Evening Thoughts [Commitment, Kid Spirit, and DIY]

Finishing the 11th day (in a row!) of my 30 day yoga challenge is officially the most consistent, committed thing I've ever done. Not really, but close to it.  My year anniversary with Jacksonville, living under the SAME roof, in a couple of weeks will be a major milestone too. Got Leslie in on the yoga madness yesterday too! Even after Al's Pizza $1 wine night. Commitment . So much goodness. My casual walk to the pier tonight turned into an amateur gymnastics show, flying attempts with the powerful wind giving me kid-like vigor, sporadic lunges, and a random sprint to home at the end. Here's to being a kid again.  The kid section in the library is one of my new favorite hangouts.  Oh hey, look what I did.  Painted these bad boys this week with the help of Meryl. DIY Success! Chalk paint is the best! DIY success! Chalk paint is the best! Sounded like it needed to be turned into a chant.  Lastly, if anyone is moving and hates unpacking, I gotcha. That's one of my weird p

High Five for Friday

Happy weekend!! My weekend will be busy with work, working all three of my jobs. Nanny tonight, tutor in the morning, nanny tomorrow night, Daniel Sunday morning.

After said drag show and discovering Nick's hidden talent for dancing, we chilled with stranger friends we met on our walk home in their high rise apartment with a ridic view of the beach, left my purse and all importants at their apartment, didn't realize til home and tired, and my most irrational option led to a trip to Hom

Little Bit of Everything [Baseball, Water, Labor Day]

Happy 1st of September and Labor Day, friends!  The last couple of weeks have been filled with greatness liiiike... Lots of fun with this guy... Two half days at work very well spent. On Wednesday, Nick and I had planned to paddle board but a date mix-up led us to a Fish Fry  Grill with his team, hosted by his generous sponsor parents. They grilled up a portion of their 200lbs of personally caught Alaskan salmon and halibut. Fantastic. If only we hadn't just indulged in some deliciously filling MShack burgers, I would've enjoyed it even more! It was like an excited lightbulb went off in my stomach when I finally became hungry enough to eat it.  We spent the next day paddle boarding, Lemon Barring, and stumbling in on a Sam Hunt concert at Mavericks . The end of the night transformed from a unique situation into a fun, exciting and strangely romantic night.  An incredibly enjoyable time at a concert with Neighbor John and Leslie, cuttin a rug
