I feel so refreshed today! I’m sure sleeping in until 8:17AM has something to do with it. (My internal clock wakes me up at 8AM every day without fail.) And I bet my caprese salad breakfast of champions with a shot of water, Centrum and ungodly amounts of vitamin D has something to do with it as well. But mostly, I think it’s because yesterday was AWESOME. My birthday was spent cleaning – something that ordinarily sucks, but surprisingly DIDN’T yesterday BECAUSE it was my birthday – and baking!! Flowers and chocolate were delivered from my sweet man, followed by a fancy hors d’oeuvres party with my girls from church. OH. And cake. Puh-leeenty of cake!! Cake that I believe I’ll have to schedule a snack break for right. about. now… Ahh, that’s goood.
I have a confession. One of my current pastimes is stalking the Instagrams associated with various celebrities’ Twitter accounts. I have no idea why. I suppose I just find it fascinating that these people have actual, real lives. My most recent stalkings? Well.. They’re actually people I have no connection or loyalty to at all. *Cough cough* Say, Selena Gomez or Kourtney Kardashian? *Cough cough.* Which brings me to – I GET MY IPHONE ON SUNDAY!! And although I can’t promise my Instagrams will be as interesting as a celeb’s… You can bet anything that I’m ready to jump on that bandwagon! YAAHOOO!!!
You know how I can get slightly obsessive about things I love? Like eating quiche for two meals a day, every day, for two weeks? Or listening to a two-song playlist on repeat all day long? I have a similar obsession with my TV shows… Especially when they end after FIVE glorious seasons of entertaining me. This past Friday, Chuck – otherwise known as the best show on television – ended for good. And I cried. And I criied. And I criiied. And then I locked myself in the bathroom and forced myself to get a grip. I’m much, much better now. For those of you who were concerned… :)
Song of the Week: Our God by Chris Tomlin. The worship team at Kaleo played this song on Sunday morning and although I’d heard it before, it resonated with me in a whole new way. I’ve been hooked ever since, and am committed to going into my 24th year with these lyrics as my anthem. “Our God is greater. Our God is stronger. God, You are higher than ANY other. Our God is Healer. Awesome in power. Our God.” AMEN, Internet!! To listen to this keeper, go HERE!!
This Thursday I’ll be sharing a peek into a super sweet and casual shoot with Sully’s breeder’s family! More specifically – the Dowell siblings! But until then, enjoy this small taste of the fun. Meet: Sully’s REAL parents, chasing after us at top speed!! It’s not a groundbreaking picture. But it makes me smile! ;)
