My Beautiful Washington

I'm back home this week in my beautiful Washington! It has been a much needed breath of fresh, cooler air. I came out for a jewelry training and to visit friends and family. Oh, how I have missed my dear friends! There is nothing quite like sitting up early in the morning, laughing hysterically over some silly story. I love how silly I become with certain friends around me. There is a voice of reason in my head that rolls its eyes at me when I get this way! But, I love, love, love turning into that crazy 16-year-old self again without a care of what anyone thinks of me!

I am hoping to keep this crazy girl with me long enough to enjoy the upcoming YSA dance and conference next weekend. I haven't yet found a friend who brings this out in me. I'm hoping that spending time with my Washington friends will help loosen me up as I return to Utah. It's hard to explain.

Enjoy your wonderful week!

Here is a post all about the beauties of my beautiful Washington at Mona's Musings!

It's Here!

My terribly missed card reader arrived in the mail this week! I have missed that little thing for two months, with 345 pictures to show for it! (Most of those pictures were from my nieces playing with my camera on the Fourth.)

Next week is going to be a busy and exciting week. I have an audition for an orchestra that I am frantically trying to resurrect my old flute solos for! On top of that, I am leaving for a vacation the same day as the audition. I have a lot of practicing and packing to do this weekend! Oh, the Pioneer Day Parade is Monday, which I am hoping to go see (depending on how my flute solos are coming!)

Here is a collage of highlights from my summer so far to enjoy while I sort out the adventures that merit their own post!

Have a beautiful weekend!
Paka!

Coming soon: The reveal of two completed quilts!!

Adventures Galore

This summer has been wonderful so far. I participated in a friend's wedding. I went on a road trip with another friend. I attended a baby shower where I showed off the baby quilt I have in the making. I spent a wonderful Fourth of July with two of my nieces! I have tons of pictures to share of all these fun activities, but I can't load them onto my computer until my card reader (that I left in Washington back in May) arrives in the mail.

Until then, have a wonderful week!
