I met up with some friends at the local fair to see the farm animals, ride some rides and see some fun car events. They even had pig races! They were so cute!

Very shortly after the Tennessee trip, I was right back on a plane on my way to Missouri! I was the maid of honor at my childhood best friend’s wedding.

A bunch of my family and some friends all met in Tennessee for a fun vacation! My family had never been there before and we were all so excited.

A couple of us girls went to Palm Springs for a long weekend to relax and recharge. We booked a really cool hotel with 2 bedrooms. It was a wonderful place to recuperate from life.

I found out that there was a rare meteor shower happening soon. So, I reached out to my friends and asked if they would be interested in coming with me to Joshua Tree, where the sky is unencumbered by light pollution. They said yes! So, I quickly searched for the perfect airbnb and booked it! Shortly, we were all making our way to the house to watch the event and hang out.

My best friend and I were sitting at Starbucks writing together when I got a phone call from a random number. It was Lifestream calling to congratulate me on winning Taylor Swift tickets!

I got an unexpected call from a church friend. He had explained he won a weekend to Laughlin. He continued to explain that he and his wife weren’t going to be able to make it. He asked if I would be interested and available to use it. I was so shocked and grateful! Of course I said yes and thanked him a bunch. I was in disbelief of what was happening.

I don't remember the first time I got henna done, but when I did it I was obsessed! So every summer I try to get down to the beach so I can get some henna done.

A couple of us decided to make a trip to Orange County for the fair! It was really fun watching the pig races.

Almost every year, a few of us go to Glen Ivy Spa to celebrate one of my friend’s birthdays.

A couple of us girl friends went to a local evening farmer’s market.

My best friend and I decided last minute to head up the mountain to the local lake.

I had been looking at pop-up tent campers to purchase for a while, but the perfect one popped up at the perfect time!

A friend and I scheduled a zoo trip! We decided to head out early since it’s in the desert and it get hot quickly.

After very little planning, a bunch of us decided to get together at my house for a game night.

A few months ago, I found a wonderful new home for our donkey. He is living his best life with other donkeys, a little girl to love him and learning new things. We decided to get a different animal, one that was less destructive. We had agreed that a sheep would be a great addition to the farm.

Life gets busy and it’s easy to stop doing things that aren’t within your usual everyday activities. I had been super busy and hadn’t gone to church on Sunday for a while. So, the day before leaving for Ireland I decided it would be a good idea to get a little bit of extra positive energy in me before leaving. Wow, I am so glad that I did.

My friend had called me to ask if I was busy because he was heading out to go golfing solo. I happened to be free so I met him out there! He had joined a group forming a foursome with some older gentleman.

I had joined a group on Facebook a few months ago who host events for women. It looked like they all had so much fun at their event. So, when they posted that they would be doing a trip to Catalina Island, I was one of the first to book! I had never gone to one of these events, nor did I know anyone going. I met some amazing women and made some great new friends!

One of my friends was going to drive her parents to the airport, but asked if I would go with her so she didn’t have to sit alone in traffic on the way home. I thought it might be fun, so I said yes. Turns out, I was right!
