BULA FIJI

Bula(Hello in Fijian) from Savusavu Island in Fiji!!!

Last Tuesday, we got to visit the town of the people that work at the resort we are staying at, Jean Michel Couseau Resort, and it was really an amazing little trip. We had a blast seeing their way of life, their houses, and a little bit of their culture. The people here are so unbelievably welcoming, sweet, loving, happy, and just super nice. I mean really nice! The tribe asks 4 of the men in our group to drink the Kava with them and of course Dad was one of them. Here are some of the pictures of the village and their welcoming festivities they do each week for the guests!

Cait mid clap and Addison and I having so much fun.

Amazing amazing experience!! And lots of other things to blog about from Fiji, today we did the rainforest hike to a waterfall and it was undoubtedly one of the coolest things we have ever done!

 In the words of Ron Burgendy, "Thanks for stopping by" or in Fijian that would be "Vinaka for stopping by." Classy I know. 

With lolomas( look at me using so many Fijian words),

belle meade plantation

while we were in tennessee visiting my "folks" we, in good ol tourist fashion, went to a plantation in nashville. belle meade was really beautiful and had amazing wine tasting (free i might add). wonderful day trip with two of the most amazing and fun people i know :)

we weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but the mansion was pretty stunning. more than anything though the property was so gorgeous! everything is just so green and the weather was perfectly overcast with a warm breeze!  just lovely.

beautiful day + amazing plantation + wonderful & hilarious people = happy lexi :)

bon voyage

Sending off my friends from one part of their lives to another, only seemed like the best excuse to do some great luggage. I knew one of my friends was dying for a vintage make up trunk, so with that idea, I got some great luggage pieces and set out to paint them. I found the make up case at an antique store in down town Clovis and the suite case at Neighborhood Thrift in Tower District.

The girls loved them and I can say that I am so proud and happy with how they turned out! It takes an already great statement piece and customizes it even more.

Congrats my beautiful friends, I can't wait to see the journey God has set before you unfold.

first comes love.

Seeing as this is my first blog, I thought I'd start with one of the most important things in my life, 

Mr Joshua David Warren :)

Yesterday was beautiful, 72 degrees and sunny in good ol Clovis. 

We took the opportunity to go on a bike ride to Starbucks and then to church. Obviously, we laughed the whole way there. 

And afterwards we got some sushi at Mr Sushi #2 and stopped by Trader Joes for a box of Mochi ice cream, strawberry of course. All in all, amazing evening with the most amazing guy. Might be our new thing on Sunday afternoons this spring/summer.
