Always love a quick moment with my sweet husband.

My lifelong friends - Jennifer, Alli, Kelly and Jamie. We organized our youth group reunion a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. I love these ladies!

It has been a crazy packed couple of weeks - we had our youth group reunion which was a blast, I interviewed for a new job (and got it- more on that later) and had a lot of events with family and friends. Also my friend Jess and I found roommates for the Influence Conference via Twitter. The internet is real y'all!

Sorry for being a lazy blogger! 

Feeding - Eating a ton of grilled corn on the cob, crushed ice (omg my new fridge makes the best ice and I eat it all day long - and yes I know it's bad for your teeth), and popsicles. Brighton is obsessed with roasted brussel sprouts so we eat those probably once every two weeks. 

Reading - I am reading "Heavens to Betsy and Betsy In Spite of Herself" right now. It is an easy but really enjoyable read. I have so many more books from my reading list to get through - I hope I can do it. 
Conceding - That working out is really the best stress reliever ever. My right knee is bad and I always end up with shin splints, but darn it if I don't love running in the summer heat. It is so satisfying!

Needing - To paint the ceiling, crown molding and the window sash in the kitchen (then we will be done and I can take "after" photos and show them to the world!). Also needing to finally set up our office - the stacks of papers are piling up!

Gearing up for - Sushi night with friends tonight, a baseball game Friday night with friends and a Saturday at the water park with Matt and Brighton. 

Procrastinating -  Painting this huge mirror frame and ordering curtains and curtain rods for our bedroom. Plus, hanging our gallery wall in the dining room. I'm a little weary of home projects. 

Thankful for - Again, this wonderful home. Every night after dinner as I am cleaning up, or putting the kiddo to bed, I reflect on how long it took us to get here and how much work we have put in and just count my stars. Seriously, I feel so lucky. 

Also, I got a new tattoo - my second actually - a few weeks ago and I am so thankful for how beautiful it turned out. If you follow me on Instagram you have seen it, but I have wanted a realistic watercolor type tattoo of a dogwood tree branch with its flowers in bloom. I found an amazing artist here in Charlotte and his workmanship speaks for itself. Dogwood's flowers mean endurance and this piece of art is a reminder of what I have endured, and to continue to endure when life gets messy and hard. It is also the NC state flower, so it has a double significance for me.  I am in love with this thing!
