things of today.

today:

i hate goodbyes. 

{saying goodbye to my parents is always the hardest thing.}

i'm going to sip on a warm drink.

i'm planning on a big cuddle session with my pup.

i'm wearing this pair of boots.

{boots: one of my favorite perks to fall's weather.}

i'm missing crew. a lot. 

i'd give anything to sleep in.

i'm longing for a pair of polka dot tights. 

i'm dreading going to school. {this is very unlike me.}

my nails are nail polish-less. this is rare, i tell you. 

i'm hungry for a good book.

i'd hang out with her, if we lived in the same state. 

i'm in love with lovebird. 

{but technically that's every day, not just today.}

i'm oh-so tired. 

i could spend the rest of my life in this beautiful season. 

i'm thankful for my parents. 

{mom & dad: thank you for this incredible week - and for all you did for us. i love you.} 

what's your today?

happy friday, by the way.

outweighing tiredness.

ah! a whole week has come and gone,

and i only managed to post a couple of times.

life was awfully crazy this past week.

we, as ballerina's call it: "theater week."

meaning, we live at the theater for the week.

nothing but dress rehearsals, make-up and tiredness. 

i debated moving an air mattress into my dressing room-

i was that tired at the end of each night.

{which explains the lack of blog posts. ops!}

on top of many hours at the theater,

being a mum to our new pup was quite tiring in itself.

if i wasn't out walking him or playing with him,

i was spending all my minutes thinking about {and adoring} him.

or... worried that he was okay in his kennel all alone at home.

puppies are the best thing in the world- hands down.

but, they do take tiredness to a new level. 

lastly, on top of all of that, my parents came into town on thursday.

it's always the biggest treat when they visit.

they met their first grandson {aka our pup},

went to my performance {they've always been my number one fans},

and we all enjoyed a day in gorgeous yosemite.

it was a week to remember.

nothing beats the thrill of performing,

hugs from your parents {who live too far away},

and cuddling a ball of soft puppy fur. 

every ounce of tiredness was forgotten thanks to these great things.

happiness is love, life and family.

{and of course- husbands, ballet and puppies.}

hope you had a lovely weekend.

i'll be catching up {on lots} of your fun posts from last week.

xoxo
