Happy independence day!

Just a few snaps from our 4th of July celebration in good ol Lubbock, TX. Donuts, flags, friends & family, a hometown parade, a few bloody marys & lots of red white & blue. Good times!

And a big thank you to our troops and veterans for their sacrifices to keep us safe. God bless you!

Dear Husband...(Key West Recap)

Dear Husband...

My favorite things about our trip to Key West:

Cuban Coffee & Pressed Cuban Bread Cheese Sandwiches for Breakfast  •  
Snorkeling at Jackson State Park- Just the 2 of us  •  Couples Massage
(And wearing fluffy matching robes to said massage)  •  Our big shower
with the rainfall shower head  •  You almost crashing a Vespa (scary!)
and then me making you rent an electric car  •  Palm Trees  •  Dinner in Bed  •  
Umbrella Drinks  •  My First Time Parasailing (loved going with you)  •  
Our Fedoras (Sheryl called us "Fedorable")  •  Fried Chicken and Cookies
on the Catamaran  •  Sunsets  •  Journey Sing-a-longs with our Besties  •  
Key Lime Pie (duh...)  •  Raw Bars •  Beers at The Porch  •  Guy Friend
Necklaces (um...)  •  Dancing at Irish Kevins & Sloppy Joe's  •  Sunset Parties
in Mallory Square  •  An awesome day on the catamaran with drinks, eats,
snorkeling at the reef, jet ski's, the banana boat, & good friends  •
Clay & Rebekah's Wedding reminding me of our wedding just 9

But the best thing...Being there with you.

P.S. CONGRATULATIONS Clay & Rebekah. You both are such wonderful amazing people and I'm so excited for you. We love you both very much and wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

Floral & Military

Anyone completely obsessed with the military and floral trend? Good. Me too. I just love mixing casual skinny cargoes with a girly top or balancing out a ladylike floral with some tougher pieces. So I threw together this inspiration board and this little Polyvore set to celebrate 3 of my favorite ways to wear this trend (I actually wore the 1st outfit to work yesterday.) What is your favorite trend right now? Enjoy lovelies!

My Dad

Since I was out of town over the weekend, this is a bit late...

Happy belated Fathers Day to the best Dad in the whole world! I love that we are so alike and that I get so much of what I love from you (like art and music.) I am so proud of all you accomplish- from your tri-athalons to remodels to the fabulous restaurants- you are amazing. Thank you for singing "Back to the House at Pooh Corner" and James Taylor songs to me when I was little, thank you for being patient while I was the world's worst driver, thank you for teaching me to be tough and a hard worker. Thank you for your kindness, support, jokes, hugs and unending love. I could go on and on. You are my hero and my rock. Love you Daddy.

P.S. And Happy Father's Day to my awesome Father-in-law! I will always remember the sweet speech at our wedding about wanting daughters- I am so blessed to be your DIL! XO

Off to Key West

Happy Tuesday pretties! The hubs and I are off to Key West in the morning to celebrate Hubs' birthday, the wedding of some of our dearest friends, and for some much needed R&R. I'll be back to blogging on Monday.
Have a great week!
