  • WR: We didn't have anything planned this weekend but I had a surprise bridal shower! I had no idea, everyone did such a good job keeping it a secret. It was nice and small (only about ten people) and ohmygosh, we got so much stuff! Need to start on those thank you notes this week.

    NWR: My youngest brother had his high school graduation on Saturday so my family went out to eat. Went to a street fair with my sister and mom (apparently that was also the plan to get me to the shower and I was a pain to get in the car, lol.) Then, we ordered takeout yesterday because I had planned on us going shopping Sunday night but we didn't get to it because of my shower. 

    All in all, a pretty nice weekend.

    NWR: Went to the beach and relaxed with our puppy

    I love low key weekends.
