I’m gearing up for a marathon of a weekend. Just thinking about it makes me feel ecstatic and exhausted all at the same time. I’m not sure it gets much more eventful than throwing a bachelorette party on Derby Day, which also happens to be Cinco de Mayo. That’s some sort of trifecta, right? The stars are totally aligning for these celebrations to land on the same day.

But this also means the pressure’s on. If I throw a flop-of-a-party, that means I not only ruined Vanessa’s bachelorette party, but I also ruined Derby Day and Cinco de Mayo. Oy!

Last night, I ran around like a crazy girl, making sure everything is packed and ready for the weekend. I packed what I’m calling my “party suitcase” — a BIG roller board full of of decorations, games, tulle, and lots of pink and gold. I’m like a traveling party rolling that bad boy around.

Are YOU celebrating Derby Day/Cinco de Mayo?

TGIF. I had a great and productive week. First of all, because I know you’re DYING to know, Christopher and I got our taxes done! After all the stressing out, they were so easy — thanks to my mother-in-law, who let us use their copy of Turbo Tax (Thanks, Michele!!).

What else? Karin and I went and saw Hunger Games on Tuesday evening.  Holy moly it was good. I’ve got the book all loaded on my Nook ready to read now!

We don’t have many plans lined up for this weekend, but that’s the way I like it. And without further ado, here’s my week in photos:

It’s here! IT’S FRIDAY. I’m so excited about this weekend. I’m looking forward to enjoying a couple days in my hometown, going to my BFF from high school’s bridal shower, and hanging out with my parents.

I had a pretty good week, but it kind of went by slowly. On Thursday night, Christopher and I took a photography class that was geared towards our new camera model. We’re slowly learning how it works, but I’m already really happy with the photos we’ve taken. Here are some snapshots from this week!

Here are some random moments from the past couple weeks in photographs. Time has been just flying lately! And once March hits, it’s wedding season — and pretty much every weekend will be a shower, party, or wedding through May! Exciting, but busy times are ahead.
