I feel like my week just started, but it is already Friday. I am not complaining at all. I hope this weekend is relaxing, NOT stressful and maybe a bit cooler. I am over the 100 degree temps.

Onto Friday favorites and happenings.

ONE. Remember a few Fridays back when I said we were looking for a new lamp for our front room? Well, we finally got one and it was one of the ones that I had shown you all. I went to West Elm last weekend and bought this lamp. It was 30% off, and even more beautiful in person. I couldn't pass it up. Plus, I scored a beautiful Nevada side table from a local vendor.

TWO. Last weekend was the Celebrity Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe, but sadly, this was the first year that I didn't go. Timing didn't work with everything that has happened lately. But my sister did get to go and she snagged a picture with Miles Teller. He is the one person I HAD to see this year, so my sister found him and got a picture with him. She also got pictures with Rob Riggle, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Jared Goff, Alex Smith and several others.

THREE. I am giving you guys a mini weekend update through here too. On Saturday, we were invited to our friends house for a little party. They made 15 pounds of pulled park, grilled corn, a fruit salad, rolls, dips, cocktails and ice cream. The girls had a blast playing with the other kids and we got to relax and spend some time with friends that we hadn't seen in awhile.

 Rory tried this beer that he thought was ok and I LOVED. Seriously, if you love sour beers, this beer is a must try.

FOUR. I received my first #nsale purchase which was the BP Raw Edge Tee. I have this tee in black already and since it was on sale for $11.90, I scooped up another one. I knew this one would stay in my closet, but I am getting nervous about the other 4 packages that are coming. Why is Nordstrom sending every piece separately? Seriously, all 5 items are coming in different packages. Plus I feel like I have been watching a lot of try-on sessions and many people are sending a bunch of their items back due to poor quality or not exactly what they wanted. I get two more packages tomorrow, so fingers crossed, they stay in my closet.

FIVE. I went back and forth on sharing some of the photos from Gail's memorial weekend, but then I figured since I shared a few on IG, I would share more here.

 Tuesday morning we filled up balloons, wrote sweet messages on them and sent them up in the sky to Gail.

SIX. Thank you all for being so patient with me reading blogs and answering your comments. I feel like I am finally catching up and hope to be more with it next week.

I am linking up with April, A Little Bit of Everything, Meet @ the Barre and Cup of Tea.

Have a great weekend!
