Have a Lovely Weekend

Are you excited for a three-day weekend…and Valentine’s Day?

I know I am. It’s been especially crazy around here lately. And I’ll finally be able to reveal why next week. Finally. (Hint, hint.)

Needless to say, my head has been spinning like that little girl’s in The Exorcist (or was it Poltergeist?), but I’m going to try to…deep breath…slow down and enjoy Modernism Week with my Fred Baby and my Fashion Modernism Week bestie.

I always get reflective around this time, and if you read our love story yesterday you know why. But as I think back to our wedding day nine years ago this coming Wednesday, February 18^th, it’s really interesting to see how many things are coming full-circle right now. It’s pretty eerie, but, unlike in The Exorcist, in the best, non-demonic way.

On that note, some Valentine’s weekend reading:

Our love story. I’d love to hear yours…

I love Dee’s Tell Me Your Love Story series. Be on the lookout for my story next (it’s not what I shared yesterday). Bonus: You can win this print.
