this weekend!

hello!  i got to go home this weekend with my sistow because the rest of the fam is in AZ and we needed to be home to watch the pooch.  and hooray! 

^ i think maybe i take too many pictures of the sun... ha, i just can't help it!  when you love something, you talk about it and take its picture a lot (: but this was the sun on my wall when i woke up at home saturday morning! (!!!) just somethin about being in a home.  ^

seriously, whatta bunch of rockstars.  chase, bethany, nicole, justin, and my sister paige.  it just so happened that they were all able to find some time in their days on saturday to get together for a bit and catch up.  they all mean so much to me.  i think they always will and i'm grateful for the time we shared.  i'll take any sliver of time i can get!  it is most cherished.

^^ haha, soo casual.  i can just hear ron now... "classic lex" (: alright alright, it's true... i love those wall pics!!! (: ^^^

^ colossal café in saint paul!  a fun little place!  i recommend.  thanks for the suggestion, justin!  and if you go, be sure to carve out some time for walkin around the area.  the most lovely places to stumble upon. ^

 ^^ this is among my favorite places... the conservatory at como zoo in saint paul.  unfortunately, we got there right at four and their closing time is (you guessed it!) 4!  so we only walked around the outside a bit, but oh how glorious a day it was! ^^

^ whatta babe. ^

^^ i saw this beautiful barn on the way back to eau claire after i dropped my sister off and literally had to turn the car around so i could capture it.  i just thought it was so beautiful! ^^

& here's an update from the losers in AZ.. (not bitter. :))...

here's to beautiful weeks!  it'll be the best & i can't wait for that weatha!
sleep in peace knowing you're loved tonight, friend!
