May project: things I’ve learned on my own

May 23, 2013

It’s day 23 of the blog every day in May. Today the prompt is things you’ve learned that school won’t teach you.

(The flowers aren’t related to the post but Walker got me these when I got back on Sunday from Michigan. I should have taken a picture when I got home but this is them 4 days later.)

How to be comfortable with yourself. It’s taken me years to really get a good sense of who I am and I can say I pretty much have it figured out (but of course every once in a while I surprise myself).

That what I studied in school does not define my life or me. I have a bachelor’s in mathematics but I own an online shop and make jewelry for a living.

How hard growing up and making big girl decisions would be.

I’m sure if I sat here long enough I could think of way more because, lets be honest, school does not teach us all that much about life.

On a silly side note: I am heading to Malibu, CA today for a wedding with Walker. He likes to be at the airport at least 2 and a half hours early for DOMESTIC flights so I will be meeting him there an hour or so after he arrives. He is so silly. But also he doesn’t mind just hanging out at the airport and I’d rather be there for as little as possible.

May project: I like this picture

May 17, 2013

It’s day 17 in the blog every day in May challenge. Today I’m sharing my favorite photo of myself and why.

This picture was taken by Walker this past Thanksgiving. Usually I am not a fan of the pictures he takes of me because I have requested it and he usually is not in the mood. So typically the lighting is bad on my face, or an eye is closed or both, or you can see my double chin look. But on this day he was wanting to take pictures and I had not requested any. He got the light just perfect on my face, the best angle of my face, my eyes are both open, I’m smiling just enough. It helped of course that I had done my hair and makeup but he captured me just right that day and I just love it!

Remembering our cinco de mayo fiesta!

I’m finally getting around to sharing some pictures of the Cinco de Mayo party we went to. Our good friends were co hosting it with another couple. The party was a little more interesting due to the fact that the power went out in the building where we were all gathering. So we had to navigate completely dark stairways to get the the apartment. Luckily it was sunny out so our party wasn’t in the dark.

After food and some trivia we headed to the courtyard outside where the pinata was destroyed and where we could enjoy the warmth. Near the end of the party a few of us played pin the tail on the donkey and had a few good laughs. I think Walker was cheating a little bit with his leg us like that. Oh well, it was a good afternoon.
