A Wonderful Mommy, A Birthday and A Purpose Project Completed.

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful Mommy!

I miss her very much as she is the other side of the world and I only see her a few times a year at most. 

She has taught me so much about love, life, faith, patience and relationships.

Walked me through some really tough seasons of life and been there for me to call day and night when I needed someone. 

She's awesome! And I am so thankful I am her daughter.

I apologize for not being around much here. To say life has been crazy is a little understatement.

Its as though life suddenly spun on its axis in the last month and I've been holding on for dear life.

We are moving this next week into our more permanent home (can I hear a unanimous woohoo!) so every spare moment is spent trying to pack our home again ready to move on Saturday. 

But this past Friday I celebrated a fun year with my gorgeous best friend and other half.

Birthday decorations. Free Starbucks. ManiPedi. DIY Magazine.

Dozen red roses. Walk near harbor. Dinner together.

Pretty perfect day. 

So thankful.

But while I'm updating.....

Here's how the Purpose Project 5k run went.

Our awesome team before the race. Not sure why I made a dorky pose haha.

My time for the race was even with my high school record.

So even though I didn't beat it. Thanks to this project I am at least back in shape again!

Which I couldn't be happier about. 

 Oh and just in case you were curious, the uni brow did wash off ;)

Although my hair still has a slight pink tint to it.

Much Love & THANKYOU so much to all my amazing sponsors!

Short but Sweet Visits.

Hey Sweet Friends,

I think this has been the longest blog break in a while for me. 

I am back from England now so hopefully will be back in the swing of things in the next few days.

I apologize for my lack of replying to emails and things, I hope to catch up with many of you soon.

It was a wonderful time to take a break and enjoy the precious time I had with my family and sister & now brother =)

The first picture is the view from my window at my parent's house.

Very different from my view here in the states. 

I will update y'all slowly about the wedding and things as it is such a joy to share such a precious memory.

My brother-in-law's (doesn't that sound awesome!) family came into town a few days after I did and we had dinner with them before the busyness of rehearsal dinners, bridal showers and other planning was in full force.

Such a fun evening spending time together enjoying our gathering to celebrate the start of Z&D's marriage.

We got to celebrate D's sweet sister's birthday.

I was so thankful to see them again, they have been leaving overseas the past year after living less than a mile from our old house.

So sweet reunions all round.

The sweet couple walked the archway for the ceremony up to my grandma's garage where we stored all the decorations to go in the gardens for the wedding.

They set it down and posed for a picture.

Aren't they sweet?

So thankful for encouraging sweet friendships.

The time was too short.

But I'm thankful that now we are all family, we shall hopefully see more of each other.

That's all for me today as I am still trying to unpack and get over jetlag.

Love you all!
