What's Up Wednesday

*This post contains affiliate links.

Can I just say that I am super excited that we are inching closer and closer to Summer?! I love the summer. We spend our weekends at Lake Tahoe basking in the sun and enjoying so many BBQ's. The end of May means we are just that much closer to Summer!!! 

What's Up Wednesday

WHAT WE ARE EATING THIS WEEK...

Sunday: Out camping we had a big pot luck with smoked tri-tip. It was amazing!
Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Beef enchiladas with Mexican rice
Wednesday: Korean beef bowls
Thursday: Take-out. I am getting a pedicure for my sisters wedding.
Friday: Take-out. I am getting my hair done in prep of my sisters wedding.
Saturday: Grilling something in Graeagle.

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...

My own wedding. My sister is getting married in 10 days and I can't believe that Rory and I are coming up on our 5 year wedding anniversary. Tonight we have my sister's final (I think) dress fitting which means it is getting real.

Sisters (and now I get to be her bridesmaid)

WHAT I'M LOVING...

Well I recently got the No Poreblem and I LOVE it. It goes on smoothly, doesn't feel heavy at all and gives my foundation an airbrushed look. Seriously, buy this stuff. I was hesitant, but now I need it as my base.

The cardigan that I talk way too much about. I am wearing it on repeat and I need all of the colors.

My new bow sandals from ON. They are super cute, comfy and such a great price.
WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...

We celebrated Mother's Day, I went to my sister's Bachelorette weekend getaway and we have been spending as much time outside and at the park. May went by super quickly, but what month doesn't fly by.

WHAT I'M DREADING...

There isn't much to dread when Summer is on its way.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON...

Trying to get things together for our yard/garage sale, helping my sister with any last minute crafts for her wedding, trying a new workout routine and working on a new blog design.

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT...

Our first Graeagle trip of the year, my sister's wedding and lake/beach days!!

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING...

So I finally finished The Wife Between Us. I know, took me like a million months to finish it. It's not that I didn't like it, but it hadn't pulled me in until I got farther in the book. I did enjoy it, but it wasn't my favorite. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.  Now I am reading The Kind Worth Killing and I like it so far. It is about a man who is getting ready to fly from London to Boston when he meets a woman in the airport lounge. They get to talking and Ted tells Lily that his wife has been cheating on him and he just found out. Ted jokes that he wants to kill his wife and Lily wants to help him. It is seriously really good so far.

As for TV, I have been watching the same things, but some of them finished their seasons: Riverdale, Grey's Anatomy, Silicon Valley, The Americans, Famous in Love, Evil Genius, 13 Reasons Why season 2, Bachelorette and West World. I am super excited for the Affair to start next month.

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...

Sirius XM. Any podcasts to recommend?

WHAT I'M WEARING...

Summery clothes. I have been wearing sandals on the regular other than when it has been raining.

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...

Saturday is my FIL's birthday, so we are celebrating him and going to Graeagle for our first trip of the year!!!


WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH...

Pretty much the same things as what I am excited about. Graeagle, my sisters wedding and some beach time in between.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW...

Well, my team just got another big case and I am going back to Europe. We are thinking in August or September, but we shall see. I can't wait to share more details on that later.


BONUS: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER SALAD?

I am all about the caprese salad. Especially with a big juicy heirloom tomato and local balsamic vinegar.

  3. I feel like weddings always make me reminisce about ours as well--it's such a nice time to reflect on such a special day. Now, also, whenever I see/hear people talk about pregnancy it's a fun reminder of that time as well.
    Europe again! Nice!!!

    1. Yes it is. I can't believe Rory and I are coming up to our 5 year wedding anniversary and my sister is about to get married. Just crazy that my baby sister is old enough to get married. Ha. Oh yes. I definitely feel the same way when I read about pregnancy.
