Weekend.

The weather this weekend was perfection! Friday evening, we had our friends over for a little BBQ of chicken and burgers. Sean loves to grill and actually does it in the winter too. Even though we all live in the same city we hadn’t seen each other since our trip to Montreal so it was nice to catch up and enjoy the nice weather.

I didn't take as many pictures as I normally do. I guess, I was trying to be a good host?

Please ignore the background. The house next door is in foreclosure. I guess, our old neighbors in a fit of rage decided to tear down their fence and expose their unkempt backyard to us. Very nice of them. Now we're going to have to put up a fence to keep their unkempt backyard hidden to us. This might be a good thing because our yard has been neglected ever since we removed the wheelchair accessible ramp. It's about time we got our yard looking a little pretty.

On Saturday, I went to a food truck festival with Colleen and her husband and a few of their friends. There were bands and little shops but the lines for each truck was outrageous. We stood in line for a truck called Slidin' Dirty for almost TWO HOURS! They were selling sliders and we really wanted to try their avocado fries. In the end, it was too hot to stand in line for food so we went out and got food. What a waste!

I think what made it a bit worst was that we all hadn't eaten much that day that way we could try as many foods from the trucks as possible. Being hot, hungry and thirsty is an awful combination.

I guess in my hungry state I didn't think anything of it when Colleen decided to take my picture. The last thing on my mind were settings. So the only pictures taken of me that day were dark. Awesome. Hopefully you get an idea of what I wore.

Sunday, I made sure to head to the gym after church.

I took Izy for a long walk and we sat in our enclosed porch while I read some magazines and snacked on strawberries and blue berries and enjoyed the light breeze that came through the windows.

It was a great weekend but I have a feeling that visiting my niece next weekend with Sean is going to top this one. Yup, I’m pretty sure of it!

Hope that you all had wonderful weekends as well!

  7. Well, nice pics of all the food that you didn't get to try! That is a bummer. The concept is great but maybe they needed more trucks or maybe it was just more popular then they expected. Glad you had a great weekend! Looks like the weather was great. Ours was on Fri and Sat then it went downhill from there.

  20. Oh man, hunger and heat are the worst combo. A food truck festival sounds like the best/fun idea ever!!! Too bad the lines were so incredibly long...boo!

    ReplyDelete
  21. How fun! Entertaining with a cook out is always a good time in my book. The food trucks would be so fun, but I agree the long lines + hungry/thirsty people does not make a good combo! And the berries look scrumptious! Have a good week!

  22. What a bummer about the food trucks! The first Thursday of each month food trucks gather for all to feast. I've always wanted to go... Looks like I know what we'll be doing this week!
    Love that tank from Express! Too cute!

  23. Faith, that sux you had to wait so long and then didn't even get food. Food trucks can be so yummy! Glad you made the best of it though and had a great weekend regardless! I love how you've incorporated outfit posts into your lifestyle posts! Looking fab as usual!

  24. I've yet to ever tried food from a Food Truck, and there's quite a few of them around here that sell authentic Mexican tacos or something. I'm sure your restaurant food was better anyway ;). I loved both your outfits <3
