Five-on-Friday: Wanting Now

There are many things that I want. Unfortunately, I'm not a very patient person. With school drawing to a close, I have to remain patient and forge on ahead these last 9 school days. I think I can, I think I can...

That being said--there are at least five things I'm wanting and wanting now. Here they are:

one: summer

I love summer. I love these boys. And I love the ballpark. We're celebrating a special bride-to-be at the ballpark this summer, and I. Can't. Wait.

Oh to be that tan again. 

 

You maybe saw this on my IG on Tuesday...

Lemon water=summertime

two: a cake stand

I love to bake. I also love to decorate cakes and cupcakes. I'm not the greatest at it, but I do think an actual cake stand would help me out a lot. That way I don't have to precariously perch my cake on top of an upside down bowl and pray it doesn't tip over.

Here are a couple that could help me out a lot:

Isn't it adorable?!

And this one is just practical.

Turn table style.

And then there's this one (mint, yes please) and this one (because, pastel).

three: paint

I just want my house painted. Over on IG and Facebook the other day, I posted a photo of our wall with 4 colors on it. I asked all ya'll to vote. I think number 4 was the winner. You voted well and I think our color of choice will be.....

A mixture!

And...

I can't wait to see this mixture on our walls!

four: plants

I've got a bunch of baby aloe plants just waiting to be planted. Unfortunately the babies at my house are so much smaller than the babies at school. So they'll all have to come home with me this summer. There, I will re-pot them and I hope they'll be so happy in the sun. I know I will be.

We are also hoping to plant a decent sized garden this year. How awesome would it be to have produce for most of the summer?! Woo! Have no fear, I'll be sharing garden updates once we're in the swing of it.


five: new shoes 

I told Kyle that I plan to buy new shoes with our final pay check of the year. Here's a few I've been admiring.

Plus, he's been asking me what I'd like for my birthday. Here's a few ideas, pal!

I love these. AND they're on sale!

And since TOMS are one of my favorites...

(size 9, please!)

Kyle's been telling me to get Sperry's that are all leather.

So I found this other pair too.    

(9.5 M, 'kay, thanks)

But I still love these, all leather or not. 

 

I mean, c'mon. How cute are these?!

(40 please)

*Grandma & Michelle, you'd love em too--let's match!* 

And I can't leave you without more options.

Well, folks. There you have it. Another Five-on-Friday is in the books. I've been dreaming--in case you couldn't tell. Have a marvelous Memorial Day Weekend! 

Cheers!
