See Ya Later Alligator....

After while crocodile. 

I'm bidding adieu my lovelies and heading to the west coast.  I'm pretty positive I haven't been this excited for something in a long time.  Not only do I get to skip out on work for a few days, but I get to dip my toes in the sand, drink wine and eat great food, and hang out with lions and tigers and bears, oh my!  Oh yeah, and spend mega-quality time with The Boyfriend....I mean fiancé!  You heard me, he put a ring on it!  Obviously I'll be dedicating a post to this momumental occasion, but I've decided to keep you in suspense until my return;)

While I'm away I'll have a S-U-P-E-R fun treat for you: My first guest post from a legit, real-time, fancy-pants, ahhhhmazing blogger!  Erin, from Richmond Thrifter, will be hanging out early next week to share one of her favorite spaces in her own home.  I'm beyond excited, more like ecstatic, or better yet freaking thrilled!  Erin's blog is one I visit every morning and you'd be silly not to add it to your daily to-do list as well.  She is an insane DIY-er with an awesome eye for great style and simplistic beauty.  I'm so honored to have her come visit!

I'll be back in full force next Wednesday, although I'll probably feel like this:

 

And in case you didn't catch it...I'm engaged!  Wahoo:)
