On my way home, I was looking for somewhere different to take some photos and decided the entry way to a golf course would be great.  Wrong.  Since it was 'prime time', most staff were leaving (either that, or there were a lot of golfers in today's dreary-rain) and people would literally come to an almost-complete-stop and stare at me.  Awkward much?  I even had three people stop to see what I was doing and two to tell me it was private property - okay thennn.  So I took my camera and bolted.  I won't be going back there again.

On a side-note, I bought this jacket last week from the thrift store in my quest for a DIY.  Once I got the jacket home and washed it, I realized I loved it too much to 'trash' it with my planned DIY.  So, I've decided I will use a different jacket from my closet.  So stay tuned.

I know, I know, but they need to be broken in, sadly. 
Thankfully I'm breaking them in too because they are killing my feet

For the evening of Fathers' Day, we headed over to my future in-laws place for a BBQ.  Everytime we go there, it's a huge feast, and as I've mentioned before, my fiancĂ©'s mother is a super chef.  She made fantastic burgers from scratch, along with three salads (mixed greens, potato and pasta).  However, my favourite part of the meal was obviously dessert.  She had picked strawberries that very morning and baked some tea biscuits.  When the time came, she whipped up some fresh whipped cream and we all indulged.  And when I say indulged, I mean really indulged because I couldn't get enough and had two. Ha.

On Saturday I went to a baby shower for a friend (also my friend's sister) which was fabulous.  She is due in two months and is glowing.  The shower was fantastic complete with great people and amazing food.  She knows she's having a boy, but is keeping the name under wraps until he is born.  We are all so curious as to what it will be, but, I guess we will have to wait!

My mom and I hit up Aldo today to look for a clutch for her for the wedding.  While there I found these, the 'Gersten' wedge.  I died.  I grabbed them so quick and held on tight, look at my mom and gave the look of, 'Omigod-these-are-amazing-and-I-need-them-NOW'.  She then gave me the look, no, actually she said, 'Yeah, to go with your other 170 pairs of shoes...' while rolling her eyes.  Sadly, I left empty handed.

Boo hoo.
