Things That Make Me Smile [Photos]

Friday marked my 25th birthday - one I have honestly been dreading. But the sight of some of my sweet cards helped brighten it a little.

A few of my fabulous gifts: bangles from my BFF Jenna; gift cards from my brother and parents; and the cutest one of all - homemade concert tickets my hubby created since the real ones aren't here yet. We're going to Incubus in October!

I was at home in North Carolina this weekend and got to spend some quality time with my entire family - I miss them so much! Although we forgot to take a family photo I squeezed one in with my mom!

While at home we had Jenna's bridal shower & bachelorette weekend. I had the most delicious cake I've ever tasted at the shower. Had to break my diet plan for this baby. YUM.

Jen wanted a relaxed weekend for her bach festivities. So we spent the time at my family's beach house in Topsail. It's one of my favorite places and I can actually get into the ocean!

I've been so busy with my new job - sorry posts have been sparse! Happy Tuesday!
