ashland.

this past weekend, my brother graduated from the smallest college known to man. woo hoo.

but seriously, the entire school only has 700 students.

northland college. ashland wisconsin.

it's a very pretty little town. i got to enjoy it with my family & my best friend molly!

8 hours both ways. it was not fun.

during our time there we visited a place where public enemies was filmed (that means johnny depp was right where i was!!!), went out to a brewery where molly and i ordered beer because it was legal (thank you wisconsin-law-making-people), went shopping in small vintage shops where i bought an embroidered pillow and molly bought a "keep calm and carry on" sign (for a whopping $30), attended drew's graduation in which he received his bachelor's in natural resources and wildlife management, fine-dined on mexican and margaritas, took a ferry to madeline island, went through more small shops, went moped-ing around the island (!!!!!!) where we froze to death, and went home memorial day morning where i took a mini photo shoot of molly reading. couldn't help it. the sun was hitting her hair just right.

love and light, xo

summer is upon us.

i still can't believe may is already half over. on the bright side, flowers are in bloom! aren't my mom's flowers the prettiest? i took these pictures today. the only time i stepped outside of this house. pitiful.

anywaaaaaaays. i've taken tons of random pictures in the past few weeks and i think now is a good time to post them in bulk. i'm doing a faux-instagram post...seeing as i don't own a smartphone.

i tried to put them close to chronological order but who really cares! photo descriptions below.

1. i was cleaning my room and found this gift from my friends. don't worry. it's candy.

2. i was laying outside when this song came on and i missed it so much.

3 & 4. i made quinn a message in a bottle :) he made me one too. i made it into a necklace.

5. easter morning! i love our sleepyheadness.

6. i chaperoned a high school field trip. i love visiting the bean.

7. i chaperoned another field trip. vietnam museum. "Is love too much to ask?"

8 & 9. i ran into my best friend brian at the pet store. we played with this pretty little girl and fell in love.

10. quinn and i found a "stray" cat. turned out to be his neighbors.

11. my new sneaks! the boyfriend popped $100 for these bad boys. i'm in love.<3

12. quinn got himself a pair. they look pretty good under blacklights.

13 & 14. took quinn to blue man group for his birthday. best show ever. it never gets old.

sorry for the lack of posts. life has been a whirlwind but that's soon going to change!

happy summertime :)

love and light, xo
