Date proof that we received yesterday. Although I’m grateful for these adorable little pieces of cardstock, I’m even more appreciative of what they represent: The day I get to marry my best friend.


2. Pizza and ice cream sundae nights with le fiancĂ©, like the one we had last night. Even though you feel like a blob the next day, it’s so worth it : )

3. My parents and in-laws. During the storms, mine and Stephen’s moms were constantly calling and texting us to see if we were ok. Goes to show that having people that truly care for your health and safety is priceless.

4. My almost-SIL Sarah and our random text marathons during the day at work, like one we had yesterday. Love that girl!

5. This photo I got in my email box from my daddy last week of my little Max. If you can’t tell, this dog is spoiled!


What are you grateful for this week? Did anything make you smile, laugh or just plain feel better?

Have a safe and happy Memorial day, friends.

Be blessed, lovelies-
