A weekend with Jessica :)

After many stressful months, I took a 6 day "staycation" with my boyfriend, Jason. We spent each day together, doing things we haven't done in months and having a blast! It's so important to have these moments in life! So often, people have "vacations" but they rush around getting things done, going here and there, but sometimes the best times are the times when you do absolutely nothing. Life is too short! Here is a little tidbit of my weekend :)

Jason (my amazing boyfriend of 6 years) took me to a beautiful nursery and bought me the most amazing rose bush in my favorite color, peach!

After seeing how beautiful the nursery was, we went home, got my camera and came back!

Jason and I love celebrating the season's in the most minimalist way. We carved the big pumpkin and baked the seeds with some old bay, delish treat! The coca-light we found at the local farmers market, we havent had any since Amsterdam, it brought back memories!

My roses :)

My bike, appropriately named "Holland"

Jason, the most amazing man I have ever known. I love him like CRAZY.
