1. Last night, Jesse’s cousin and her son/our godson visited. We had pita chips and hummus plus smoothies for dinner – I think someone was a fan of them…
2. After a walk, we then went out for dessert.
Froyo!
I was much happier after leaving this time. Last time I was so excited to try it that I went a little too crazy, but this time I enjoyed it without going overboard – a win for me anytime it comes to dessert!
3. Jesse’s sweet cousin also brought me a bouquet of flowers as an early birthday gift :)
4. Are any of you fans of The Office? Did you watch the series finale last night?? It made me a little emotional! That was such a great show….
“There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?”
5. My little sister graduates from high school this weekend, and I couldn’t be more proud of her…I will not cry. I will not cry…
6. Our friends Matt & Jenna got engaged this week!! We’re so happy for them and can’t wait to celebrate!

7. I’m ridiculously disappointed that I can’t be at the Blend Retreat this weekend…I would love to meet so many of these friends I’ve made through blogging! I know they’ll all have a fantastic time.
8. Larabar sent me some of their new ALT bars to try this week….so far I absolutely love them! No surprise there though ;) More to come one those another time…
9. One week until summer officially starts for me! I’m excited, but then I really need to figure out what I’m doing with my life… *sigh*
10. And that’s all I have for today…Happy Friday!!
