Rewards for Hard Work

I was way stressed yesterday.  Like, WAAAAAYYYY stressed.  I wasn't properly prepared for my update, so I ended up cramming 3 days work into one.  After the update, J promised me something fun.  I picked breakfast.  :)

We went on a breakfast date this morning.  It was lovely!  We had some yummy food (Oatmeal! I can't help it, I love it!) and yummy drink, did a little shopping, realized the weather was perfect for tennis, and went home and changed so we could play!  At this point I'm thinking, "I ADORE THIS DAY!"

(This is my new dress I promised a picture of.  Red and white gingham.  Sigh.)

We picked Hope up from school, decided to have a picnic at the park, and basically had the perfect day.  I want to marry this day.  ;))


I do want to thank all of you for helping me out with ANOTHER successful update!  You are the best!  Also, if anyone is interested, the dino is left.  He could use a loving home.  <3

You guys are fantastic.  Thanks for being my friends.  xo Katie

    Thank you!!!!!

    My dress says "Oh My Darling" at the top. I got it from Red Velvet Art, and I think Elsie embroidered it.
