h54f!!

hey y'all! it's friday (woop woop) and i am excited for the weekend! this week has straight up flown by. and, to be honest, it's been a bit of a hard week. just one of those weeks... i'll spare you the emotional details of my life, but even amidst what has been a somewhat down week, god still blesses and i am alive to tell about said blessings! today, i'm linking up with lauren to bring you the top 5 highlights of my week!

5. speaking of hard weeks... don't you just love it when god speaks in the midst of a challenge? i sure do. and he spoke so clearly to me yesterday through my brand new devotional. like i literally hadn't even got it out of the shipping box. i pulled it out and the day's devotional was 100% for me. so, for that reason alone, i highly recommend 'jesus calling' by sarah young. check it out!!

4. hillsong has been one of grant & i's favorite band for awhile now. we saw them in concert several times while we lived in florida and always enjoyed the show (well... except for that one time i went at like 8 mos pregnant w ridiculously swollen feet...). we just bought tickets (1/2 off on groupon!!!!) to see them in a couple weeks & i'm already excited! it's a date night with our really good friends AND it's gonna be a great concert! win-win!!

3. i've been a major slacker with keeping my nails looking fresh. probably has something to do with a crazy toddler and laziness. it just takes time and energy. after running with a little guy all day, my energy is slim in the evening. yesterday, i decided to take a chunk of nap time to git r done. this is 'mint candy apple' by essie. shoes & nails too much??? hahaha!

2. this happens to be my 50th post and i noticed the other day that this little blog of mine has had 2,500 page views! say what???? when i saw that, i could barely believe it. i don't pay too much attention to these numbers cause i don't want the pressure and want to enjoy this online diary. i write for me, but i'd be lying if i didn't say that i write for you, too. i honestly don't know who a lot of those 2500 views would have been, so say hello next time you stop by, k?? :) here's to many more...

1. a friend of mine just listed their house for sale and her boys were outgrowing a lot of outdoor toys that she reallllly didn't want to move to their next house. she casually asked if holden would like their police car cozy coupe or a sand & water table. i couldn't say yes quick enough!!! i finally got around to setting up the table in our backyard last night and holden seriously had such a blast with it! hopefully, this will provide hours of entertainment this summer!

did you have a good week? or maybe not the best week in the world (like me)?! link up with lauren & i and find your top 5 moments!!
