Happy Friday! How was your week? This week was not my favorite. I woke in the wee hours of Tuesday to food poisoning. If you’ve had food poisoning before, you know that it’s just the worst. If you’ve never had it, consider yourself lucky. I’m not sure what brought it on, but my number one suspect is a salad kit that I ate on Monday. As the wise Charles Barkley would say, it was “turrible.” Thankfully, Josh worked from home for two days while I was on the mend. He’s still working crazy hours, but managed to keep our family fed and even took Quinn to her new dance class (which she absolutely loved 💃🏼). He really nailed the “in sickness and in health” part of our vows this week. I’ll spare you the details 🤢 Instead, let’s look back at last weekend, because it was a good one.
Two of my best friends came to visit and I showed them some of my favorite places around Denver. I met Sarah and Cindy in our freshman year of college and lucked out by becoming friends with them. We’ve seen each other through ups and downs and all the in betweens. I couldn’t love or appreciate them more. Gal pals for life! Even though I don’t get to see them often, we always pick up right where we left off. And fun is always had!
So much fun.
And let’s not forget who turned 4 months old this week…
This little cutie 👆🏼 He’s a squishy and happy little bubba.
Now, moving on to this weekend. You guys, Josh is actually going to have the weekend off (knock on wood 🌲). I’m. so. happy.
So let the good times commence. Time for Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend, all 🤗
