Chase and I spent the weekend in Tahoe a couple weekends ago. If you’ve never been there, put that sucker on your bucket list peeps. It is just so darn beautiful. I told you how Chase was doing the Tough Mudder, right? Yeah – that’s why we were up there. You guys – it was such an ordeal. The Tough Mudder itself went great for Chase. He basically crushed it, which came as no surprise. Chase is kind of one of those annoying guys who is really good at everything he does, even if it’s a first-try situation and even if he hasn’t trained for it AT ALL. It’s a real confidence booster for me (who is not that way), let me tell ya. Anywho, he did great. However, WE (meaning Jack and I) didn’t see any of it. We missed the entire thing! Wahhhhh! I thought it was going to take them longer than it did to complete the course, so I figured I’d put Jack down for his morning nap and then we’d go up there and catch the last half after he woke up. Well as it turned out, husband finished way faster than anticipated and Jack slept longer than anticipated, and the combo meant that we literally showed up to the race location after Chase had crossed the finish line. We didn’t see any of it. Can you believe that?! I was secretly super butt-hurt about it actually. May or may not have cried about it. Haha! Aaaaaaand now you all know that it was clearly that time of the month for little Miss Emotional over here when all of this was goin’ down. Awesome. All in all, it was a good weekend, despite the Tough Mudder debacle.

As far as clothes go, I wore this gingham top to church the Sunday we were up there in Tahoe. You guys – meet my new favorite top for summer from Express. Seriously though it’s one of those where if I could wear this thing every single day and still be considered socially acceptable, I would do it. I’m obsessed. It’s got that light weight thing goin’ on making it perfect for summer and it’s so flattering. Warning: it is a teeny bit sheer, so I have to wear a tank under it, but that’s alright – nothing this gal isn’t used to. Anywhoooo, I’m surprised it hasn’t sold out but it’s available HERE if you’re interested, AND there are a million different versions of basically the same shirt too (I also got this one and am coveting this one, this one, and this one) AND they’re all buy one get one 50% off. Winning!

Can you believe we’re already most of the way through June? Woof! Make it stop!

Have a Topsy-Turvy Tuesday!
