GOOD NEWS! After approximately one million hours of deliberation- I’m exaggerating, but not as much as you’d imagine- Jason and I have finally booked our honeymoon! We went back and forth with ideas, talking about Italy, then maybe an Italy-Greece combo, then the Maldives, then Canada, then New York, then Thailand, and then finally, (finally!!) we settled upon it. Drum roll… ** Koh Samui ** it is! We go two days after our wedding (we’re giving ourselves the day right after the wedding to relax a little and take it all in!) and could NOT be more excited! We keep sending little ‘oh my goodness I can’t believe we’ve finally booked it!’ texts back and forth, and I’ve already started shopping for new bikinis online. Hurrah! So, that’s the major excitement from this week! Here are the littler things that’ve made this week a good one, too…
1. The magic of a good hotel stay. Even though I’m always glad to come home to my boys, room service and plush king size beds and freshly squeezed orange juice and giant dressing gowns are always such a treat!
2. Realising quite how ingenious our dog is. Teddy’s learnt that if he spots another dog sitting in front of its owner whilst we’re out walking, there’s a pretty good chance that treats are being handed out. So he’ll run over, park himself next to the dog, and look up at the owner expectantly doing his very best puppy dog eyes. I always apologise for his cheek and call him away, but 9 times out of 10, he’ll have got himself a treat because his sweet face is just too hard to resist! That dog…
3. Adding a few new pieces for spring into my wardrobe! I won’t be able to wear them for weeks, but I’m happy they’re there anyhow.
4. Wednesday pizza night! Always a good day when Jason gives in to my endless pestering for a pizza evening ;)
5. Warming up with a cup of tea post-dog walk. The best! Especially when said tea has a shortbread biscuit to go alongside it.
6. Getting to the fun part of wedding planning! It’s all about the flowers, bridesmaid dresses for the little ones, colours and invitations now!
7. A caramelised goats cheese and walnut salad that blew my mind.
8. Seeing my married name written down right next to Jason’s on our honeymoon booking confirmation! I may or may not have cried ;) It’s the most exciting thing!
9. Getting caught in a little rain storm whilst halfway round the lake on Thursday morning. Watching the storm blow in across the water was so beautiful.
10. Binge watching the final series of The Office! We’ve been waiting for it to become available in the UK for ages, and have been averaging about 5 episodes a night for the past couple of days! So much for not leaving the telly blaring, hey? ;)
Three posts I’ve loved reading this week :: Tania’s ‘matters of the heart‘ (so very honest, and so very beautiful) || these photos of a mini urban garden centre || and this post about coffee by Garancé, which is really an ode to coffee by Garancé ;)
What’s made it onto your happy list this week?
