My blog is 3! Also, is 24 still considered early twenties??

Sunday might be my 24th birthday, but today is this little blogs 3rd birthday! Woohoo! It's birthday week all around these parts. I truly can't believe how much joy this blog has brought to my life! The genuine friendships that I've made are unreal, and looking back just a few years during our engagement nearly brings me to tears. I'm so thankful for this little space I call mine! Thanks to all of you who show up day after day to listen to my ramblings ;)

Speaking of! This is the first time in a long time that I've blogged 5 days in a row. I'm beat, you guys! I don't know how some of you do it all the time! A few things got cancelled this week so Caleb and I had a pretty low-key week and a whole lot of time to burn.

Tuesday night I came home from the grocery store after work to find a little surprise waiting on me to kick off my birthday week. That man knows the way to my heart!!

Then last night I was snap chatting with Becky and she told me to check my door! I saw a package waiting there and the cutest cookbook was inside! She knows me too well! ;) thankful that last year she hopped on a plane having never met me, and stayed the weekend! We explored the city, made french toast, and ran 5 miles! I can't wait for her to visit again so we can make a recipe from my new book! Birthday week rocks!!

If you follow me on instagram (which you should), you probably saw me mention the most delicious Panera salad that I got! It's the seasonal one (strawberry poppyseed w/ grilled chicken), and I immediately took to twitter to ask how to recreate it. A couple friends mentioned a few dressings that were similar but when I made a trip to Kroger I found THEE dressing!!! So insanely tasty and at only 30 calories a serving, you better believe its my new go-to.

For the past couple weeks I've tried to be a lot better at finding encouragement for friends, and for myself, and this little square of inspiration brought me so much joy. How amazing that God gives us a sunrise and sunset DAILY?!!

Also... for girls with next to no volume in their roots naturally, buy this STAT! It was less than $3 and stacks up next to those salon products, in my opinion. I'm definitely not one to spend a ton of cash on products (or buy them at all)...but this is worth it!!

Hope you all had a great week. I'm so excited for our weekend away with friends. It'll be nice to have no real obligations :) enjoy it, friends!!!
