Back in Wisconsin for a family weekend meeting Evangeline. My mother’s garden patio is one of the most special places on this green earth. I’m so honored to get to sit in the natural beauty she fosters.

This is a little sneak peak of my second favorite thing that happened on July 24th. First and foremost Jig and Christian got engaged!! Yahoo and congratulations to you lovebirds. (you can see their family celebrating with smiley eyes to the right). 

Second big piece of news is that my darling niece was born safe and healthy this evening. 

Great day to be alive.

This morning I went on a very long walk thinking about all the wonderful things I’m blessed with. Every corner I rounded showed me some new beauty like this field of bright little buddies. 

Isn’t this world just magic!

While I’ve been studying Spanish my brilliant sister has been studying hard for the Foreign Service Exam. Today was her test, and guess what? SHE PASSED! I’m so proud of you Rachel. Congratulations for all the hard work you’ve already put in, I can’t wait to see what is up next for you!

Upside down and rain stained, that’s slightly how today felt. Brit was having a rough day so she came over and we watched crime dramas while trying to get some work done.. 

We ended the day out dining on a sun soaked patio by the river.

Lovely lazy backwards day.
