A list of things to be reeeeally happy for!

1. On Saturday I took one of my best friends Marisa out to the Sherman Library Gardens and it was magical. We met a fat cat, saw the biggest coy fish, and turtles-- needless to say the gardens were amazing! After this we got sushi and went to a k-makeup store. Perfect day. 2. A lot of the times, being a youth leader I am buying my girls coffee and treating them, which I love to do. It makes it extra special when people buy me coffee. I had a big sister date, where she absolutely would not let me pay, and it was such a treat. 3. Yesterday I did something I’ve always wanted to do. You know that scene from the princess diaries where they are throwing darts at paint filled balloons? Well me and Josie spent hours doing this at the park and talking about healing, and closure and what that tends to look like. It was so sweet. 4. Having people who mentor and love me well, so I can be filled to overflow onto my students. 5. Skype dates with Angie!! I miss her so. 6. Almond chocolate chip perfect bars 7. Doing brand work for Health-Ade means getting a ton of free kombucha, which makes me stoked. 8. The peace that Jesus left us with has not left us. It will not leave us. We can walk with peace even in the midst of chaos and shambles. 9. Endless hope 10. The fruits of faithfulness- the power in declaring that it is well despite circumstances. 11. That silly feeling when you ate your snack, but reach for it because you forgot you ate it already! 12. Eating homemade turkey burgers with enzo. 13. Always getting boba with my siblings. 14. How utterly hilarious my littlest sister has become! 15. Danielle made us cinammon buns and got me coffee. Me, frankie, her, enzo, and their baby watched stranger things and ate wingstop all afternoon. It was way too fun. 16. When babies smile at you because they recognize you. 17. Your suffering isn’t in vein. There’s so much purpose behind it that we can’t see in the midst of it. This is a promise. 18. Stories of redemption 19. Applying to be a brand ambassador for Perfect Bar today. 20. Christmas season is almost here 21. When there’s so many ideas in your head that you can’t focus and execute even one. 22. Wedding planning is absolutely the most blissful and stressful harmony. I’m on the edge of both loving and hating it. 23. Polka dots!

HAPPY!

1. When my friends parents greet me with kisses on the cheek- it makes me feel like family. 2. cookies with mini m&ms and mini ghirardelli dark chocolate chips probably make up my soul 3. being a brand ambassador for lava essentials and being an influencer for 31 bits has been soo dreamy. it’s nice to feel like you’re smart/capable/ entrusted to build a brand’s content. 4. finding your calling! 5. I went to a lavender festival not to long ago, and I got to pick out the brightest lavender bushel to take home and it still smells divine 6. peace that can not be stolen is the peace Jesus has to offer. In the midst of pain, trials, and discouragement, I have peace, because the holy spirit did a thing in my heart. 7. takeout wingstop = coziest food ever 8. Saturday morning coffee dates with JJ 9. my hydroflask goes with me everywhere I go and I don’t know how I lived without one 10. it’s that part of summer where it’s too hot to do anything with my hair, so I look taller because that's how much volume and frizz comes with the heat/humidity 11. nail polish that lasts longer than a week 12. the lady at mother’s who helped me find vitamins for more energy was the sweetest thing 13. people who serve other people 14. colourpop love bug matte dry on lippy stick 15. having friends who are going to love on me as I walk through life 16. the balance of being mentored, and mentoring others 17. the rolls of chub on baby's’ thighs!!! 18. when my dad thinks of life hacks that are absurd and dangerous like using a drill to clear the insides of zucchinis so he can stuff them with rice and ground beef

1. Gardening words like, “organic” or, “cultivate” and how their meanings have been grown to descriptions of people/actions. 2. Being welcomed back to write another ice cream article for Darling this month! 3. Being the go to ice cream lady 4. the tougher the soil, the cooler it is when roots grow!! (that garden imagery again!!) 5. double explanation points !! !! !! !! 6. How Sean plays my baby brother, and lecturing father in equal parts 7. Making onigiri and eating strawberry kit kats for Zo and mine’s date day this week. 8. Upon entering the country coming home from Japan, I got into a debate with TSA on whether matcha kit kats were better than the strawberries. I ignorantly said matcha just HAD to be better, but really- they were right.. everyone needs to try strawberry kit kats #humbled. 9. My really good friend dre has the most impressive eyebrows i’ve ever seen, and it makes me happy every single time 10. getting into a half laughing half incredibly heated debate with Zo while watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt over Titus and the Lemonading episode 11. After two years of feeling like I’ll never find my calling, and walking from one job to an internship, things have begun to line up, and I’m going back to school part time as a journalist major! 12. Milk highlighter! 13. Seeing the divine-ness of a Creator’s attention to detail- in the way I am a tree, and He is a pruner- cutting off the branches that no longer yield good fruit.. 14. frozen dark chocolate covered blueberries with matcha sprinkled on top! 15. eating something, forgetting you ate it, and reaching for it, to be stunned and kind of embarassed 16. I really miss Angie, and walking around, talking, and drinking coffee all day in Tokyo. 17. low key 18. the satisfaction of deep cleaning a room! 19. peace that isn’t influenced by circumstances 20. endlessly living and planting myself wherever there is hope! 21. estate sales with grams, especially when she makes brownies and breakfast burritos 22. brand ambassador-ing for lava essentials!

Stuck my head out of the window while the Uber was shooting across the bridge to grab this portrait of this very aesthetically pleasing motorcyclist. My dad who was sitting right beside me in the cab was not at all impressed by my antics.
