Happenings //
– Life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. It’s been messy and wonderful, all at the same time. It’s odd, but I’m growing and that’s all that matters.
– I have been spending more time focusing on myself and my needs (aka. taking hot lavender/oatmeal baths and spending less time on my laptop).
– Michael and I added a 3-cup Chemex to our coffee family. It’s adorable.
– We got our wedding photos back and oh my word – swooning over them all!
– I went to the Radio 104.5 Block Party with my sweet friend, Katelyn! It was an absolute blast seeing Wolf Alice, Saint Motel, Atlas Genius and Matt & Kim.
– I got a new tattoo! There’ll be a post on its meaning once it’s completely healed.
– I met up with my blog friend, Abby from Little City Adventures at Prince Street Cafe in Lancaster, PA. We chatted about marriage and life, and we walked around the market.
– My dad is getting married this weekend to one of the most wonderful ladies I know. I’m very happy for them.
