I feel like this summer is going to be gone in the blink of an eye! Let’s see: over the past few days I’ve gone to a couple of meetings, got into my first car accident (not my fault though!), went on a retreat with BJ for marriage prep (more on that later), quietly celebrated my 25th birthday, sewed lots of flowers and birds, and drove all around Houston running errands. I really wish I were super-organized and had a few extra pair of hands.
* The accident couldn’t have come at a worse time—right on the day of our retreat + with all these wedding plans going on. Plus, B and I are sharing a car. But on the bright side, this rental drives over pot holes so much better than mine. My car is basically too costly to fix, and I need to find a replacement quickly before I turn over the rental. Oi.
Thankfully, B was close by and called the cops for me. If anyone ever offered a Getting Through the Small Things in Life course, I would be the first to sign up. On the syllabus: How to change a tire, How to get info in an accident, How to fix a leaky pipe, How to sign a lease.
Anyways, before I ramble on any more, here are a few pictures I remembered to take:
- Packing for the weekend
- Finished Juju’s flower-girl belt + a few brass bells
- Huge wire basket from Grace Hart & Co
- Gaudy belt from Sand Dollar thrift store around the corner, 45 cents
- Another belt from Sand Dollar. Made in Texas. (Clothing1/2 off on Wed. :)
