Readers, let’s chat! What was the best part of your week? What’s up for the weekend?
The best part of my week was knowing that my Papou is okay. He was rushed to Brigham and Women’s last weekend after being found unresponsive on his porch. Things weren’t looking so good, and I am so thankful that however he pulled through, he did. He is my only living grandparent left, and I know that someone was definitely watching over our family this week (thank you, Yiayia). <3
Other highlights from the week include Brett and Jamie’s wedding weekend (okay, I guess that was last week), finally finishing my bridal shower thank you notes (boy do those take a long time to write!), and finally feeling like I’m improving in yoga class (winning). I also loved all the positive feedback from you guys about my post on Monday. If you missed it, check out this letter to a girl I overheard last week saying she was too fat to run.
This weekend we have my bestie’s 30th birthday party, and then a ton of wedding stuff to do. We’re in detail mode and less than two months out! Have a good one friends!
I can’t believe you’re less than 2 months out from the big day! Ahh!! It’ll be here before you know it. Thanks for the great reads this week!
I know, it’s crazy! I can’t believe it either. I’m excited!
So glad to read Friday Favorites! Have an awesome weekend. I am going to make the falafel next week. If you’re lucky, I’ll bring one into work for you 🙂
Can’t wait to see how it comes out!
So much goodness in your Friday Faves, Athena! I just read the ‘unpublish’ post and am heading to ‘aps for mental health.’ Thank you for including my quinoa salad! Have a beautiful weekend my dear!
Thanks so much, Traci! Glad you enjoyed the link ups. 🙂 Hope you had a great weekend!
So glad to hear your Papou is ok! Grandparents are so special, I lost mine when I was young (I’m a late in life child of a late in life child) but I really loved getting to know my husband’s grandparents.
Thanks, Kristen. I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know Tim’s grandmother too.
Hope you had a great weekend!
