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.

Every few months, I start to feel weird about posting Instagram recaps on my blog. For a while I had a bunch of photos lined up every thirty days on the dot, but recently I've been forgetting about it or waiting a few extra days, then narrowing down my collection of favorites to ten or less because I'm afraid I'm going to bore you with things you've already seen.

Also I have to say that I feel incredibly dull, nattering on about what it means to post photo collages on my blog every month, so I'm going to go ahead and stop. If you're bored, I apologize, but I'm going to keep on doing these because once they're done, I feel good about them. Also, I've been doing them since May of 2012, and I barely ever stick with things for this long, so we're going to ride this train for as long as possible.

With that, take a look at June. Hard to believe it's come and gone already.

1-3. We've had some pretty beautiful days around here.

4. I wrote all my bridesmaids cards. I loved it. They went all over, from New York City to South Korea.

5. Our bedroom in Minneapolis is really pretty.

6. I think I broke the Happy Hour Record in June. Is that a thing? Because it sounds awesome.

7-9. Was reunited with so many people I love for Melissa's wedding!

So tell me, how was your June?
