Friends, All In, Snuggles, and Snowpocalypse
Have you entered the giveaway for a Sephora gift card from Glossy Blonde? No? You should!
Happy Friday!
I had SUCH a great weekend last weekend. I was so blessed to drive up to Richmond for the night and spend some time with some sorority sisters. PLUS, my friend and AMAAAAAAAZING wedding photographer Katelyn James, spoiled us rotten. And by us, I mean her brides. She held a SPA DAY for us brides at the Red Door Salon & Spa in Richmond. So I got a facial AND I got to see friends? Talk about a win win!
But seriously, I felt so blessed. I mean, Katelyn was my photographer and yet, she spoiled us so sweetly for Christmas. What a gift she is!
And of course, no trip to Richmond is complete without lunch at Plaza Azteca with some Phi Mus. š
I am loving the new series at church right now – it’s called All In and I just being part of a church family that is completely sold out to Christ, Biblically strong, and totally open, loving, and relevant.
Tater has gotten in the habit now of jumping on the bed and snuggling me in the mornings while husband is at the gym. I can’t help but love it. She’s such a good snuggler.
As I’m writing this, it’s SNOWING. I know, some of you hate snow or think, “Oh my gosh, come on, that’s nothing.” But I LOVE SNOW. Seriously. LOVE IT. It makes me so happy. Such a great way to end the week!
What did YOU do this week? Highs? Lows? Loves?
Molly! CONGRATULATIONS!! That is SO exciting, and that video was the cutest thing ever š I didn’t scroll down so when I watching I just thought it was a video about how much you loved boots…so I died when I saw you put the little boots down š Anyway – SO cute!

awwwww yay!!! thanks, annie!! we were hoping we’d get that reaction!
Spending tine with friends is amazing and much needed.
amen to that!! it’s so refreshing.
WHOA! Go, KJ! That sounds amaaaaazing!
it was AWESOME!
what a great group of friends! how fun! I like snow around christmas time – which we didn’t really get. we’ve hardly had any. I think it’s really pretty – i just don’t like driving in it!
amen to that – i love looking at snow but driving in it not so much!
Wow- what a great time! Tater seems like the sweetest pooch and cuddles while it’s snowing is the only way to go. š
she really is the sweetest! thank you so much, skylette!
I think you all got about as much as we have in PA right now, which isn’t the norm for us. We are enjoying a milder winter! For you folks, it’s nice for the snow to be a little treat for you to enjoy. It really is beautiful-you should see it when we get a 6-12 inches overnight (when we have storms), and how it glistens and sparkles. Truly another masterpiece from the Maker!
Have a great weekend! =)
really?? that’s crazy!! i have family in PA and they were saying the same thing!! thank you so much for your comment, josanne!!
I love your cool chevron shirt! I miss hanging out with my girlfriends so much, but such is distance & now being a mom. Just went to your church’s website–it looks like it’s really thriving! What denomination is it?

thank you so much, rachel!! my church is technically a Wesleyan church, but it’s really more non-denominational Christian. it’s amazing!!
Being with your sorority sisters is the best! I am still so close to mine too! And man, I wish we would get snow at least once year…but in reality, it’s more like once every 3 years. I want to build a snowman!!!
we sadly didn’t get enough to build a snowman but it was still pretty!!!
Fun post! Love the photos of you and your girlfriends!
thank you so much, rachel!
what an exciting weekend, mine was pretty good…..one of the reasons being because i got to see you!

Happy to hear you had such a nice week! Looks like you had some great time with girlfriends and I’m a little jealous of your dog snuggling in bed. Mine won’t stay still long enough for that haha

awww that’s no fun. snuggly dogs are the best!!
Yay for a great weekend! I was able to see several old friends over the holidays and it was great š Snow does kind of freak me out though because I don’t like being trapped inside. I’m always scared to drive in it. But..thanks to your little friend known as snow, all my classes were cancelled today.Yesss! Have a great weekend.
oh love that. time with friends is such a blessing!! š thank you so much, rebecca!
I love spending time with friendsācombine that with FACIALS (!) and I’m pretty sure there’s nothing better š This week has been pretty stressful for me (I got a new boss, which is always interesting!), so I’m looking forward to a long weekend filled with friends and sleep!
oh yes! it was the best!! thank you so much, alyssa!
I’m jealous not just that you have snow and we don’t but that you got to eat Plaza Azteca!! I wish they would venture up north a bit more cause I miss them so much! Yum!
did you know they are opening a Plaza in STERLING?! oh yes.
Yay I’m glad you had a great time with your friends and an awesome week! Hope the trend continues on into the weekend! š

Finally, someone else who loves snow! Isn’t it beautiful?! I mean, it’s only for a few months … we should enjoy it!
Found you through the Hop … new FB follower!
i’m the same way, michelle!! š š snow is BEAUTIFUL!
That sounds like such an inspiring church series! And that is sooo sweet of your wedding photographer to give you a spa day! I love your sorority sister’s boots in the pic – they are awesome! And your Tater reminds me so much of my Chester! She looks like such a sweetie!!!
oh niki it really is!! š thank you so much, girl!!
The best part of snow is when you don’t have to go anywhere and can just enjoy it’s beauty (in the comfort of your pjs and couch) š

I LOVE snow! Growing up in upstate NY I understand this isn’t much, but I can’t help but get excited for it! I especially love playing in it with my pups. They have a blast.
i know!! me too!! š snow is the best!
Whee! Blow that snow a little farther east. Is it pathetic I’m up this late just to see if it does actually snow out here?
hahahhaah love it!
