$3,395 It wasn’t the most amount of money raised for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Backyard Ball 2019 out of all the Austin’s Finest honorees, but I am so impressed and amazed by the generous support of my friends and fam (and Tenchi One Martials Arts)! Last night was the big event, and I felt so loved…
… and am real freakin’ happy about it. It’s all I wanted, after all. This weekend is shaping up to be the same—yes! And then, late summer hits and all hell breaks loose with travel, adventure, and celebation 🙂 I’m grateful to be included in a very strong and welcoming community in the Cystic Fibrosis…
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…
I feel good. And it’s not just the IV hydration drip my coworkers and I went to get during lunch! After a good weekend and week of solid workouts, good eating, yoga, and a new hiking spot, I’m just content. Which isn’t to say there wasn’t anxiety and emotions this week, just that we’re dealing…
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…
This marks the FOURTH weekend IN A ROW that I’ve been in Austin, without plans. This is (the last weekend) a record since I moved back, and probably a record for a long time in wherever I called home. It was very intentional, and it’s been very, very fun—but, actually really challenging as well. It’s…
Unreal. Turns out, this is how I describe Lake Tahoe EVERY TIME I’M THERE. But … it is. How is it so gorgeous, viewed from a ski run, from the top of the mountain, from the shores?! This last-minute, celebratory, easy, ski trip was absolutely perfect. Solo skiing, four (fully-grown, tall) adults stuffed into a…
Typical: A ridiculously awesome OC weekend kicks off with birthday happy hour at the Cannery, bleeds into Cassidy’s and a late night, Saturday brings the bridal shower I flew in for (amazing), a lil day drinkin’ at Pacific City, a lil night partyin’ in Newport, and Sunday beach flag football and then volleyball all afternoon,…
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!).…
Over the weekend, my dad and I engaged in what I lovingly call “prison labor”, where we move stones around my backyard. This time, we were moving half of my limestone patio to the other side of the yard to claim more grass and build a patio from my house out my giant sliding glass…
