Photoset reblogged from Stories of a 20 Something
My sister is is studying and frolicking around Europe for the next two months and I had to share her first stop in Ireland- Dingle! So adorable! I hope she’s having a blast and taking as many pictures as I would be :)
You can follow her at storiesofa20something !!!
First day in Dingle! Had a group spaghetti dinner and classes start tomorrow!
Wifi is pretty spotty here, so I’ll be in contact when I can!

There was a wonderful celebration this weekend. Kara and Ross tied the knot and it was amazing. From the gorgeous bride, beautiful church, stunning reception and the party that lasted all night- I hope it was everything they had ever dreamed of because I couldn’t have dreamt of it better myself. Congrats to two of my faves!

Sporty Spice: #summerof29
The past two weeks have been eye-opening to me in the world of team sports. KMH generously offered for me to join her agency’s softball team (not knowing I’d never played a sport with a ball or on a team) and with me always open to trying new things, I agreed. First team sport ever.The first week it was rainy, muddy, terrifying. I hit the ball but didn’t make it on base. I got muddy and looked gross. Last night was a lot better, sunny yet cold and I felt more comfortable with my glove (wearing it on the left hand- who knew?!). I think I’m good at throwing but apparently you have to play catcher until your catching skills are up to par to be out in the field :(
And then, I hit the ball AND got to first base. Then someone else hit and I got to SECOND (left, me yelling at Kelcy to get a picture). And then the streak ended before I got to third, but let me tell you, being “second base girl” all night was just fine with me. There’s a first time for everything ;)
Next week I’ve decided that I’m going to learn some hand motions to really confuse the other team and possibly do the “bend and snap” to distract the ump. It’s going to be epic. So fun!

Quote reblogged from the greens and yellowsDogs are the best, especially when you’ve had a really bad day. You could make the biggest mistakes all day long at work and the rest of the world could hate you but then you go home and your dog is there waiting like “OH THANK GOD MY HERO IS HOME I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WERE YOU OUT GETTING ALL THE AWARDS FOR BEING THE MOST PERFECT HUMAN BEING TO EVER HAVE EXISTED?Amen. They don’t care how many glasses of wine you’ve had, that you don’t feel like wearing pants and you have cheese for dinner. In fact, they probably applaud all of those things. Or at least Sammy does. He’s the best!

This weekend celebrating KP’s upcoming wedding was exactly what we all needed. Lots of laughter & love!
Tavernita Friday night, followed of course by FF, then Kanela for brunch Saturday and off to New Buffalo, MI where we stayed in the cutest cottage and chilled on the deck with drinks and another wonderful dinner at Brewsters. Loved ever minute of it, sad to go back to work tomorrow.
Thankful there will be no travel for me this week, looking forward to more celebrations next weekend!
