happy friday, friends! what's on your agenda for the weekend? i'll be in the beginning stages of packing for my vacation next week! yes, that's right.. a well-needed vacation with the roommates is in order. {roommates = mom and dad} we're heading out thursday and making our first of many stops in las vegas, baby! then, it's on to san francisco, los angeles, anaheim {yes, that happens to be where disneyland is}, and a short stay after a late flight in new orleans before returning home. just enough time to grab some coffee and beignets at cafe du monde. mmm.
