Celebrating 31 Years of Life


Rocking the shades Brandon gifted me.
Today was my 31st birthday. I love birthdays and everything they represent; another year to live and another year of new experiences. I woke up in a funk that was kinda hard to shake this morning. After treating myself to a 2 mile run with Maggie, making myself some scrambled egg whites loaded with veggies, and sipping a latte... I snapped out of my mood and was able enjoy MY day.

Autumn is just a little quicker than Maggie and I.
We made a FEAST for dinner. My sis-in-law and bro-in-law brought crab and snacks. Aut, Brandon and I made the rest.
Delicious brownies Aut made.
Last year I made a list of 30 things I love right now. I'm going to continue with tradition and do 31 things I love right now.

A link to last years list.

Angel Rocks

My sister Autumn is here with her husband Jeff right now and we've been having a great time. Today we went out Chena Hot Springs Road. We wandered around Chena Hot Springs Resort and grilled some sausages and then hiked Angel Rocks.

#photoadayjuly

I'm back with Fat Mum Slim's July photo a day challenge. This month I didn't do any collages just to give myself a little challenge. I also took every picture myself with my iPhone, as usual, and tried to do it the day of the challenge, even if I didn't have cell coverage to post the pic on Instagram.

Here are APRIL, MAY and JUNE to browse through.
