Would you guys hate me if I posted this picture EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY? It makes me happy, but I’m willing to negotiate.
Next week at this time, I’ll be in SAN FRANCISCO! My sweet little Lauren is graduating from high school (WHAT THE HECK!!) and I’m so stoked to be around all of the people I love the very most. It’s been an incredibly rough month or so (and the storm keeps. raging. on. I. don’t. get. it.) and seeing the loves of my life has been the light at the end of the tunnel, the thing I have kept thinking about. and now it’s right around the corner!
MOVING ON.
Fridaaaayyyyyyy!!! Five things, okay?
My sweet friend Allie recently made a post of beautiful wallpapers based off of her favorite songs. Next week you’ll read more about it, but one of the songs is a song I’ve been singing a lot lately. Go check out her wallpapers, tell her I sent you and marvel in how lovely they are.
I was scrolling through my twitter feed when I saw River Maiden had posted pictures of coffee. and I got up and drove to River Maiden. Be forewarned, you’re about to see the same picture over and over.

Imagine how awesome my Monday was when I realized that River Maiden had used my picture on their social media! Just so you know this filename is rivermaidenmademehappy.jpg so that’s how awesome it was. I’m smitten like a kitten who is relaxing with some knittin’. I just made that up, you can borrow it if you want.
Last weekend we had this big annual basketball tournament at our church. My new plan is to insist that their team rosters have a spot for “cute, single guy who wants to talk to the youth pastor all weekend.” because seriously. My church was full of dudes, and even though I PRAYED for a cute Canadian to take an interest in me… nothing.
I digress.
After the Saturday night meeting some of my friends and I were standing around and someone (I think Alexis) said she wanted to go on a hike. and I agreed. and we talked about it, and I created a Facebook event called “Girls hike” (because while I wanted to talk to a cute Canadian, it’s more important for me to be poured into by my girl friends right now)… and it’s happening tomorrow. I’m just excited for all of it.
If you are a faith-based blogger, you should know that my friend Susannah (who is like ACTUALLY my friend, like I hung out with her yesterday) hosts a link up on Fridays called Faith & Fellowship. I’ll be linking up my Future|Past post, and I encourage you to hop over there as well!
Me and my bank account and my debt repayment journey would really appreciate it if Swoozie’s could just stop selling the cutest things in the entire world. Since it’s almost summer and the weather’s picking up and we all know that staying hydrated is important, I’m wondering how much longer I can hold out before I buy this water bottle. Also it’s my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY next week, so if anyone wanted to buy it for me, I’d wouldn’t hate it.
Happy weekending, everyone!

Ok you are seriously hilarious. Intro. Can you believe I’ve never actually heard that song? Yeah….wasn’t really a thing over here lol. 1. I’m def going to check out her wallpaper, I can already tell I am going to love them because “you make me brave.” Thanks! 2. Well, I mean…it is a pretty epic picture! I’ve been drinking all my coffee at home, now I want to go out and get some (but the bank account…) 3. LOL a basketball tournament sounds really fun! And the hike too! 4. *checks out link-up* 5. WHY IS IT SO CUTE?!
hey holly!!!
oh. my. gosh. listen at your own risk, because it will change your fridays FOREVER. i hope you love the wallpaper! oh man… coffee at home is good but there’s just something about someone else making it. same goes for basically anything, even peanut butter & jelly sandwiches haha!
the basketball tournament is fun…. if you like sitting around in a room full of basketball for two and a half days!! this year i helped in the snack bar though, so at least i wasn’t just sitting on the hard bleachers while my butt hurt haha.
<3
Awww… Thanks for the shoutout, Stephanie!!! I like you a lot! Also, you DO NOT want a Canadian. All the paperwork that goes into moving him here or moving you there is just not worth it… 😉
bahahahahaha. so true. i was mostly just looking for a distraction for the weekend. the true eyes of my heart are sat on nashville lol ;D
I love the picture. As bad as that song was it really sticks with me and I think about it several times a day on Fridays. Such a fun post!
haha that song is NEVER going away… as long as one person remembers about it, we’ll all remember it!! ;D
Please post the Rebecca Black picture every week. 🙂 Congrats to your friend on graduating! And is the Vantucky on that cup for Vancouver? Because, awesome.
haha yeah! that’s what the locals call it… vantucky or the couve. i actually hate both of those names but it’s kinda cool when cool people use it, you know?
&& just for you, miss black stays ;D
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!!! And I hope you get the water bottle….and the cute dude! God has a plan…all in His perfect timing. 🙂
thank you so much, cheryl!!! that’s what i care about more than anything else – being patient and waiting on the Lord!
The average time that song has gotten stuck in my head when I’ve seen that picture has only been about 8 mins – so I’m not complaining..for now 🙂
hahaha… you should make a graph to chart how long the time increases ;D
I knew your coffee and shoes pics would make it big! I’d repost them too minus the fact that I don’t own a coffeeshop so it wouldn’t really be all that cool……I’ll work on the coffee shop part 😉
these pics are on the brink of taking over the world, just saying. please get a coffee shop and i will promote the crap out of it. i will even paint my nails for that picture ;D
