Flowers... Also Part of My Happy Place.

Flowers are part of my happy place. Yes, just like turquoise is. 

I love the variety of colors, shapes, textures, and personalities that flowers have. 

My husband loves Bird of Paradise. I love... well, I'm not sure what flower I love. I just love them. If I had to choose right now, I would say it's a toss up of Ranunculus, Fuchsias, Snap Dragon, and any kind of Poppy.

But here are some blue pretties!

What is your favorite flower(s)?

High Five for Friday

I'm linking up with Lauren (formerly, from my grey desk). 

One. Spring. 

Here in Eureka there are trees where instead of petals falling off of the flower, 

it's the bloom! Crazy! What are these called?

{so romantic.}

{not sure what this bloom is. cherry or pear?} 

Two. Coffee. 

This town (these towns, multiple small ones) has awesome coffee!! 

Mike and I are hooked. If you love coffee, please come visit us and we will introduce you.

{oh, coffee. I love you.} 

Three. Cute days! 

I love when I have a cute day. It's encouraging. It should also be noted that 

I only brought 2 t-shirts, 1 sweater, 1 long sleeved shirt, 1 cardigan, 2 tank tops, 1 pair of yoga pants, 1 pair of leggings, a set of PJs, 2 sweat shirts, 

2 scarfs and the necessary under things for the clothing brought up here. 

I am only up here for 3 weeks. I have done laundry 3 times. 

My weakness is shoes. Please don't ask how many I brought. 

{i love this attire. I'm glad this is going to be an everyday look for me.}

Four. Hiking Boots.

Speaking of shoes... I left my tennis shoes at home on purpose accident. So, I had to buy hiking boots. Oh my goodness. These are great! Good ankle support. Great traction. COMFORTABLE. While I was trying on another pair I kept one of these shoes on to compare. After I walked around the store a little bit I got to thinking, "Which shoe is on my left foot?... I guess that's the sign for which one I'm getting". Yes, they were that comfy. 

I'm glad to have a pair boots to take me hiking.

{hiking boots. many adventures shall be had and much shape shall I get into.} 

 {redwoods. they're tall.}

 {fallen trees.}

 {Hubby and I call this "the love nest"... Not because of us,

it just seems like it would be a good one. it's all hollowed out....}

{I love this photo.}

Five. Bridal Showers.

I co-hosted a bridal shower on Saturday for my future sis-in-law. I love Kristyn. She is a great girl, loves Jesus and is such a blessing. 

We had such a fun day of games, good food, friends and blessings!

{the only picture I got from the bridal shower. i'm bad at the photo part.} 

{pin wheel. crafting for the shower.}
