i got surprised today with this bouquet of flowers

as a belated birthday present from my wonderful mother-in-law!!

dean, whitney and myself got these yummy goodies!!

they just happened to be having a special sale

and snacks on my birthday!

LIVE. LOVE. LOFT.

oh how i love this store..

especially with a sale on my birthday : )

my sister got me a giftcard and i was able

to get a cute top and sweater!!

this past weekend i turned the big 25.

i'm glad i was able to spend it with those

whom i love and care about so much.

dean and i were so grateful for my sister

and her husband reed for letting us stay with them.

we love coming to portland and hanging out

with them and precious little tayvee.

it was so good getting to see my good friends

shannon and rachel also while i was home (pictured above)

its always a good time coming home, getting bubble tea

and just hanging out... and of course doing some shopping!!

i finally found chai k-cups.

They're back and now i am too.
