Things I Love Friday (Again)

So.. here are some things that caught my eye this week on the internet:

1. First and foremost, I was blown away with Ellen Page's speech at the Time to Thrive conference. I am so happy for her! :)

2. I'm completely obsessed with the idea of filling the walls of our home with funny custom portraits of me and Rob. Is that weird? Or too conceited? I just think that it is fun. Obviously, when we have pets kids, we'll add a few of those in the mix, too. ;)

All of the above are ETSY finds. :)

4. I adore THIS article on not taking score.. This is an article that I really needed to read. :) I LOVE this line: "What if instead of keeping score we simply poured into each other as best we could and helped each other with whole, generous hearts?"

5. And the article above inspired me to find something else awesome about friendships: Click Here. If you stick around here for awhile, you will hear me discuss my amazing friendships SO MANY TIMES. I'm a person who truly believes that great friends are like rare stones. Words can't express how lucky I am to have some of the best friends in the universe. All of the people I consider my closest friends hold the qualities of AT LEAST 3 of the 5 types of friends in the article. Some are amazing enough to be all 5. I am so blessed.

6. We are working on booking our family photographs (a gift my sister and I gave my parents) with Just Be PhotoJennic's Jennifer Buck for this October. Her work seriously BLOWS ME AWAY! I can't wait to see what kind of awesome pictures she produces for our family! :)

7. A few wedding things inspiring me lately (because DUH):

This cake

.THOSE PANTS (and let's be honest - that entire wedding)

AND THIS. Because I'm only going to have this engaged time with Rob once....and it is the best season of my life (so far), and I just want to celebrate it with all of the Mrs. and "MGH" stuff I can find. :)

8. And lastly, my wonderful friend Andie's mom interviewed me for a local paper. She asked me about our engagement, my job, and my love of fitness. If you want to read all about it, go HERE. :)

Well, I've got to hit the sack now because we're going to see our first (and hopefully ONLY) venue tomorrow! I couldn't be more excited!!! :) Happy weekend, everyone!
