weekend update: hawaii, pretty blooms, & wine tasting with the bachelor {iphone photo dump}

it’s been far too long since i have done one of my iphone photo dumps, i only know this because when i went in to make today’s, i had way too many pictures to include! if you follow me on instagram you may have seen some of these updates along the way, but if not, i’ll give you a quick recap as to what i’ve been up to over the past week or so.

*a flower delivery for no reason from pat made my week feel special

*i find four leaf clovers everywhere (which finally paid off, because if you scroll down in the pictures, you’ll see a diamond pendant that broke off my necklace from Pat, which i found lodged in the cement in our driveway 1 day after losing it!)

*we went to kauai for a little getaway, i wasn’t sure if i was more excited about a week by the beach or being able to eat goldfish

*we went ziplining one day on our trip, it was fun :)

*i may or may not have packed stripey straws in my beach bag to make tropical drinks a little more fun

*we came home and celebrated valentines day with a home-cooked meal and a pretty bloom. i decorated the place with little love notes for pat as a surprise for when he came home from work.

*i bit the bullet and booked my registration, flight and hotel for engage 12!! i. am. so. excited!

*my bruuuuuuuce tickets came in the mail

*i bought some pretty posies for a friday night in

*then… i went to a wine festival, donned a fake mustache, and my friend and i chatted with mr. bachelor himself for about 45 minutes. he and his friends are hilarious, and it turns out his mom & grandmother are from my hometown. so funny. oh and yes that’s his business card - ha! i also met tyler florence but took the mustache off for that one :)

hope you all had an amazing weekend, see you back here later in the week!
