Y’know how most of August has been pretty chill, and I’ve been staying in Austin and sort of catching up to myself? I’m about to get away from myself again, with all sorts of trips and travels and events coming up! And I turn 35. 35 is my basketball number, and probably gonna be an…
I did some stuff. Look at these house projects! First, I hung my stick on the wall like art. My brother came in and was like “Nice driftwood art!” I said, “That’s trash from your trash tree that fell on my house!” Which it is. But it’s also badass and looks badass on the wall,…
Can you imagine being friends, by choice, with someone for twenty seven years?! It seems like forever, but that’s how long my childhood bestie and I have been friends, and this past weekend with her in town was the closest I’ve felt to her in years. I am SO lucky to have her in my…
Today, we’re just doin’ a traditional gratitude list. Walking Town Lake My parents’ porch overlooking Lake Austin Ranch waters at Ranch 616 Crab claws Justine’s Athleta shopping with my mama (bought this dress I never would have if I hadn’t tried it on) Yard work … how awesome is it to have a yard to…
I’m back to 85%, which feels pretty freakin’ good after almost two weeks of not feeling healthy—sheesh! Montezuma may not be totally gone, but he’s dormant at the moment (how long does it take for a parasite named after an Aztec emperor to pass through the system?) Looking forward to a weekend of relaxing with…
So I drove up to my parents’ house to do my taxes tonight … and there were multiple cars there. Turns out I walked into an impromptu family dinner, so my taxes aren’t done but I get to hang with my fam which is, after all, why I moved back … And then I grudgingly…
Did y’all notice I missed last week’s FGF? I was in full Bachelorette mode. It was a smashing success, if I do say so myself—and I do. Five days (world’s longest bachelorette party) of girl time with hilarious shenanigans, deck dance parties, champagne, amazing food, yoga, and endless hugs and kisses. More posts to come…
This gratitude list was meant to be about my Marriage Certificate Trio visit—for which I am still obviously exceptionally grateful for—but this week contained so much more… How is it possible only 7 days have passed since the last Feel Good Friday? Last weekend was a marathon, epic Austin weekend (sans ANY visits to bars—hooray!).…
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
Aspen Real life. This Aspen/Vail trip was characterized by getting to share real life with my best friends—often, visits turn into vacations, but this one got to include couch nights, deep conversations and also the complete lack of conversation that characterizes the deepest friendships. We went out and had a blast too, but I was…
