Silence

This week was hectic. Even beyond Monday’s events in Boston. I didn’t have one moment of alone time – it was go-go-go. Today is Friday, and I’m working from The Manor. It’s quiet. And I’m loving it. I saw this photo on Fourth Lake and was so drawn to it, as it exudes peacefulness. I added the Lao Tzu quote, as it rings so true – experiencing and welcoming silence is not always easy, but highly necessary. Another Tzu piece of wisdom that I love is the famous – “A journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.” Anyways, I digress. I hope you are able to take some time in the following few days to sit and enjoy the silence. Have a wonderful weekend!

Dunton Hot Springs

My older sister is getting married in less than a month, and I could not be more excited for her and her fiance. They chose the most gorgeous wedding location in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, which is an hour outside of Durango, where my parents just bought a house. They have rented the entire “town” – which holds 44 guests (small wedding!). The scenery is beautiful, as are the bride and groom. McKenzie and Bryan are coming too, so we’ll spend the weekend gallivanting around Colorado before the wedding on Sunday evening. Check out these pictures on Style Me Pretty – eeps! Cannot wait.

Halfway to 30

One of my best friends since 3rd grade, Brittany, turned 25 today (i.e. halfway to 30). We had a dinner celebration last night at her and Aaron’s new gorgeous townhouse. The food, drinks and conversation were just perfect. Happy birthday, Britt!

A Hoppy Easter

I super love Easter. The church service is always amazing – it’s a beautiful thing to celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the grave (the ever popular: He is risen!). Our church, Bayou City Fellowship, was packed, which made me so happy. We went to my parent’s house afterwards for Easter lunch + got little Easter baskets, filled with gift cards to Starbucks + Jonathan’s The Rub, healthy snacks (we’re both very picky), + prosecco with the cutest bunny glove ever (see pictures below). I hope you had a great celebration as well!

Cannot wait to marry this guy in a few months!

Four Years of Travel in Review

I love to travel. If you’re read more than one blog post of mine, you’ll likely know this. I have a goal of going to 50 countries by the time I’m 50, and I’m on track – Indonesia (where we’re going in December) will be my 25th country to visit (and I’m 25). Traveling is the most exhilarating thing in the world, and as a photo-lover, the best inspiration. I look through my pictures often (and print most!) – I picked a few of my favorites from my last four years’ (international-only) travel. If you want to go to any of these places, ask me! I’d love to share advice. Have a good Good Friday!
