Good Monday morning! I hope your weekend was everything you hoped it would be. We had a nice one here, beautifully ordinary and quiet. There was mass, takeout fish tacos, basketball, movies, and some swimming, too. Forgive my current obsession with sunrise photos. It's just that each one is prettier than the one that came before; I can't help myself.
Friday...
Saturday.
See what I mean? Heather and Dave packed up and headed for home, but before they did, we had fun shopping in the sweetest little town nearby. Shoutout to my Madison for somehow capturing a photo of Steve and me where I don't look unnaturally excited and awkward.
And she also managed to get a good one of me and Heather too!

Although I actually like this one better. In our quest for perfection, we tend to look for those perfectly posed photos to save and delete the ones that, while not picture-perfect, actually capture real-life moments. Someday, when I look back at this photo, I will see the total joy this friendship brings. So, a reminder to myself: Document life as it is sometimes. Not how you think it should look.
And now I'm off to start my day. We will tidy up here, head home to the house, and settle in for dinner and the finale of Grant's Bachelor Season! Will he find the love of his life after six weeks of mindless chatting and random makeout sessions? How will he ever choose between the TWO women he is in LOVE with in time to propose to one? I don't know about you, but I am excited to find out tonight! ( Clearly, I watch this show with a significant amount of cynicism and snark, but it is entertaining, and every so often, it works, so there's that. )
I'm leaving you with this because someone knows exactly how I feel and was able to put it into words far better than I could.

Have a cozy Monday, my friends.
