Travel and Celebrations!
For my birthday weekend, I got to see two of my best friends, Heather and Lacy. We spent the weekend dancing, going to VegFest (which was even better than I expected), and lazing around by the pool. It was great to see them. Heather blogged about that trip, so I'll just link up here if you care to know more.
My birthday (the 21st) was pretty quiet, itself. It fell on a Monday so I worked and then bought my favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream, Americone Dream, for myself. As good a birthday as ever. :)
I have also been doing some more exploring and, although it was right in town, I took my kayak out for the first time. It was a lovely 2-hour paddle and I really enjoyed it. No pics since I didn't have anything to protect my phone, which is a good thing since I immediately almost capsized getting in the dang thing. Graceful.
I'm also taking a quick trip to Austin this weekend. Even though it'll technically be August by then (holy cow), I'm counting it in with this month!
Craft-wise, I've been pretty productive this month. I made my lamp which is now happily at home in my office, and I have other projects under way. I am currently wrapping up some Mason jar lanterns for my gazebo! Pics to come when they're done.
Five Photos That Make Me Feel Beautiful
This was a little more difficult than I thought. I very rarely feel beautiful. Not in a sad, feel-bad-for-me, no self-esteem kind of way. I think it's rare for most people to really feel beautiful. But then I realized that I have some great photos that make me feel accomplished, happy, loved, and yes, I look pretty good in 'em, too! And those things make me feel beautiful.
With Tekita and Brittany, two of my best friends from grad school. I am proud and lucky to know them.
My bff/sister from another mister, Stefani, during my Christmas trip to visit her in Scotland.
You can find her blogging at Caught Read Handed!
My "little," Katherine. She is such a blessing to me and is possibly the best person I've ever known.
Lacy, Heather, and I enjoying desserts on a trip to run the Disney Wine and Dine Half-Marathon
last November. One of the best experiences of my life with the best people.
My precious baby cousin, Aven. I am not much for kids, but I love her and her
twin brother, Major, a whole awful lot.
