a dinner & movie date:
i have been feeling a bit down so i asked tom if we could do a little date night. we haven't done one in a while and it was so much fun. we went to a new pub and they had really yummy locally sourced food and of course yummy beer too. we popped in the shop next door and i snatched up a cute little shirt and then we headed over to watch Moonrise Kingdom. SO GOOD! i think my favorite wes anderson movie to date. if you haven't seen it yet, GO.....NOW!
a bike ride to get coffee and an unexpected surprise: a ukulele player!:
we stayed and finished our coffee and listened to him, he was actually really good!
getting business done:
i made sure i got a lot of work done this weekend. i just need to add my name to the banner for my business card, reformat the size in photoshop and then figure out where i want to get them printed. the wedding invitations i am working on should be wrapped up this week. i think they are gonna turn out really cute. i will share when they are complete! i also worked on a website for tom. he is getting asked to do a bunch of side work, so we are making him business cards too but started with a website too! exciting!!!
sun, wine, cherries and a good book:
the sun finally came out so tom and i took advantage and went to the park literally across the street from our house. we brought some cherries, left over wine and our books and basked in the sun. it was really nice. plus there was a concert going on in the park so you could faintly hear the music and still read at the same time. i am almost done with the first book of the lord of the rings! i love fantasy so much!
local beer:

| enjoying the new shirt i got on our dinner/movie date |
the local brewery by our house,
drakes, was having a 1 year anniversary party so tom and i rode our bikes out and grabbed a few beers, then we took the shoreline way home. it was really pretty to ride at night and ride along the shore and wetlands. plus there were no cars which makes a night time bike ride better!
we both had a really great weekend, it was a nice balance of work and play which i needed. since i am not feeling a 100% myself lately, it was important for me to have somewhat of a chill weekend. i am so grateful to have tom in my life. he really loves me and i couldn't ask for a better friend and partner in life. thanks, tom for always being there when i need you and for always knowing how to cheer me up!
xo,
