Dear Lauren and Lauren,

dress: banana republic outlet  belt: old navy  necklace: world market

I went to World Market last weekend to buy Chris some olives, cheese and crackers for his birthday.
(Yep, we roll out the expensive gifts around here for birthdays.)

And I found this necklace for $6.00.  I love it! 

I am SO excited for this wedding weekend ahead!

It's funny because I almost feel like I've been more involved in your wedding Lauren then in my own.  Maybe that's not true and maybe I don't remember well enough since it was seven years ago.  But I was also pretty much a baby when I got married and my mom helped me an unbelievable amount, so maybe it is true.  

Either way I've been looking forward to this weekend for a long time!

Lauren I can't wait to see you and give you a huge hug tomorrow night.  

Lauren in law you will make a stunning bride and I can't wait to see you marry my brother.  

Getting to be with both of my Laurens is right up top on my happy scale. 

Love you both! 

Love,

1.  I bought these shoes last weekend and have worn them at least three times this week.  I love them. 

2.  I made this recipe this week.  BLT Pasta Salad. 

warmer weather = more salad recipes for dinner

3. Last week my mom and I made favors for Jacob and Lauren's wedding.

By the 400th pretzel we got pretty good at it. 

We put two together in a bag with a ribbon.  Wish I would've taken a picture of the finished product!

4. Isn't this idea the cutest?

This weekend, I am going to try to make one of these signs for my nephew Travis to carry down the aisle for my brother's wedding.  

5.  We've got some big dates coming up in the next few weeks.  

Chris' 30th birthday is Saturday.

My brother's wedding is next weekend.

Our 7 year anniversary is right after that.

Lots to look forward to! 

Have a great weekend!
