[long] Weekend Recap: 5/24-5/26

Where do I even start?

This weekend [and a Monday] was absolutely fabulous y'all. 

Friday technically isn't part of the weekend but since we got off work early it gets a pass. 

Friday morning I got coffee with my Catholic soul sister Ashley who was in town from Knoxville for work. 

We are two tall chi tea lattes in a pod I tell you.

We were off work at 2:30, let Memorial Weekend begin! 

Saturday was finally FLEA MARKET day!! Mom and I were parked and through the gates by 9am #dedicated. We were on a mission!

My [early] birthday present this year was sweet goodies for my porch.

Mom and I had been bouncing ideas around for months and it all came together by 2pm that day!

First stop: the cutest red benches that perfectly match my front door!

After wandering some more booths and a tad more people watching we decided to just go for it and headed to the nearest Home Depot. After lining up a couple combination of flowers and taking pictures, but no real winners we headed back downtown with four green flower pots for me and a Black Eyed Susan for mom.

FF to 20 min later when we were back in the car heading back to Home Depot to get four more Black Eyed Susans for me. Per usual mom was a genius and put her Black Eyed Susan in one of my pots just to see how it would look and it was love at first sight.

Now I need to have a porch party! 

Sunday was lazy but good. Dad and Joe came downtown and fixed my sink along with double checking my AC unit [after it leaked through my bathroom ceiling last summer.] I bummed around the house for a couple hours then packed up my bathing suit, Clarisonic, and Steeler blanket and headed to River Chase to finish out the long weekend.

Monday was heavenly.

Mom, Sophie, and I camped out by the pool for the afternoon and soaked up every ounce of sun we could.

Life does not get much better than this. 

I truly do live a blessed life.

Land of the free because of the brave.
