So it's been 6 months...

Wow, 6 months since my last post.  My oh my how life has changed.  So here's the last 6 months in pics...

I've ziplinned on Catalina Island, Rapunzeled for Halloween, played with college roomies, resigned from job with youth in College Station, rocked in 2013 with my family, bridesmaided in the wedding of a college roomie...and moved to Midland where I'm now the registrar for Worldview Academy by fall/spring and associate camp director of sorts during the summer.  

So I'm once again a west Texan and I love it.  I forgot how great my hair does here...also how awful dry skin is.  I definitely miss my church & friends in CStat, but I'm pumped about getting back into camp life.  

So there you go.  Year 29 is a little more than half way over & so far it's included a career change, a move & putting a house on the market (it's still for sale, you should buy it!) but nothing else too drastic. :) And I'm loving it.  Come visit me in Midland...we'll go ride a pump jack.  Or at least go look at one.  :)

Check me out on Etsy!

Well I have a new adventure in my life!  My friend Venessa & I have decided to open an Etsy shop & sell wreaths!  A few weeks ago we had a craft night & ended up making the exact same wreath.  We each made one for a co-worker & after having several people say, "you could sell these!" we've decided to do just that!

So check out our shop...

We have four wreaths available right now, two fall and two winter.  Our plan is to add more each season.  Our accessories are all removable so that you can change them out seasonally.  And eventually we want to sell accessories a la carte.  Check us out!

My Ultimate Birthday

July 26 marked a big day...my ultimate (last...or the first of many?) birthday.  I turned 29 and since it's all darkness after this (New Girl anyone?) I decided to go out with a bang!  Thursday (Wednesday night actually) kicked off the celebration of what I am planning to be a year long adventure!  If the Great 28 can be topped (can it get any better than co-staring in an internationally viewed commercial that has enabled all kinds of fun?!) it will!  Also since turning 28 a year ago, I've been planning some sort of London Olympic themed birthday...as the world has counted down to the Opening Ceremonies, I've considered it a countdown to my birthday.  Come on, you know if your bday coincided with the Olympics, you'd do it too!  

In honor of the Olympics, everything was London or internationally themed...a banner staring the royal family...

My sweet roommate Erin set out a London mug & lots of pretties (including a chocolate peanut butter cupcake!) for my birthday morning...

I had some friends over Friday night & encouraged them to don their favorite fascinator & join us for a jolly good time.  They rose to the occasion & I loved it!

Cupcakes were topped with double decker busses, Big Ben, taxis & British guards (and pearls)...

And yes, William & Kate were in attendance as well.  

Dinner represented our favorite things from around the world...

Even our beverages got in the spirit thanks to some awesome Drink Flair!  

It was such a fun weekend!  I think 29 is going to be a good one!  Erin saw a sign the other day & we've adopted it as our theme.  It'll definitely be the theme of year 29:  

Wake up & be awesome.  

I got this idea to make an Olympic themed shirt...here's a sneak peak:

I think it's safe to say mission accomplished for today!  :)  Who needs Pinterest?
