perfection.

i already mentioned that my momma came in to town over the weekend for my pinning ceremony, but we got to spend the entire weekend together! i can't remember the last time i got to spend mother's day weekend with my momma. and it was perfection.

after the pinning ceremony and reception momma, austin, and i tried out community pie for some pizza for dinner. it was really good! we forgot that nightfall had started up for the summer so the whole downtown area was crazy and community pie is right smack dab in the center of nightfall. but we actually didn't have to wait for a table.

we considered trying out some of milk and honey's gelato, which they had at community pie, but instead we decided to go to one of my favorite places: dub's! {and here's people looking right and eating soft serve ice cream...}

saturday morning, momma and i went and got some delicious donuts from julie darling on the north shore. if you go there, please get the honey wheat donuts. especially if they have fresh, warm ones. but if not, a quick trip in the microwave is almost as good as fresh. omg. so good.

and then we went yard sale-ing! one of my favorite things to do. and although a lot of the sales were pretty unimpressive, we did manage to find a few things we just had to have. austin bought us a new cooler for when we go camping {2 bucks!} and i got some halloween decor. you can never have too much halloween decor, right? after exhausting all the yard sales we could find, we decided to head down to the saturday river market. and i got this cute little guy!

are you kidding me? he's the cutest little weenie dog i've ever seen! the guy there makes all kinds of creatures and designs from metal. momma got some really cute dragonfly stake things for out in the garden and their wings were made from old silver ware handles! i wish i had gotten a picture of them, but don't worry because i plan to buy some dragonflies of my own soon. and then i will share their cuteness. we then had lunch at the vine street market. i highly recommended this little sandwich shop and bakery, but it's not on vine street. so don't look there.

after some gardening, and perhaps a little nap, we got cleaned up to head to dinner with austin's mom and then we were off to the ballet.

then on sunday, on mother's day, i had a little surprise planned for my momma. thanks to bri and her husband i had a mother/daughter photoshoot planned. these next pictures are some that austin shot in the background, i'm anxiously awaiting the pictures from josh. i hope they turn out well!

after our picture session, it was time to grab some lunch at taziki's. and then i got baklava. i just couldn't pass it up. and it was delicious.

unfortunately, it was then that miserable time when momma had to head back home. even though we did so much {and ate SO much}, the weekend never seems long enough. but i am so incredibly happy that i got to spend mother's day with my amazing momma. i can't wait until she {and timmy!} makes the trip back down here. sooner, rather than later, i hope. love you, momma!
