fairytale.

Oh, what a fairytale. I didn't set my alarm, but was thrilled when Saylor woke me at 5am (I am convinced she knew it was royal wedding time!). I woke up my hubs immediately as I searched frantically for the remote. I turned it on right in time to see the Queen arriving. I loved every minute of it. The beautiful people filing in. The hats. The music (made me want to cry!). The precious little girls and boys in uniform. Darling Pippa, helping her sister align her dress just right. Prince Harry acting like such a little brother. And the ceremony was perfection. 

And Kate, she is just stunning. The dress was perfect. So classic. She is such a beauty.

Cheers to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

Lots of randoms!

- My little angel is growing up so fast. I can't believe we are a few weeks shy of her being 6 months old. Makes this momma want to sob and smile at the same time. I already miss her being so tiny. It went by too fast, but I love each new moment I have with her. She is starting to try to sit up on her own and loves to talk and giggle. She has no interest in crawling (which I find quite hilarious!) and would rather me just tote her around on my hip all day. Tough life, huh? :)
- In an effort to lose the remaining baby weight (argh!), my friend and I are training for a mini-triathlon in July. I think I drank some crazy juice. We are following a 13 week training guide, with 1-2 days off per week. Lots of swimming, biking and running are in my future. I, personally, am not aiming for a time. My goal is just to finish the thing! Ha!

- We have been traveling a lot lately and will continue to do so over the next few months. My brother is getting married in June and we have various showers and events throughout the next 8 weeks. I love having a reason to visit Greensboro!

- I am in my 3rd week of my newest Bible study, Jonah - Navigating a Life Interrupted. I have found it so interesting how the Lord is using the story of Jonah to remind us that even though we think God is interrupting our perfect plans (or so we think!), it is really a divine intervention on God's part, as He has something so much greater in store for us. Our God is always faithful to His promises. 

- I went to a coupon class the other night, and wow, I am so overwhelmed. Has anyone watched Extreme Couponing? That show just blows my mind. I'm looking for ways to lower our grocery bill and am thinking of trying this coupon thing out. Any tips? I sure need all the help I can get. 

I am sure I have more random things floating around my head, but I just looked up and realized it's time to wake the girls from their naps and head to the Little Gym. Adios, friends. Hope you're having a great week!

swoon.

wall of shoes? yes, please.
