happy hearts.

recently I haven't been spending too much time in the blogging world. I've entirely slacked on my own blog - but honestly haven't spent much time looking at others either. but i think i'm back -- hopefully!! :)

I'm going to pick up where I left of.. about 1.5 months ago!

[March 12-19]

My sweet boyfriend came to Texas for spring break. We did lots of really awesome Texas-y things - like visit the stockyards in Ft. Worth & the Alamo in San Antonio.

I think he's finally starting to understand Texas pride! :)

[April 31 - 2]

I was fortunate enough to spend lots of best friend bonding time with Hol. It truly was a fairy tale weekend. She took her bridal portraits, which are absolutely stunning & breathtaking, on Thursday and her precious friend Amy hosted a bridal shower for her on Saturday!! We made lots of life long memories. Her life brings endless joy & happiness to my own!

Well, my precious boyfriend surprised me again!

I truly love receiving flowers in the mail from Jase.

These have turned out to be the prettiest ones yet - still gorgeous!

He always includes the cutest notes too!

Toni officially asked me to be her maid of honor!! YIPPEE!!

she introduced all of us to Dara Marie's and their cookies have become our obsession (quite an unfortunate situation, actually) but I was thrilled to see the that divine brown bag of chocolatey goodness && the sweetest little glittery card of two TWINS! she wrote the kindest words inside the card.

Tonight I write this with a really joyful & full heart thinking about how gracious the Lord has been to me in 2011. I am continually in awe of His goodness & faithfulness. He continues to pursue my heart and I delight in his sweet gifts such as friends, flowers, & fairytale weddings for my two best friends I could have ever asked for!
