Peonies & Freedom

by Kristina on June 13, 2010

As a little treat for myself yesterday (when shopping for test-day snacks and hunting for lunchbox freezer gel packs) I spotted these pink peonies and had to get a bunch for myself! I love peonies!

I’m officially finished with my medical school licensing exam! It was long (7.5 hours) and a ton of questions (what’s 46 multiplied by 7?) and extremely difficult (wanted to cry at times – think I got a really tough version of it). But it’s over! And you know what that means! Pure, unadulterated summer fun (and outfits!) for the next two weeks. So excited to be BACK. Missed you guys!

Love, Kristina

Beautiful flowers, I love them too. I picked some up yesterday and they are looking pretty on my kitchen windowsill now. Congrats on finishing your horrible scary test and getting it out of the way so that you can post many pretty pictures.

I love peonies too….I wanted to use them in my wedding but when you get married in DEC in Florida it's just not do-able unless you pay a very hefty price to have them flown in from Holland that time of year!!

Glad you finished your test and can relax now….looking forward to seeing your next outfits!!
