well hello my dear friends! i am back at last and it just makes me so happy to be able to read about how all of your summers have been going thus far! i am realizing how spread out we all are- so crazy! so here is a quick update of the past few weeks...things that have happened, things that are about to happen as well as a few things that just make my heart happy!

. the peonies were in full bloom for my arrival home- total bliss

. the comfort of home has taken hold of me again and i am relishing in the fact that i get to hang out with the fam for the entire summer this year

. la vida was splendid- lots and lots of rain but such a great trip. the highlight for me was having a baby deer come up to me on my solo!

. monday night two of my dear friends from new zealand made a stop in madison as they continue to drive across not only the states but also canada! talk about one crazy road trip!

. on friday my family leaves for colorado to go to the same family camp that we have been going to since my mom was in middle school!

. yesterday it was 101 degrees and lots of humidity! lets just say that my hair is having a hay day...its totally out of control!

so there's my quick update. i have not dragged out my camera yet but hopefully i will have some happy summer photos to share and more news to tell.

missing you all my bosom buds

xoxo c
