A sick couch is the place to be when I'm down with a cold or flu. Basically, it's a couch in a different room than your bedroom tailored perfectly to your sicky needs. Mine usually has all the pillows from my bed, a few prime blankets, water bottles everywhere, and a remote always nearby.
Thanks to my brother, I've been hanging out on my sick couch for the past couple of days. The stomach flu is awful, and thanks to it I missed out on seeing the boy.

Speaking of the boy, Steven put in his 2 weeks at Starbucks yesterday. I am floating on air at the thought of this finally happening. He has to go in for his first day on my birthday, but I'm not bothered at all. He is leaving his job, his home, his friends, and his town behind for us. That is the most incredible birthday present, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Today I mustered up enough energy to get out of the house and wear something other than pajamas.

Heart Locket Dress from H&M
Sunglasses from H&m
"Madeline" Hat (that's really what it's called!) from Forever 21

In my outfit, I ventured to Target, an antique store, the UPS store, In N Out, and the dog park. It was a laid back Saturday, which I'm always appreciative of.

To be honest, I'd like to skip these last 5 days of June and get to July. It's going to be absolutely fantastic!
Why, you ask?

1. Steven moves in
2. 4th of July bbq pool party @ mi casa
3. birthday!~!~!~!
4. Road trip with Mary Claire and Marielle to visit the Preussers!
5. Steven will be living with me
6. apartment hunting
7. 3 commissioned photo shoots
8. it’ll be almost August which will be equally awesome

Super excited!


Stay tuned

So...
I have some AMAZING news!
Remember how Steven and I had to go to Carlsbad on Friday? Well, it was for an interview for a job in Costa Mesa. And guess what....

HE GOT IT!

This means he is moving in with me within the next 2 weeks. Incredibly excited. I cried the second he told me and didn't stop for awhile.
It's finally happening. After almost 4 and a half years of missing each other constantly, we are finally going to get to be together everyday. I'm crying out of sheer happiness again.
Once he's here we'll begin the search for a perfect apartment. I'm just oh so happy.

I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating your fathers! Here's a picture of mine and myself in 1992.


I'm off to bed. I start summer semester tomorrow, and for some reason I signed up for a 7-10:45 AM math class. Why do I do this to myself?

Have a lovely week, friends.

So I found these amazing dresses in October, and fell in love with them. They've been up on Etsy for a long time and they are about to expire. So I'm offering 15% off of them (and anything else in the shop) when you use the coupon code JUNEBUG.


This peach dress is to die for. It's perfect for a summer wedding! Available here.



This floral frock has the cutest shape and details. I noticed a girl trying it on and fell in love with it (the dress, not the girl.) Once she set it back on the rack I snatched it. Available here.

(excuse my poor attempts at modeling dresses that are too small for me!)

I found this really amazing vintage ribbon that I'm going to put to use soon. They're all gorgeous!


I should have some more things up soon! I'm on the lookout for things of all sizes!

In other news, I'm considering dying parts of my hair pink. I went to Sally's the other day, but they didn't have exactly what I was looking for. I want a really pale pink or purplish pink. If you know of a good one, let me know!
So instead of hair dye, I treated myself to nail polish.


Essie's "Cute As A Button" is from a previous trip to Target, but I included it anyways. It's a really lovely summer color. I wore it with sparkley pink on top and loved it. I'm current wearing Essie's "French Affair" on my hands and ORLY's "Lollipop" on my toes.


I found these adorable stickers at the market and decided to put them on everything. If you make an order from the shop, expect to see them!



And here's what I made for dinner the night I actually started writing this blog post (Wednesday night!)

Teriyaki beef stir fry and white rice. Yum.

Steven and I are off to Carlsbad for the day. He has important appointment, so please keep your fingers crossed for us!

A Day In Pictures

This is Friday June 10th, 2011!

Steven kept me up late, so I didn't even get out of bed until

Ugh I hate waking up that late

I got out of bed, peed, and since Steven didn't wanna get up yet I hopped on tumblr.



at

I decided that it was time for Steven to get up. With lots of kisses and jumping on the bed, he was finally up for the day.

We had breakfast


then got ready for the day

While he hogged the bathroom, I put on Arrested Development and picked out my outfit for the day



Then we brushed our teeth

(I could not for the life of me get a good picture of myself brushing, so enjoy this one of my photogenic boyfriend)

I did my makeup while Steven got dressed


and then we realized Steven was dressed exactly like his xbox avatar


l o l

and we are finally on our way at


It's Steven's payday ($$$) so we pick up his check and run by the bank



Now it's time for fun!


We treck through traffic to get to Riverside

then we finally have lunch


fall in love with every puppy in Barkworks


and do some shoppin'

Steven bought a gray pullover, 2 pairs of shorts, and undapants from H&M.
I bought a gray cardigan and a navy skirt from Nordstrom.
woo!

We leave the mall around 6, and rush over to Lake Elsinore


Driving down the 15 is always pretty

We meet up with our friends Andrew and Erika at this cute little coffee shop for ~*~Game Night~*~





I order a black berry iced tea, some more people show up, and we get down to business


I'm not a big board gamer, but Settlers of Catan is pretty awesome. The point of the game is to have the most settlements. I still don't fully understand the game, but it was quite fun.



The coffee shop closed at 9, and luckily we had just finished the game at closing time.


We were pretty hungry, so we invited Andrew and Erika to have dinner with us in Temecula.



Steven had a pomegranate margherita that he let me try, but I really didn't like it. Erika let me try her raspberry beer and I was in love. I'd like to skip 20 and just turn 21 next month.

I powered down my burger without taking a picture, it was stupid delicious

Steven had some intense burger, and he said it was the best he's ever had. Yard House was a good choice.

Erika and I were entranced by the mango sorbet on the desert menu, so we all shared a few scoops


We said our goodbyes and took off back to Steven's.

We originally had plans to meet up with more friends at a bar back in town, but cancelled on account of our over filled bellies.

Steven wanted to get a beverage so we stopped at Wal-Mart on our way back

and we were finally home around 12:20.

We spent the rest of the evening trying on our new purchases, snugglin', and watching TV.




I hopped back on tumblr and put on Arrested Development (we seriously watch it all the time) while Steven showered.

Like the baby I am, I passed out soon after.
It was a really nice day! I'm so glad Steven had the day off so we could spend some time together.

I hope you enjoyed my day in pictures!
