Hi, friends! I apologize for my absence over the past few days. I've been in Georgetown for my bachelorette weekend and am headed back to Minneapolis from Richmond tonight!

I wanted to pop in today and let you know that my new design is finished! Kelly Ann from Spirit & Haven is just the best. If you usually read this blog in a reader, you can hop out and take a look here. I hope you'll bear with me as I get back home and get acquainted with Squarespace. (I've been on Blogger forever and I'm never great with change, but it was time for one.)

In the meantime, tell me about your weekend! What's been going on with you guys? I have some really fun stuff coming up this week and I can't wait to show you what I've been up to!

This weekend was low-key and exactly what I needed. I've been a little more stressed out than I'd like to be lately, so we slept in on Saturday and drove through our neighborhood Caribou for coffee before going back home to make ourselves breakfast, read a wonderful article my mom sent from Roanoke about our wedding officiant (making us even more excited for May 3), and spend a large chunk of time on the couch.

I also managed to organize my work space and editorial calendar for the next few weeks, fold some laundry, and go to the gym twice, so it was the perfect mix of a Lazy Weekend and a Get Things Done Weekend.

On Sunday, I met my friend Daci for coffee and writing (we're taking those Old Friend from Far Away prompts seriously, you guys), followed by a quick walk through the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. And on my way back, I swung by our apartment to pick up Rob and we had a nice late lunch/early dinner at one of our favorite places. All in all, a great few days.

 

How was your weekend?

Happy Monday! Rob has the day off and his brother, Sam, is with us until this evening, so we're still weekend-ing today. 

The two of us had a wonderful, laid-back Valentine's Day together and then Sam got in on Saturday afternoon, so it's been a great few days. We're deep into season two of House of Cards (oh my goodness) and have hit up more happy hours in the past seventy-two hours than I can even count. How was your weekend? I hope you had a lovely one, too.

PS My first Old Friend from Far Away prompt response will be posted on Wednesday! I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
