~The Friday before Christmas~

Hello lovely readers! We made it to Friday...but not just any Friday! This is the Friday before Christmas which means the one place you will not find me is near a mall or shopping center!!!

Once again linking up with  A. Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm & Hello Happiness! for their 5 on Friday! 

Here are a few things that made my week just that much better!

~ONE~

This story about a Boston Marathon victim finding the love of his life from that terrible day! 

~TWO~

I unfortunately do not have a photo from the birthday celebrations of this lovely lady...but we were able to have some birthday drinks in the midst of a winter storm on Tuesday! 

Charlesmark Hotel

One of the things that makes shopping for other people during the holidays harder is that it's undoubtedly the only time you find stuff for yourself!!! Banana Republic was having amazing sales this week and I picked up two pairs of pants for $30!!!

Online it's not that great, but in store both pants were less than $16! 

~FOUR~

I have seen so many wonderful ways to wrap presents from other bloggers and pinterest and next year I just have to step my game up!!

~FIVE~

Gary and I took the two days leading up to NYE off! Which means time to relax and enjoy the day. I'm a sucker for the movies...I just love it! The best part will be going to see a movie during the day, when the theater is completely empty!! Hoping to see these two movies soon! 

We have two holiday parties tomorrow night and of course a sushi date tonight!! Hope ya'll have a great weekend! 

Thanks so much for reading!
