mini vacay

after a long week at work i was so excited to escape for the weekend. with marc heading to vegas, i figured it would be the perfect time to go visit my mom and do a little wedding planning! the weather was warm and sunny all weekend. i went and tried on bridesmaid dresses - this has been the hardest thing for me to find/pick out. i finally [think] i have found the best dresses for my ladies.

every time my mom and i get together we usually end up treating ourselves to p.f. changs - my favorite! however, we tried the new crispy korean chicken wings and i would not recommend them. if you are new to the place i do highly recommend the crab wontons, lettuce wraps, and tuna tataki - these have never failed me! i could not leave the beach without some pizza from mellow mushroom - it is amazeballs!

we got free tickets to the dickens christmas show and decided to spend our sunday afternoon breezing through it. we got lots of ideas for christmas decor - plan on crafting some of those next weekend! i also picked up this cute wine glass and garden flag.

 this will be great when getting cozy next to the fire and cheering on some tarheel basketball!

i can not wait to hang this cute guy out for christmas!
