Happy Friday all! We are celebrating Rory and his birthday tomorrow night. I can't wait! Other than that, we have softball practice and soaking in all the sunshine this weekend.

Anyways, onto Friday favorites and Happenings.

ONE. So I ordered one dress for the wedding that I have in August. Yes, I realize that is far away, but when you see the dress you want on sale, you order it. It comes in today, so we shall see if it fits. 

This dress comes in like 15 colors. I chose one that was on sale. It is still on sale. 

Saks is having a 25% off Spring sale (no code needed) and then I added the code ACCOUNTSF onto it for an additional 10% (after creating an account) and it brought my dress down to: $145. That is still a lot, but if it fits and works, I think it will be beautiful. 

The wedding is in California at a venue that looks like a giant garden with a stone building. So pretty.

TWO. Wednesday was Rory's birthday. We had a birthday dinner out to a new sushi place and it did not disappoint. We started off with a hamachi carpaccio. Rory also got a bowl of ramen. Then we both had a Mt. Rose roll (Shrimp, avocado, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, fried crab mix, unagi sauce, spicy mayo). I also got the Fire Ocean roll (Hamachi, maguro, sake, spicy tuna, korean spicy sauce, unagi sauce). Then we shared a Rainbow roll (California roll with tuna, salmon, yellowtail). Everything was amazing, so fresh and you could really taste the fish, but in a good way. We will definitely be going back.

THREE. I know many of you are not local, but this story is picking up in the news across the nation, and since it is close to home, I want to share it here. Naomi Irion, an 18 year old woman, from Fernley, Nevada, is missing. She has been missing since March 12th. She was on her way to work at Panasonic. She dropped her car off in the Walmart parking lot and was to get on the shuttle that takes her to her work. But she went missing that day. 

A man was caught on video getting into her car and driving it out of the parking lot. They found her car a few miles down the road. His truck is a 2020 or newer Dodge or Chevy truck. 

Here is the missing flyer and info. You can also find more details on the Lyon County Sheriff's Office page.

FOUR. Last weekend my nephew turned one. We had the best time celebrating him. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some of these photos. I also had posted many videos of him digging into his cake, which was so good. It was a vanilla cake with a strawberry filling.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
