A Fantastic Weekend - Now Back to Real Life

I just spent the most amazing weekend at a friend's bachelorette party. So amazing, in fact, that it's hard to get back into the groove of real life.

I love taking time, especially like that, with a group of great friends, wonderful, strong, interesting women especially. We spent a ton of time talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and also exercising! On Saturday we took a 7 mile (steep!) hike, and both mornings consisted of various people going running, doing yoga, and strength training exercises.

I won't lie, Monday and yesterday I was still amazingly sore (you know, when it hurts to cough?), but it was kind of nice. To have a physical reminder of time so well spent.

And I had such a great weekend that I only took these two pictures! Fortunately other people documented the craziness with iPhones and pocket cameras, but I was happy to just enjoy and absorb it all.

Fittingly, these flowers are forget-me-nots. But I'm not worried, I won't.

Ranunculus

One of my favorite flowers.

Delicious

Rawr!!

Now if I just concentrate hard enough, I can definitely get this red bird on a stick . . . .

Strawberries!

It must be spring when the strawberries return to the farmers' market.

I just love this photo!

I was going through some old photos and I stumbled upon this photo from Morgan and Daina's beautiful wedding last August. I took it at the end of the night, during their last dance.

It might be a little soft, a little grainy, but I just love it. Because that's love, right there.
