what i'm loving wednesday!

There are so many great things to be loving this pretty Wednesday!  First and foremost, I got to sleep in just a little this morning, which is something I have been looking forward for SEVERAL days now!  8:30 isn't sleeping in too much--unless you've been getting up at 6 AM for too many days in a row. :/

Now, onto the real good news of things I'm loving!!  One of my friends from high school, Crystal, developed HELLP syndrome in her 28th week of pregnancy.  She delivered this little boy, Graham, who weighed about 2.5 pounds.  He's still in the NICU at Tennessee, but his prognosis is very good!  I know they would absolutely covet your prayers as they live several hours away from the hospital and Crystal was discharged this weekend.  I LOVE this picture--you can see just how in love she is with her little boy! :)

I'm loving my salad for lunch!  I've been trying to cut down on carbs some lately and this was the perfect lunch.  I had two cups of spinach, hard-boiled egg whites, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, blackberries, a few dried cherries, and some yummy strawberry poppyseed dressing.  Oh and just a little bit of grilled chicken for some extra protein.  This was one HUGE salad and it kept me filled all through the day--even when I was chasing around some crazy second graders. :)

 

I'm loving these izzes I bought at the store this week.  They are SO delicious and such a perfect treat.  I savor these things like nobody's business.  (Sorry the picture is sideways--for some reason typepad is flipping them?!)

I'm loving my new bag.  I swear there are few things in this world that make me feel as happy as a new purse.  I stopped at the outlet yesterday and picked up this pretty bag for 75% off.  That's right 75% off.  I love outlet malls and their amazing sales!! :)  I love the three dividers--it's perfect for compartmentalizing makeup, pens, my wallet, etc.  I can't wait to carry this pretty bag!

I'm loving my sweet, sweet husband.  We just celebrated ten months of marriage and I swear the days have just completely flown by.  I am so thrilled that he still makes me laugh like no one else and that I can't fall asleep at night without him by my side.  We aren't perfect, but he is my very favorite. 

What are you loving this week? :)

Stopping by from WILW, sounds like you're having a great week! That salad looks wonderful! I'm doing Weight Watchers so I may have to make myself a big salad like that soon! I'll say prayers for that little guy, so precious.
