Glamping...

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's glam camping...

Because we don't do tents...

I'm still not 100% sure where we were this weekend, but on Friday, we headed out to a friend's camp with about 30 people and a lot of liquor, in pursuit of a good time. And, when I say camp, I mean two seriously indescribably gorgeous, multi-level houses in the middle of 500 plus acres of land on the river. There were wilderness adventures, drinking, dancing, swimming, fishing, cooking, and a whole lot of laughing. We came back last night with sunburns, bug bites, hangovers, and incredible memories that we'll carry with us always. 

 Robert Frost was right, when you take the road less traveled... 

it really does make all the difference...

She Was a Showgirl..

World...

Meet Lola!

She is my 18 day old French Bulldog pup...

I've got a while before she can leave her mom and live with me, but it helps that I am friends with the breeders and can see her anytime I want.

Isn't she awesome?!

It's all comes down to raising money for the Childrens Shelters...

But who am I kidding...

Auctioning off hot men for charity is not a bad way to spend a Thursday evening...

Focusing on Love...

It's been awhile since I've felt inspired; felt drawn to create something that was just bursting out of me. I'm still in that place. I find myself just being... enjoying the little things, not bothered by much, and just filled with gratitude for the simple moments. So, in case you wanted to know what that entails... here are a few things that are filling my heart with joy lately...

Side note: I started this post Monday but got super busy and things around here started spinning at warped speed; so I had to hold it for awhile... This week has been like continuous kicks in the stomach, but this little list of things are making it a bit more bearable. More changes are on the horizon it seems and it has not been determined whether they will be good or not... so, I'm going to focus on this; the things that make everything worth it... because this is what makes my life...

• Family time
• Coming to the realization that I am much less self-conscious than I was years ago, only because my family tried to embarrass me and I found it funny. And, it really was funny...
• Baby laughs
• Sushi and Pretty Little Liars Girls nights with one my favs
• Puppy breath...
• Pages of text messages venting to a friend who just gets it, because you just don't have the energy to actually have a conversation
• Movie marathons on rainy weekends
• Forehead kisses
• The smell of chlorine after kids have been in the pool all day
• New friends who think you are absolutely awesome and hilarious :-)
• Getting to know how absolutely awesome they are too, and getting to make their introduction to a new city a bit easier because you remember what it was like when you were the new girl in town
• The feeling of just being in your own space, especially curling up in your own bed... it never gets old
• Knowing the weekend is just around the corner...
