5 on Friday!

Happy Friday! This week was so nice knowing we had an entire obligation-free weekend ahead of us! Although we got some bad news about Caleb's car last night, we are trying to stay optimistic and explore our options in the meantime. So its the perfect time to look at the top 5 highlights from my week (aside from the fact that Katy Perry came out with a surprise single today!!!!)!

1 || Getting to visit our best friends this week and seeing our adorable, sweet nephew! Like I said on instagram, being Aunt Kayla & Uncle Caleb is basically the best thing ever. We are so lucky to live so close to them. It was so fun chatting with them once Tyler went to bed. Talking about life, our futures, clothes and everything in between really.

2 || When my brother called me just to say he misses us. I love that kid. I'm so thankful he isn't leaving the state for college or I'd probably cry for days.

3 || Long walks with my man equals random Pokemon being caught on my face. 

4 || Delivering a recent wedding and getting the sweetest text from the bride of their reactions. We have the coolest job! This groom cried a few times this wedding day and it was always at the sight of his bride. I mean... it was the sweetest thing ever.

5 || NEEDTOBREATHE's album came out today! O-M-G! Get it now!! This band is amazing. Caleb and I have been following them since we were dating in 2009 and they've stolen our hearts. We've been lucky enough to catch them in concert a couple times and hope we'll get to see them again soon!

I am hoping we can figure out this car situation ASAP so we aren't spending our first bit of free time stressing over the whole situation! Good vibes, please! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend planned! :)

I'm back!!! Caleb and I had an incredible vacation last week...and if you couldn't tell, we really needed it. Life was getting a little crazy, and he and I needed some time away like that. I immediately dove back into photography edits once we returned home, so I don't have any sort of "vacation recap" yet, but that's okay. Baby steps :)

One thing I'm SO happy about, though? I made time to run on vacation. Okay, it was only ONCE. But I got to finally use my new running watch (other than on the treadmill) and omg, I'm obsessed. It had been a good 3 weeks since I'd hit the pavement and thankfully I picked right up where I left off. I could only muster up about 2 miles, because the heat in South Carolina was KILLER that evening.

My only "July" goal for the remainder of this month?

RUN. That's it. I miss it so much. Honestly? June felt like I couldn't really keep my head above water, so needless to say I hardly made time for working out. I'm excited to get back in the gym, and run my little heart out. Not only run...but get back to the weight room.

I'm working on a new running playlist, and trying to incorporate music that makes me think positively, while still having fun. Caleb and I used to run to a ton of really fast rap with quick drum beats, but we left the gym feeling kinda negative from all the crap we listened to for hours. Enter Christian rapper, Andy Mineo. Seriously, dude's talented, and the lyrics to all of his songs are 100x better than the crap Lil Wayne raps about.

One step to a happier Kayla :)
