Casual Fridays

Well, I stayed up till almost 1 AM last night finishing Sense & Sensibility. Once I get to a certain point in that book (namely, Willoughby's big confession to Elinor), I just can't stop reading until I've finished it. It's always bittersweet coming to the end of such a friendly novel. 

But anyway, a couple minutes after I finished reading and was about to actually get some sleep, my phone started ringing. At 1:00 in the morning. It was a facetime call from my little brother who is currently in Hawaii and sending me pictures like this:

Oh and my other brother is in Thailand right now with his wife sending me pictures like this:

Yes. Those are for real tigers. 

Did I mention that my little sister is an Air Force PILOT and was also just named Cadet of the Year for the second year in a row? 

My family is so bomb. 

And even though I'm a little jealous of those Hawaii photos and the knowledge that Oak and Caroline will be (if they haven't already) riding elephants, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than snuggled up to my man in bed, eating Ben & Jerry's straight out of the carton, and watching Bones at 2 AM because we just finished talking to Reagan on the facetime and were wide awake. Life is sweet.

Link Love

Your Blog Post Wasn't About Me : This is so true. If you don't like something you read, then for the love just move on and read something else, people! Is it really necessary to leave hateful, ugly comments on every single little thing you disagree with?! If you can't contribute to the conversation in a healthy way, it's time to leave the internet and never come back.

Florida News : You guys. This is just too hilarious. Only in Florida. I died.

What The Cross Has Meant To Me : And this one made me cry. Thank you, Jesus!

How I Spend Money : I can't even. This chick totally gets me. 

Thank You, Mom : My husband just showed me this, and I'm having a lot of feelings. P&G. #nailedit

Well, that's about it for today. Oh, except, here's this:

That first link I shared could have had this picture in it. I don't know who thinks of this stuff, but right?!

I hope your weekend is spectacular and whine-free. And if you're a praying person, send a few up for me tonight because I'm going to be rocking an All-Nighter with a bunch of 5th and 6th grade girls and guess what showed up this morning....hint.

Seen or read anything good on the internet lately? What's awesome about your family? Any big plans for the weekend?
