Friday Loves

Happy Friday! 

I have seen this idea on loads of other blogs and think its lovely. Here are five things that are making me happy this week.

1. My Birthday was this week and I was able so see both my in-laws and my family. Lane is driving up to Atlanta today we will celebrate this weekend in Columbus. My wonderful dad got the cake from Alons in Atlanta, and it is amazing.

2. As a Birthday gift my mom got me a few Atlanta-themed coasters. I have seen these in galleries all over the city, and have wanted to get a few before we moved. I am so excited about them. It is such a small thing, but will be a great reminder of home in the frozen north. If anyone needs a great gift for an Atlanta friend, these are wonderful. I know they sell them at Heliotrope in Decatur and Young Blood Gallery in Poncy Highlands.

3. Jason Wu for Target came out last weekend. I was not nearly motivated enough to go when Target opened last Sunday. Luckily for me, the only piece I really wanted was available on Target's website. The black pleated chiffon skirt is currently on it's way to my hot little hands.

4. A miracle happened on Wednesday. I was in and out of the DMV in ONE hour. I had to register our car and finish changing my name. I was convinced it would be a four hour ordeal, or that I wouldn't have all the right paper work. God must have been giving me a birthday present, because the woman behind the counter was also a military wife. She was the most wonderful pleasant DMV worker I have ever met. Everything went smoothly, and soon I was on my way back. I am so relieved to have those two things taken care of. Now we have plates for our gorgeous new Subaru Outback.

5. I finally finished George R.R Martin's Dance With Dragons. I was chugging along for days trying to finish this book, and finally last night I turned the last page. I love the Song of Ice and Fire series, but not so excited about waiting for years for the next one.  I have to wait a few days until Lane finishes. I have a terrible habit of forgetting where he is in the book, and ruining the end. So not talking about it until he is totally done.

I am heading back to Columbus this weekend and entering packing insanity. We are in the final countdown before the move. I predict this week will contain at least four calls to housing, five battles with packing tape, and hopefully no broken dishes.
