lazy hazy crazy days of summer

i've been summoned to the blogging world.

my blog has become boring. don't worry i'm bored with it too. obviously. but.. since i've been summoned and the fact that its 12:51 in the afternoon and i'm watching pride and prejudice for the 2nd time today(no shame).. i will blog.

if you look at my last post you will see the magnificent bucket list we made. it was a good thought. the problem is summer should never have an agenda. and as of now i will say its been the best summer that i can remember...

i golf. as much as possible. so far this year the club has only slipped out of my hands 1 time. putting 1 other person at risk. i've since invested in a golf glove. for everyone's safety of course. and because it makes me look like a better golfer. its a work it progress but i quite enjoy it.

such a sad day when lilian moved. some of my favorite summer memories are with lil. but she is onto bigger and better things. she's all grown up. miss you lils.

family fishing trips. the funniest part is trying to get little bennett to touch the fish. that kid gets the pwillys over everything. family is my favorite.

the majority of my summer has been spent working golfing and playing the guitar. you'd think i'd be really good. but don't be fooled. although if you like tswift you'd enjoy jamming with us.

MOVIES!!

summer faves. madagascar 3. and katy perry

madagascar was the best midnight movie i have ever been to. there was our group of 9. and 4 other people in the theather. in case you weren't aware.. its imossible for me to stay awake at night while watching movies. obvioulsy midnight movies pose a problem. i found myself nodding off until firework started playing. suddenly a full on katy perry dance party broke out during the movie. amazing.

STRAWBERRY DAYS!

one of my favorite times of the year.

strawberries and cream.

parade. carni. rodeo.

family.

4th of july.

has to be my favorite holiday other than christmas. fireworks BBQ's family. its always a good day.

this makes me laugh so hard every time i look at it. we got a cat from a little girl with a sign that sat free kittens. at first we named him derek. then we named him sloan. then he got named oliver. and now i'm pretty sure its rellabella. poor kitten is probably so confused. this is bennett giving kisses. apparently we need to have a talk about making out.

this is funny cause its us. 

crazy stupid love.

i love it. its perfect.

especially this part.

10. You are beautiful. You are enough. The world we live in is twisted and broken and for your entire life you will be subjected to all kinds of lies that tell you that you are not enough. You are not thin enough. You are not tan enough. You are not smooth, soft, shiny, firm, tight, fit, silky, blonde, hairless enough. Your teeth are not white enough. Your legs are not long enough. Your clothes are not stylish enough. You are not educated enough. You don’t have enough experience. You are not creative enough.

There is a beauty industry, a fashion industry, a television industry, (and most unfortunately) a pornography industry: and all of these have unique ways of communicating to bright young women: you are not beautiful, sexy, smart or valuable enough.

You must have the clarity and common sense to know that none of that is true. None of it.

You were created for a purpose, exactly so. You have innate value. You are loved more than you could ever comprehend; it is mind-boggling how much you are adored. There has never been, and there will never be another you. Therefore, you have unique thoughts to offer the world. They are only yours, and we all lose out if you are too fearful to share them.

You are beautiful. You are valuable. You are enough.

phone vomit

because my life doesn't feel interesting enough for words at this time.
or i lack the energy to add any detail to make it sound interesting.
regardless..

my life lately in pictures.

i love making things.

got my old friend back out.
me and donkey kong used to be tight.

i'm trying to get better at knitting.
if anyone wants to lend me their grandma..
i'd appreciate it more than you know.
knitting is hard.

we entertain ourselves at work.

solid joke.

"it looks like it hurts."
top knot/no make up days.

dove chocolate.
it always makes me happy.
thanks for being inspiring.

i make bracelets.

bubble baths.
sooth my soul.
yes i took this while in the bath.
do you suddenly feel inappropriate?
good.

this is funny because
1. this is the cleanest my room has been in a while.
2. if you had to guess my age by this picture..
i'd be missing 10 or so years.
