mission: ice cream cake

so s's birthday is saturday and while i have the evening planned out (we going here!) i still am working on two things- birthday gift and ice cream cake.

so i started the cake part today but baking the actual cake part. i'm sort of just going to let it go and take shape as i complete certain things. hopefully it turns out alright. i'm sure it'll be great!

last night was truly a great evening spent with friends. no matter how the meal was the time spent together was fantastic. and seeing Sam's show was great.

my biggest mission lately is getting my new office/escape in order. it's been going very well and everything (almost) is physically in the room there's just a few (alright a lot) left to actually make it's way to a new spot to keep.

maybe pictures will follow once it's completely, i'm rather proud of it...

thankfulness

i'm so thankful to be blessed with amazing people around me.
tonight, s + me are going to see our dear friend Sam play a show in kc.
he's just released a new record and we're excited to support him.
check it out and download it free here.

alright. that's it. now off to eat some yummies at la bodega with simon and cathe

sleep

a natural state of bodily rest.

lately i can't seem to get much of any. actually that's a lie, when i sleep it is absolutely magnificent but the trouble comes when the time comes when i should be sleeping. currently it is 1:40am and I work at 9am. what's wrong here?

i don't really feel exhausted during the day but it's frustrating waiting up for hours and hours until i'm tired to actually lie down and rest my eyes, and mind.

the problem is that when i lay down, my mind becomes flooded with thoughts, ideas, to do lists and other things i shouldn't be worrying about at days end.

now it's time to attempt to fall asleep.

adieu,

ponder this one-

each and every breath you take, you then exhale into the universe forever. why not exhale goodness each time you breathe?
maybe it'll make the universe a little more beautiful.

i'm a mrs. now and while life hasn't changed too much, it sure has been busy.

i write this snuggling up next to two of my furry friends and i couldn't be happier. i just got back from being away for the weekend, the first time we've been away from each other since the wedding and it was hard. i'm glad i was so busy because i wouldn't have made it through. i can't believe how easy it was to make the ultimate commitment to sb. it was a no brainer. i love him and he loves me and our lives are going in the same direction and we want the same things out of life so of course it was easy.

we definitely are surrounding by the most amazing people out there. the entire weekend wouldn't have gone the way it did if it weren't for our family and friends. we are surrounded by love.

maybe some pictures soon- trying to get life in order for the next new adventure- the house :)

later
