This week’s ‘Friday Favorites’ is largely a quick wrap-up of some of my favorite things from this past, jam-packed weekend, one wild card favorite, and one thing I’m extremely looking forward to this weekend!! 🙂
1.) Trying new things – On Friday night, I joined my good friend Katie and her mom for a calligraphy class at Art in a Bottle in Lititz. It was a lot of fun and definitely way more difficult than I anticipated! (I will not be handwriting envelopes any time soon!)
2.) Showering best friends – In less than a month, one of my best friends and college roommates, Nicole, is getting married to her incredible fiance, Pete! I love both of them, and it was so much fun getting to shower Nicole with a luncheon on Saturday afternoon!
Nicole’s fantastic matron of honor (and the third roommate of Nicholas Towers Apartment 605 circa 2011-12 😉 ), Brookie selected Arugula Ristorante in Plymouth Meeting for the shower venue, and I highly recommend it for anyone in the area! The food was delicious, and the setting was perfect!
3.) The New Jersey State Half-Marathon – In the final part of the whirlwind weekend, Justin and I drove down to New Jersey to run the New Jersey State Half-Marathon, and I think it was well worth the drive!! The weather was absolutely perfect for running, and the course was fast and flat! I’ll be doing a full recap of the race, so look for that on Monday, but in the meantime…how photogenic of a runner is Justin versus me!? haha
4.) This Salad Chopping Bowl and Chopper – This is easily one of the most random, miscellaneous things that I’ve ever included on a favorites list…At least three days a week this season at WEF, I ate a salad for lunch in the VIP tent – mostly because I was obsessed with how well chopped and blended the salads were and how good they tasted that way…so of course I did the only natural thing for a person to do…I tracked down the exact same salad chopping bowl and chopper that they used and found it to order on Amazon.
5.) KENTUCKY DERBY BACHELORETTE WEEKEND!! – Now, this weekend, I’m off to Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby and Nicole’s bachelorette party!! We’ll be spending all day Saturday at the Derby, followed by a wine tasting/winery lunch on Sunday and a nice evening and dinner in downtown Lexington! So looking forward to a great weekend with some of my favorite people in one of my favorite places! 😀
