1.  if you aren’t yet a fan of my facebook page you should do so here.  why, you ask? because i said so there are going to be some really exciting cha cha cha changes and specials coming up over the next few weeks and you want to be the first to know about it.  trust me.

2.  this week i planted a garden in my front yard.  it’s PRETTY.  and the cherry blossom tree is blooming beautifully as well.  i LOVE spring!

3.  tomorrow is my housewarming party!  finally!  after 7 months of owning a house we are having a housewarming party.

4.  i am absolutely addicted to fruit2day, 100% juice with real fruit bits in it!  it’s so yummy, and a healthy snack. -siiiiiigh- on that note, i HATE working out.

5.  tomorrow (before the party!) i have an engagement session, part 2 with veronica and jonathan!  it’s going to be fabulous, and they’re going to rock it again!  can’t wait!

and because a post is not complete without a photo:  yesterday was my grandmother’s (who DOES NOT look like a grandmother, mind you) birthday!  so wish her a happy birthday, and have a magnificent weekend!

Shannon Kelley (one of my personal favorite photographers!  She’s in Knoxville [again, TN represent!] and she does unique and fun weddings and portraits. <3 her!) does five for friday (10 for tuesday, etc.) and she had a how-to guide on her website, so I’m following it!  I think this is a great idea, and I always have so many issues keeping my blog updated, unfortunately.

Today’s theme is favorites! I’m a big lover of all things HAPPY; laughing, music, dancing…these are things you can catch me randomly doing for the heck of it in my kitchen in the morning.

1. SUNSHINE.  Spring has almost certainly sprung, yesterday the high was 55, today is similar and tomorrow the high is 63!  The tree and bushes that adorn our front yard are blooming and the grass is turning green! Speaking of beautiful weather for tomorrow, I have an engagement session, so be watching out for that update as well!

2. Starbucks iced chai. Oh my god. My favorite!  In honor of spring, I’ve been purchasing iced coffee’s and tea’s from starbucks.  And the iced chai latte is always my personal favorite.

3. My iPod.  It is almost always attached to me, or playing music.  As a matter of fact, it’s attached to the iHome right now and it’s playing “Unfinished Memories” by Eowyn.  I don’t know how many people in the internet world knows, but I am a musician.  I live and breathe music, actually that’s a cliche and an understatement.  It’s worse than that though, I am addicted to musicals and broadway.  I’ve got just about every soundtrack imaginable (including disney!) on my iPod currently.  So if you can’t handle life being a musical, don’t hang out with me!

4. The Wicked pop-up book.  I bought this yesterday.  It is EPIC.  Enough said. Favorite.

5. The book “14,000 Things to be Happy about” – is so random.  It makes me happy!  Everyone should own this book, and have it as a reminder of why you should cherish every single day.  Life is happy.  Life is what you make of it. I love life!  You should too.
