this cute little Dwell Studio hippo collection that has become available through Target. although I'm not pregnant, I might pull the plug on some of the nursery items, because I know I'll be sad if I end up knocked up and it's sold out. you guys know how much I love hippos. I feel like it's meant to be.

as always, the kittens. they are getting SO big and rambunctious. they are each forming their own little personalities, and I've really enjoyed watching them grow up over the last 5 weeks and having the ability to be a part of the little kittencam community. I'll definitely be sad on the day they're all adopted and gone.

this pillow find at Copy Cat Chic. love imperial trellis right now and the navy would look awesome in our bedroom.

this cute elephant themed baby shower. Kaley's baby shower for little Rhys is officially in the works and I am loving the inspiration I'm finding out there... I plan on DIYing almost all of the paper and decor. I can't wait to put all my (with Kaley's collaboration/approval, of course, haha) ideas in place and throw an amazing party for an amazing friend!

I booked our anniversary vacation this week, and I cannot wait to be out of here and on a beach for a week. I found a place in Myrtle Beach for roughly $800 for the week... for an ocean front condo with a full kitchen and pool during peak season, that's an amazing price. I still have to wait another two and a half months (or 79 days), but who's counting?

also? I can't believe we've been married almost 2 years. INSANITY.

my copy of the new Sookie book arrived last night. I was so excited that I made the decision to take a break from reading Uglies to pick it up. originally I was going to wait for the paperback to be released, but I keep reading awesome reviews and couldn't wait any longer to have it in my hands. will update when I finish... which could be tonight.
