Celebrations!

This weekend was all about birthdays: my sister's quarter century bash and my Grammy's 94th(!).  I am so lucky to celebrate them! 

Ally planned a 70s themed roller skating party which turned out to be hilarious! So much laughing and solid fun! 

Here we are American Hustle-ing. We capped off the night by shutting down the rink with an interpretive couples skate to much applause. 👯

Also got to celebrate Grammy with a tea party. I recently read an article about your "spiritual age" (i.e. How old you feel or imagine yourself to be) and asked Grammy about it. Grammy said sometimes she feels young and sometimes feels 100 and never thought she'd live to the year 2000. For her spiritual age she stated "in my 40s because I was very busy then and helping people" and proceeded to list the zillion things she's done. This is a lady who likes having something to do. I guess that's a nugget to take from her experience: keep busy and help people. At 94, she still does despite hearing and vision loss and sometimes feeling 100. 

So much fun with my sweet family and friends in Raleigh this weekend! I can't tell you how freaking excited I am about moving here very soon. Every time I get to hang out with folks here it just feels like home...like this is what's been missing all along...and it's comforting to know I've made the intentional decision to step into the unknown and follow my heart to where it feels at ease. At this point, I'm six weeks away from diving into the joyful unknown of possibilities that lie ahead here. 

Until then, here's capturing what's present and real and adorable right now:


Goodnight!
