Weekend...Come Again?

Happy Monday, loves!

First things first: One of my favorite bloggers, Ashley from Run with Me, featured me in her Summer Essentials series, and today I'm on her blog talking about my summer essentials and my favorite summer activity. Go check it out and say hello to Ashley while you're at it...you will love her! thanks Ash!

I'm not sure if it's me, or all the Vitamin D, I soaked up this weekend saying this, but this past weekend was one of the best ones so far this year. Well, minus the fact Billy was gone until Sunday afternoon. Billy spent the weekend with some guy friends and his brother at the cottage cleaning the boat, fishing, etc. so you better believe I was parked at my favorite pool allll day long and hanging out with girlfriends. The weather here was 85 and sunny all weekend long. The sun and I reunited and it never felt SO good. My lovely friend, Jessie's, pool opened up on Saturday and I had a text at 9am from her about being locked out of the pool because the gates hadn't opened yet, but that she was still setting up shop out front to be the first one to get in to save us spots. Serious pool rats we are.

Allow me to introduce to you where my butt is parked the majority of the summer.

the Goat.

this place gets packed and is so much fun. They have volleyball courts and cornhole to the left. I took this pic around 11am, so it wasn't too crowded yet.

and with this girl...

me and Jessie!

It was fabulous.

....and after we couldn't bronze our bods any longer...me, Kasey, Jessie and her boyfriend Matt, and another couple, Karisa and Scott, went to the Clippers baseball game downtown and it could have not been a more gorgeous night for it.

My ideal day right there...sun & fun all day long.

Me and my girlfriend Kasey...

On Sunday after Billy got back in town, he took me out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants, Tucci's, to have an early birthday celebration. We both indulged with pasta dishes and got some fro-yo for dessert after. The weather was perfect to sit outside on the patio and they had a small jazz band playing. It really was a perfect evening..

Luckily, I have a super short week ahead of me. I'm sure that by now you are so sick of me saying this, but you have to hear it one more time...Steph and BBFT fly in on Weds. night!!!!!! This Weds night. like 2 days. STOKED. Can you tell? then on Friday it'll be my birthday and Jess and Erica arrive! Eeeeeeeek!!!
We are ready for the 2 texans, the Boston rapper, and the KY priss.
But the real question is...are you ready?! I'm going to say sorry now for blowing up your instagram and twitter feeds with pictures! ;)

Even though I will probably be MIA from commenting on blogs this week, I still have some good posts scheduled that you should definitely come back for. Tomorrow you have a chance to win a shop credit to an awesome online shop! :)
