road trip

after that drive last weekend i was so glad to get out of the car

and hated the thought of getting back in.

driving. driving. and more driving.

avio winery

this is where the ceremony was held, with the rolling hills in the background

the beautiful bride. yes it poured rain, right as the reception was to start. but that didnt stop or dampen (well just the ground, food and our clothes haaahs)

anything. the night was perfect.

and all that driving...so worth it.

june gloom and a road trip

I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER COME

update:

on my back issue from the other day.

i am not crazy

there is something mildly wrong.

turns out i have mild degenerative changes (which is pretty common)

and there is a mild right-sided curvature of the spine.

so I'm a little angled back there.

maybe my right butt cheek patroons to the side more? haha fat chance.

nothing a little physical therapy and aspirin cant help.

at least my questions were answered.

Happy Friday! and Happy early Momma's Day to all the momma's out there!

favorite smell

CoCo mademoiselle Chanel.

for the past two and half months my lower back has been aching, with no known trauma.
and progressively getting worse.
i think im pretty tough, but when i cant even bend down to pick up my poopaloop (kitty)
or put a toilet seat cover down, i think i may have a problem.
so im off to get a back x-ray. yippee.

by the way: last two weeks of classes ..

who else is ready for summer?

well hello there may

i cant believe its may already.

it feels like just yesterday i was singing christmas carols.

i am so excited to finally get in with all the cool kids with instagram.

i heard/saw everyone talk about it, and i felt soo left out.

thank you jesus for allowing androids to pick it up.

whoo hoo.

im going to attempt to do this religiously this month. 7 days late.

#7: something that inspires you

looks like His light is shining through the clouds down on us all despite all the clouds or whatever else may be in the way to keep shining on.



when its hot out...

head to stagecoach

(i mean like 107 three days straight) 

sooo much fun. if you havent gone before it is a must.

but please bring sun screen unless you want to be a lobster.

and drink loooots of water!
