I really do love coming home. And I don't care if that makes me sound boring and routine-oriented. I have had a very exciting past few weeks and have enjoyed the blogging break (postcards are fun but don't really count...), but now that I am back and currently ignoring my laundry pile, I wanted to do a quick update on what's been going on. And because I have this weird rule that every post needs a picture, I dug this one up from a few months ago. And while I was looking around, I noticed that we have very few pictures of us without sunglasses on. Which is mysterious because maybe we don't even have eyes! And the sunglasses are just a casual cover-up. Note to self: Take more pictures of us with our eyes exposed.
Anyway, this past month I:
:: Ate every meal like it was my last (diet begins today. Maybe.).
:: Had Lasik eye surgery (which turned out to be just 50% awesome...you may now call me the one-eyed-wonder)
:: Sent Evan off on a two-week work trip. Which was as terrible as it sounds and only made bearable by a long visit with my lovely family.
:: Spent several days as a 'director' at a girls camp for my church. Equal parts awesome and exhausting.
:: Spent a week in the mountains at my grandparents cabin.
:: Caught up with old friends.
:: Started several very exciting projects which I can't wait to share with you!
:: Visited a Comedy Club and laughed so hard I cried as I watched my baby brother entertain a packed theater (he gets it from me).
:: Learned that Gesso is deathly afraid of fireworks.
:: Helped welcome home my super cool big brother + wife from a year in Korea.
:: Dusted off my paintbrushes in order to create a masterpiece for my mother's wall.
:: Met my newest nephew! Little Tosh is a black lab/great dane mix (oh you thought I meant human nephew?)
:: Quit my job. Because they didn't think me taking a month off of work was as super as I did. So for now I am going to be an awesome stay-at-home-wife.
:: Visited IKEA!! And I practiced so much self-control that I treated myself to another lamp (oops!).
:: Drove more miles than I care to remember (driving makes me fussy).
:: Visited more fabric stores than I knew what to do with. And now I have more fabric than I know what to do with.
Anyway, it's good to be back. I haven't cooked a meal in 3 weeks and I am so excited to make dinner tonight. Judge me if you want. But it's going to be DELICIOUS!!
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day.
