Happy {Lovely} Weekend!

Can you believe the weekend is here again already? This week seemed to fly by, and I feel like every Friday lately has surprised me by coming so quickly. A week from now all of my work for my final grad classes will be turned in, and I'll be getting ready for my first weekend without homework in a very long time. Until then though, this weekend (and next week), will be busy ones!

This morning I was reading on the train (as usual) and the next thing I knew we were pulling into the stop after my stop. It's a good thing I realized it when I did, otherwise my morning could have been drastically different. As it was though, I got to walk by the reflecting pool and snap a picture of the pretty trees next to it - just a little bit of a shade on a warm summer morning.
This weekend Josh and I are added down to NJ for the weekend for some wedding/engagement related activities - mainly an engagement brunch my mom is throwing Josh and I! We're excited to have a fantastic weekend, and are looking forward to picking Nash up from the boarder on Sunday night and getting home in time to watch the Mad Men season finale! Are you as excited as we are?
If you have a little bit of time this weekend, here are a few things I've been loving this week...
beautiful letter from a dad to his daughter
an oldie, but a goodie - and it always makes me cry 
this light pasta recipe is definitely going to turn up in my apartment soon
would you order your dinner from here? (i would!)
this is real. i don't know why i'm shocked, but i am
Have a happy {lovely} weekend!
