Life Lately, according to my instagram.

Zac + I saw Local Natives play this past week.  I LOVE them :)  We first discovered them together in Nashville when they were the start up band for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.  They have such a positive energy and their music just makes you feel good.  I got chills a few times while they were playing haha.  One of my favorite lyrics is "as you think, the bad feeling so bad makes the good so good".  It's at the very end of world news.

This weekend we went to the movies twice!  We saw Before Midnight (I absolutely LOVED Before Sunrise + Before Sunset).  It was a lot less romantic, but I still really liked it and seeing how the characters had grown.  We also saw Mud.

On Saturday, we went to the famers market.  Zac asked if I wanted to get any flowers so of course I had to say yes :)  I picked out some Zinnias.  We went for tomatos (to make salsa) but ended up only getting peaches.  I made a peach cobbler on Father's Day.  It was SO yummy!!!

Currently.

Watching:  Teen Mom, Pretty Little Liars, Amazing Race, Carrie Diaries, 90210, Survivor, Cupcake Wars, Pioneer Woman... 

Thinking about:  Our trip we just booked to Jackson Hole, WY.  We are so EXCITED!!!  I LOVE traveling with my husband.  It is one of my favorite things to do together.  We have never been and are planning on kayaking, fishing, relaxing, hanging out by the pool, getting a massage, hiking + lots of exploring.  We are going to go to Yellowstone + Grand Teton...YYYAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY 

Listening to:  The lithium station on Sirius XM (The best Grunge and '90s Alternative Rock).  Brings me back to middle school/high school.

Dreaming about:  The upcoming weeks + months.  We are so excited for some changes and I hope to share soon. 

Reading:  I'm a pretty slow reader...I am STILL finishing the third book of the Fifty Shades of Grey series.  I cannot tell you how happy I will be when I finish.  I just need to knock it out.  I'm over it, but I want to know how it ends.  I also read Belly Laughs.  It's a quick read + pretty funny.  I bought it years ago and decided to give it another try.  I also still need to finish The Hunger Games series too.

Looking forward to:  An art show I'm in + the opening is this Friday night...

 

"Hanging Participles"
Opening Friday, March 15th 6-9PM
Through March 24th

639 Marshal Ave.

 

Drinking:  Lots of water + orange juice + lemonade (I'm on a citrus kick)

Making me happy:  Daylight savings :)  I love that the sun is still out when I get off work and I have a few hours to enjoy it.  I'm looking forward to nightly walks with Vera + Zac when it warms up.

I also went to my last pilates class this week.  I am going to give yoga a try for a little while and see which I like best. 

Eating:  Milk + Oreos.  Too much junk food (as always).  I like my healthy food too though. 

Life Lately, according to my instagram.

This time of year always seems super busy.  I'm getting lots of things done...or trying to at least :)

Our trip in instagrams...

We spent the past few days in Ft. Lauderdale visiting my father-in-law.  More pictures to come...

Currently.

Reading:  Fifty Shades Darker

Watching:  Bachelor Pad, Big Brother, Real World + Pretty Little Liars...hmm...maybe that's where all my creative time went.  I should probably watch less, but it's just so tempting.  We've also been watching the olympics.  I love watching women's gymnastics.  It's my favorite!!!  Go team USA!!!

Thinking about:  Babies.  I've started a list of things I want to do before after reading Elsie's post.  You know how I LOVE to create lists + cross them off, haha.  Any suggestions???

Anticipating:  Getting a bike for my birthday :)  I have a mountain bike, but I want a more comfortable one.  I'm thinking about Electra's Townie 7D in vanilla or Giant's Cypress W in light green.  I can't wait for Fall weather too.

Listening to: Wild Nothing.  I've been obsessed ever since we saw them play live.

Eating: Caprese salad with cantaloupe...think I'm crazy?  I might be, but it's delicious.  Does anyone else salt + pepper their cantaloupe too???

Drinking: Starbucks latte this morning + lots of water.  Oh...Have you tried LaCroix Natural Coconut Sparkling Water?  Mmm...it's so good (if you like coconut).  It's a nice little treat that doesn't have sugar or artificial sweeteners.  I've tried to like the Vita Coco coconut water and I just can't do it.  I've tried the flavored kind too.  Yuck. :)

Working on: Completing my summer manifesto.  Some things are going to get crossed off the list + some aren't; I'm ok with that :)  I just realized that it's coming to an end...but I welcome Fall with open arms.  It's my favorite time of the year + full of magic.

What about you? What have you been up to lately? If you do your own "currently" post on your blog, link back in the comments!  I'd love to hear.

Summer Twenty Twelve Minibook Update

I'm loving this form of memory keeping :)  It's quick + I like how you can add in items (room keys, luggage tags, name tags, postcards, receipts, etc.) that normally you might not know what to do with or throw in a drawer.  I like that it's easy to add instagrams, printed photos + instax too.  I think 4" x 6" is the perfect size too.  I see lots of these in my future ♥

*I bought my summer minibook from Elise.

**You can check out her awesome, finished one here.
