Jul's Gems

It has been an extremely busy couple of weeks. This past Saturday I had the most productive day I’ve had in a while. You know those days, where you can’t believe how much you get done and you feel so accomplished hours later? I got tons of work done, cleaned our apartment (it was a disaster of sorts), and before I knew it, it was time for a delicious Mexican dinner with friends. Sunday my boyfriend and I spent the day at the Bayou City Art Festival (which was fabulous minus the rain); I could have spent hours and hours there looking at all of the fantastic artwork and jewelry, then we went to have a yummy pizza lunch, and visited his family. I finally feel like I can breathe a bit before things get crazy again. Here’s a glimpse at some moments as of late.

a home cooked stir fry meal I made last week

artwork at a hotel we stayed at recently that I would love for our apartment

a Stone Textile pillow sent to me as a gift, and I’m loving it as a floor pillow in my desk nook right now

part of my operation cleanup: moving my summer sandals to the back of my closet and my ballet flats forward (I like to think it won’t be sandal weather here again until next year…)

and the most special moment…

the birth of the most beautiful baby girl, Lexi (my boyfriend’s niece)
