1. My husband picked me up from the airport on Monday with these beautiful flowers in hand. He’s so good to me.
2. I really cannot believe today is already Thursday. Where the heck did this week go?! Oh well, I’m not complaining. Bring on the weekend!
3. I have the bestest best friend ever. She sent me a cute card, nut butter, a pretty skirt, and some flavored coffee she knew I’d love. She knows me all too well. Love you Rachel!
4. I might be getting a “smart phone” soon! Yes, I’m the one that still has an old school phone. Be jealous. Needless to say, I’m excited.
5. If (and hopefully when) I get a “smart phone”, you can count on a bazillion instagram photos from me. I just know I’ll be obsessed.
6. This new ice cream I bought is SO good. Like so good that I can’t keep my darn spoon out of the ice cream container.
7. I recently bought this new swimsuit. Now I just need to figure out when and where to wear it. Perhaps we need to plan a vacation? I’m thinking so…
8. I’m loving the super long days lately! Just another reason I love summer.
9. Congratulations to Heather on baby Hunter! Check out the guest post I wrote for her today!
Questions:
- Do you have a “smart phone”? If so, what kind?
- Have you ever tried this Tillamook ice cream? Which flavor? What’d you think of it?
- Do you have any vacations planned for this summer? If so, can I come?

What a sweet husband!! And horrayyy for smartphones! I got an iPhone for Christmas, and it has been life changing, no joke.
Yay for getting a smart phone! I have a droid, but I’m hoping to get an iphone soon!
We are going back to Cancun this summer, and I cannot wait! You are welcome to join us!
i’m so jealous! we went to cancun for our honeymoon, and i want to go back so bad!
The flowers are goregous – what a sweet hubby! I desperately want a smart phone. But I haven’t bitten the bullet yet, because I’m afraid it would never leave my hands. Lol! No vacations planned yet, although, I am eyeing some weekends for trips to the beach. Feel free to come along.
i love the beach!! which beach do you go to?
Leaving in the southeastern corner of Georgia affords me the chance to leave close (within a few hours) of several beaches. For quick trips, we go to the beach at one of the barrier island off the coast – Tybee, Jekyll, St. Simon’s Island. On longer trips, we like to visit Fernandina Beach, Daytona, and Panama City.
I just got the Samsung Galaxy 2, and love it. I its my favorite and I have had quite a few different smart phones, lets just say I like to break things… bad and expensive habit of mine
We are staying closer to home for the summer to save money and go to NYC in December, but we have a few smaller trips planned, camping, hiking in the moutains, going to the lake etc.
it sounds like staying home for the summer will totally be worth it for a NYC trip!!
Love your Thursday thoughts
And that swimsuit is sooooo pretty!! Your hubby DEFINITELY needs to take you somewhere fun to wear it 
Hawaii maybe? Or California as a compromise? 
We don’t have anything planned YET, but our 8th wedding anniversary is coming up in August, so we’ll probably do SOMETHING. Might involve fly-fishing??? (My hubby’s favorite pastime, which I also happen to enjoy!)
ha! i WISH hawaii! flights are so pricey these days! i’m thinking a california trip might be in order though… how exciting that your 8th anniversary is coming up!! congratulations!
LOVE that swim suit! Where is it from? I am on the hunt for some new ones for my honeymoon in August!!!
Also – A smartphone will change your world. I switched over to one (iPhone) a little less than a year ago and instantly became addicted. (I am not sure whether that is a good or a bad thing!)
i snagged it at tar-jay!
it lifts me up and covers my booty! i love it!
That was so thoughtful of your husband! He certainly earned himself some brownie points with that gesture.
I have an iPhone, and I absolutely love it! I resisted the change to a smart phone of so long, but finally caved. I am so glad that I did. My phone now reminds me of upcoming events, keeps an ongoing grocery list, doubles as my interval timer, and so much more. I am certain that whatever smart phone you get, you will love it too.
i have a feeling i will love it too!
How sweet of Cody!!! And you should get an iPhone, it literally changed my life. I realize this sounds dramatic… But without google maps and the bus app I have, I wouldn’t be able to find my way around Chicago. I’m using it now on the bus to read your blog!! And there’s a beach here in Chicago!!!
haha i am so directionally challenged, so it’d help me with that for sure! i know cody and i are planning on a chicago trip hopefully in the someday near future!
haha “in the someday near future” is not definitive, aka I will be hounding you to visit Chicago!
Aww, your husband is so sweet! And that ice cream looks insanely good!
How nice of your husband! It’s so nice when guys do sweet things like that out of the blue rather than just on days where that’s expected of them!
I got the new iphone a few months ago and I would highly recommend it!
i agree! cody despises valentine’s day so he tries to do little things randomly (i.e. these flowers) throughout the year. i don’t mind!
