{7 pretty things on Sunday}

Filed Under: 7 pretty things

Zack and I had so many adventures this weekend, I feel like a young chick again ;] These last few months of not having a car have been a little crazy at times. Most days are OK, but the days where I could really use some wheels to get around have driven me crazy (!!!). We’re able to take the bus for most things, which is why we waited so long to buy another car, but it’s time for Gus Gus to have a car. We are SOCLOSE to signing the paperwork for our new [used] car, I can hardly stand it. We found it over the weekend and ohhhhh, I’m excited! It is so nice and clean, and hopefully it’ll be the perfect Jeep for our adventures.

Also over the weekend Zack and I snuck away to this quaint little town called Stillwater. We stayed at a B&B and celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary, which is Tuesday, June 7th ♥. How has it been 3 years already?! Tonight at dinner I prayed and Zack spoke up at the end and thanked God for the last 3 years of marriage and also for us dating for 7 years now. He is so sweet ~ I’m very lucky to have him :]

Here’s my list of 7 pretty things… All pics are from the weekend. I’ll share more on our trip to Stillwater soon! xoxo

Getting ready in our room Saturday night. I love the round mirror & window!

Windblown hair, summer clothes, sweet smiles…

Pretty crafting accessories & books, from Rose Mille.

Junior Miss Rhinestone Setter Kit ~ umm, cutest thing ever! [found at an antique shop]

Beautiful antique jewelry… [found at an antique shop]

Afternoon dates are so so so much fun!

The shadow of a couple in love ;]

PS. Bauer had his first overnight trip Saturday night while Zack and I were away. Thanks to our friends Cindy & Nick for taking our pup! Bauer feel asleep on the way home and has slept pretty much since. Hah!

Share with us something pretty from your weekend!

    Stillwater is so fun! We’ve done a 1-night B&B stay there the last two summers while relatives watch the littles. Glad you guys got to get away, too! And TELL ME you bought that little kit to start blinging out some GUSSY bags. ;)

    Happy anniversary!! I’ve never been to Stillwater~ looks amazing!! We spent this last weekend at the cutest little cabin on Grahms Island in Devils Lake..spent the day fishing( even though I’m not a fisher, I was a trooper for my fiancé) My puppies had to stay with the grandparents and have been sleeping since we’ve been home too~ so, they understand how Bauer feels;)
