Too Many Things

It's been a really long time since I've posted anything on my blog. Now I'm stuck rummaging through all the things that I could blog about and I can't settle on one thing. The only conclusion I can come up with is to highlight some of my favorite parts of the summer.

1. The arrival of my kitchen aid mixer. This was a day that couldn't come soon enough. After much lusting, I found this power tool of the kitchen at a decent price on ebay. Which leads to my next highlight.

2. My discovery of ebay. My first purchase was my red, stand up, kitchen aid mixer. This led to several other fantastic purchases: guacho pants, shoes, tea set, etc. This bidding while you shop thing is a very smart idea. Mr. ebay inventor, you're a genius.

3. My trip to Maryland. My realization of the aging process that is taking place in my life was confirmed on this trip. We did a lot of sitting on the front porch, rocking, talking about the weather and drinking coffee and loving every minute of it (hence the confirmation that I'm getting old). I really enjoy my grandparents. They are two of the people I look up to most in my life and any time spent with them is a highlight.

4. The arrival of Kate Oliva Theriot. New life is always amazing to me and to watch (not really watching) one of my best friends bring her first child into the world was fabulous.

5. My trip to Nicaragua. Words can't really express what I feel about this trip, so I'm not going to try just know that it was life changing (cheesey I know, but it's true).

Those were my highlights of the summer. Random, but still highlights. Maybe I won't wait so long to blog next time.