Awww that’s really cute! Your husband is such a sweet heart! My iPhone is the best $200 I’ve ever spent! CHANGED my life! You’ll fall in love with instagram and spend way too much time on it like I do.
oh i’m SURE i will too!
Yay, so excited for you to get a smart phone!!! Instagram is totally addicting, beware.
i believe it! haha
I got the iPhone 4s in December and I love it! To be honest, I waited do long to get a smart phone because I thought I would be obsessed, and boy am I! It’s amazing, but dangerous to have email and blog readibg at your fingertips
next weekend I am going to Chicago for four days and I am going to Myrtle Beach in July! Can’t wait!
how FUN!!
I love flowers too! What a great husband you have
That color suit is going to look awesome on you! And YES to the yummy ice cream. Yummmmmmm
i agree, he is pretty great.
and thank you! i can’t wait to wear it!
You will love your smartphone! I had an old school phone (no internet or anything!) until this past October. The day before our honeymoon, we both got iPhones and we absolutely love them! GPS, music, instagram, internet–all in one convenient device!
I don’t have a smart phone. I don’t want to spend the money on it monthly!!
Love the bathing suit!!!
that’s what has kept me from getting a smartphone for so long too, but i think it’ll be worth it for me now.
I don’t have a smart phone either, and it’s so frustrating because I would love to use Instagram! When my fiance and I get on the same phone plan after we’re married, I’m hoping to buy one
.
I have an iPhone and do love it just for how fast it is. I live on my twitter on it. those flowers are so beautiful!
Loving your swim suit! I realy need to go and get me a new one too.
What a great husband and great friend! Those are gifts for sure.
I also don’t have a smartphone…
I don’t have a smart phone either but I think I’m going to get one at the end of the summer! Can’t wait for instagram
me too!! i know i’ll be instagramming my life all over the place! haha.
I have an iPhone and my husband has the Droid Bionic–he’s been a dedicated Driod user since they first came out. He definitely wishes he would have gone iPhone, and is anxiously awaiting the end of our contracts so he can make the switch! Instagram is so much fun!
I don’t have a smart phone either. I hardly have a phone at all. I have a pay-as-you-phone that I don’t even turn on. No bill!
LOVE that new suit! So cute.
And you have such a caring husband – those flowers are beautiful!
My brother and I have a potential vacation planned this summer – we’re crossing our fingers that we can make our schedules work!
I hope you end up getting a smart phone, although I’m waaay too attached to mine! I have a Droid right now, but I’ll be getting an iPhone as soon as my plan is up in a few weeks!
I don’t have a smartphone either!! Don’t move over onto the dark side haha!
Just kidding … I’m just jealous of everyone else who does have one!
haha i know! i’ve held off for so long, and i just realllly want one now!
Cookie Dough ice cream is my weakness!!!
you and me both!
Omg! Tillamook ice cream is practically local for us in Washington State and my family almost always has it in our house! Lots of self control is needed when that’s the case, especially since we all have the same favorite flavor– Mudslide flavor! If you ever see it offered, you just NEED to get it!
I DO NOT have a smart phone! And won’t be eligible until 2013. Guess I’m kickin’ it old school until then!
Cody is so sweet!! We leave tomorrow for vacation… come join us!
i WISH!
so you probably have one of the sweetest husbands ever
Those flowers are gorgeous!
Your husband is a great guy, flowers are just the best
I do love that swim suit.. the color is nice and I like the shape and design as well
I agree with your repetition of “i love summer” I can’t say it enough!
Aww those flowers are so pretty! Cody is such a great guy
. And I will totally stalk your instagram pictures if you get a smart phone haha. Um, that swim suit is sooooo cute! LOVE it!
I also still have an old school phone…but today is my husband and my anniversary and he told me my present is an iPhone! I hope you get yours soon too
yay!! happy anniversary angie!
Oh I sure love my iPhone… you will love it! Thanks again for guest posting
of course! i’m glad i could help!
That bikini is so adorable! Love it. How cute is your hubby that he brought you flowers! Aw. I have a blackberry, but no instagram on it! I can’t wait until my contract is up this month to get an iphone haha, its embarrassing how excited I am about this
Tillamook ice cream is THE BEST!! You can only buy it in the west though, which means it’s nowhere to be found in DC.
But it also means that I’ll be stocking up when I arrive in Boise in July! A few years ago I visited the Tillamook cheese and ice cream factory in Oregon. It was a pretty life-changing (and filling—too many samples, haha!) experience. 
Cody is so sweet! You’ve got a keeper, for sure! <3 xoxo
i didn’t know that!! interesting! it’s sooooo good!!
