Happy Friday from Corolla, North Carolina! We've been here since Saturday and I figured the internet connection might be questionable, so I had a couple scheduled posts set on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm here writing this post from the huge dinner table next to the kitchen of our beach house.

It's been so nice hanging out with my extended family all week, and wonderful as always to spend time with Rob. It's hard to believe that I'll be moving in with him in less than three weeks! There's still so much to do before then.

I hope you all have a great weekend! We're leaving early Saturday afternoon, but until then I'll be swimming in the pool, walking along the beach, and reapplying that sunscreen!

How has your week been? You can check mine out a bit more on Instagram.

This week has been a little stressful, so a Thursday off did me a world of good before I even knew it. 

I slept in a bit, spent extra morning time in the kitchen (my favorite) with my mom, puttered around outside with bare feet, washed my hair in what must have been the longest shower ever, met a friend for coffee, ran to Target, took my dog for two walks, and had cocktails and ribs at home.

Rob lands in Roanoke later on tonight, and tomorrow morning we're hitting the road with my family to spend the week at the beach. My dad's brothers and sisters all meet up every other year, and usually it's on the West Coast, but this year everyone is heading this way. I'm so excited to catch up with everyone, and can hardly believe that Rob and I will be spending eight whole days together for the first time in a year.

Hoping this weekend gives you exactly what you need.

Wishing my American friends a very happy 4th of July today.

I hope it's warm and sunny where you are.
