Yay, Friday! Today wraps up two weeks of nonstop presenting at work and the start of my life slowly becoming a little less hectic. My weekend is going to consist of some type of Christmas activity with Tim tonight, Saturday morning workout (gym friends, any ideas?), home friends Christmas party, and last-minute shopping/wrapping on Sunday. What are you guys up to? Any suggestions for a fun holiday date night? I would love to hear your ideas.

In the meantime, here are my faves from this week. Enjoy!
