Lately: July

Reading:
Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
This is an easy pool read because it is so so good and not super long.
I'm honestly having to make myself stop so I don't finish it too fast!

The Sound -Noah Gundersen



COUNT ON ME -NEEDTOBREATHE



Pancakes -LANY

Watching:
Finally caught up on the last six episodes of Nashville, thanks Hulu!
All I can say is oh em gee. 

Wearing:
Switched it up the past couple weeks and did light nails, really loving OPI's Don't Bossa Nova Me Around

Running:
Last weekend was my second year running the Moonlight Bootlegger 5K.
I was only a couple seconds off from having an identical finish time from last year and only had one head lamp mishap. I'd call that a win win. Next up Butterfly Fund 5K on 8/12.

Plexus "pink drink" [SLIM] all day every day.
This pre-biotic is a life changer.

HOW is July almost over? August here we come!

Weekend Recap: 8/20-8/21

This weekend was go go go! 

Saturday, we were up bright and early in our purple and blue to run for Ellison in the Butterfly Fund 5K. I had never run a race as part of a team before and it was such an awesome experience!

We have a really wonderful work family and I loved all of us being out there to support Deborah and her sweet family!

After a quick shower and stop by Ham and Goody's for mom's favorite lemon cookies, I was off to Gatlinburg. I was lucky that work and family schedules lined up and I could spend Saturday afternoon and night with mom, dad, and Sophie for Olympics, laughs, and mom's amazing dinner. Sunday, the Gatlinburg team was on set for the GAC Top 20 shoot. The rain cleared out just in time for some great shots at Ober Gatlinburg and downtown.

Now on to another full week!

Wouldn't want it any other way..

"No matter our dreams, you'll always be on my Christmas card list"

  This weekend marks the two-year anniversary of my fabulous little Molly Albin and I winning "Best Big and Little" at Zeta Tau Alpha's annual White Violet Banquet. To say we were unprepared for the award would be an understatement; in fact I think we talked through the introduction to the award, typical. 

If I had to make a list of my three best friends, my momma not included, Molly would have to be at the top of my list. The countless stories of our antics still come up in everyday conversation and  we still laugh till we can't breathe. This girl has been there with me through it all. It would be a lie to say we haven't had our fights, even not speaking for a while. Lesson learned from that: never rank a relationship over a friendship. But we worked it out and have a stronger friendship today because of it! I cherish our nights out together and I don't know where I'd be without her.

Life gets crazy, people get busy, and suddenly lunch dates become a thing of the past. Texting helps to bridge that gap, but stories are so much better in person. So thank goodness for blogs!! Molly tries to update her blog, Good Golly Miss Molly, at least once a week and as embarrassing as it sounds it's how I keep up with her hectic life as she does with me through my blog. And it looks like we'll have to keep tabs on each other through our blogs for the next couple of months, with me moving to Nashville next month and Molly interning in Knoxville this summer. So till then we'll live it up during these last four weeks packed with Mexican graduation dinners, me running the half marathon, surviving finals, a couple pool days thrown in there, and finally graduation! No matter what life throws at me I will always know this girl has my back.We'll be friends forever because let's be honest, she already knows too much about me.
