1921-1927

1921. a successful flight, on my own, traveling from grand rapids to California, arriving safely and stretching a little bit in the independent department 

1922. a gorgeous drive up to Lake Tahoe, special time with mom and dad english, getting them all to myself

1923. attending a surprisingly fun and enjoyable wedding- not because i don't like weddings, but because i was unsure of who i would know or worried if i was out of place or it would be awkward. it was none of those things! so fun hanging out with my cousins and aunt and uncle, even making new friends with people i used to know a long time ago. 

1923. an open bar which again, challenged me to be an adult and confidently walk up to the counter asking for "a gin and tonic please."

1924. deliriously sunny weather every day, and a perfect sunday to sleep in, wine taste and two if my favorite vineyards with mom and dad, picnic, learn about wine, and just a abundance of love and contentment. 

1925. knowing my kids are safe and loved back at home wth my own folks and even nathan watching them a little too..

1926. finding peace in placing ben in a school we feel good about. 

1927. olive's skin! it's actually soft and clear once in a rarity!!
