Here are the makings of a perfect weekend:

• Pulling three black and white dresses out of your closet for Friday, Saturday, Sunday outfit perfection
• Friday dinner plans that combine family, pizza and a Moscow Mule
• Up close and personal seats at Wicked
• Jenn’s Birthday!
• The Spice Girls, Will Smith, Hanson AND Whitney Houston playing in the bar you’re at and the hell with it, all of us girls are gonna dance
• Saturday morning at the coffee shop when a girl biker gang shows up and they’re all just so cool
• When “Buy beer” is the first “appointment” in your calendar
• Biking to an amusement park in a dress and wedges and feeling like you’re just as cool as a girl biker gang
• A Summer Shandy + a company picnic where you’re able to sweet talk yourself into winning the raffle Rockies tickets
• Cutting into a pan of perfectly sweet and soft cornbread (yeah it may have been 85° degrees in our house and yeah I may have turned the oven on anyway, but that cornbread was worth it)
• Summer BBQs, live bands, pulled pork and the coolest red truck, because no farm would be complete without one
• Standing over your kitchen island to share a chocolate cupcake at midnight
• Nieces that love to pose for the camera and enjoy Magna-Doodles just as much as you did when you were a kid
• When you’re entrusted with the task of cutting the first piece of the world’s largest layer cake
• Father’s Day cards that nail your relationship with your dad
• Sprinklers that water your grass for you
• Reading on the porch
• Having the awareness to realize how super sweet summer is and soaking up every second of it

P.S. That doodle my niece drew SLAYS me.
