{things i love} thursday
june 11th

hi all!! its thursday again!!
thursdays are seriously my FAVORITE day...
even with all the house stuff too... 2 weeks ago today we drove by the house and the for sale sign was down. i was literally heartbroken. i thought for sure we'd missed out on our chance. so the next morning i called the realitor and turns out it hadn't sold... we still had a chance! so we got the ball rolling. a week ago our offer was accepted. and then last night was our first night in our new home. still in shock. still smitten. and so excited.
so thursdays are good.

here are some things online that make me happy today too. :D
