Is there a word that can sum up how elated I’ve felt over these past few days?

My best friend and other half got engaged to the man of her dreams last weekend and, in a couple of short weeks, the wedding festivities will officially be underway as I take myself back to Iowa for her big party. To say I’m overwhelmingly excited to celebrate with my family and friends is a bit of an understatement, even if it’s only for two days. Oh, and you can bet I’ll be paying a visit to my favorite restaurant for a carafe of red sangria and some delicious black and white pizza!

Until then, I’ll be venturing out to the Old Town farmer’s market for some local goodies while the weather is still decently tolerable, heading up to Sedona for a few scenic hikes with Andrew, as well as working on a handful of exciting projects for the blog.

Happy Friday, everyone!
