July 2019 Review

I thought I would do a monthly round up of my favorite things and what I did, kind of my way of tracking my interests and a summation of my month essentially.



This month I...



- Celebrated 4th of July with my family.


- Saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Matt and I talked about this one a lot after we saw it. It doesn't feel like your typical Tarantino movie, it is a lot more leisurely in it's pacing. So if you haven't seen it, go in with expectations geared towards more a pace that builds atmosphere and focuses on a broader range of story.



- Listened to lots of comedy radio on Pandora
My favorites are Jim Gaffigan, John Mulaney, Brian Regan, and Demetri Martin.
- Read Picnic at Hanging Rock

I'm a huge fan of the 1975 film, and summer seemed like the perfect time to delve into the book. The movie turned out to be pretty faithful to the book, which is always a giant check mark in the positive column for me.



 - Sold my first butterfly creation...and it wasn't even on my Etsy! 

A lovely stranger on Instagram saw the pictures and asked about it. It makes me so happy when I find a kindred spirit when it comes to my odd interests.



- Ate lots of late-night shakes (chocolate and oreo all the way!)


-Started working out/eating better (Largely because of the above)
I'm looking forward to August!

October 2019 Review

You guys! This month went by so quick! And since we got snow at the end of the month, it felt more like winter than fall. October, while busy, was a little more sedate, settling into work rhythms and taking some down time. This month I... -Turned 30 I celebrated with a little get together with friends indulging in pizza, apple pie, and games, I believe a pretty good time was had by all. I hope this year will be one of the best yet, I have lots planned and hope I don't let it overwhelm me, it's all about balance and growth.  - Settled into a new church home Matt and I have been visiting a new church for several months now and we both feel like we're very welcomed and are excited to be part of this new community and beginnings of new friendships. - Hit up some amazing estate sales Seriously, it's one of our new favorite pastimes. We went to a sale in Atchison, MO, in a house built in the 1890's. We both fell in love with the house! So much charac...

Yellowstone Trip May 2019 - Part 1

Day 1 & 2 Yellowstone. Probably the most diverse scenery I've seen in the span of 2 weeks. I had planned on going to Yellowstone in 2018 with Samantha, on the way back from California, but ended up coming straight home from San Francisco. So, of course, I started planning for a trip specifically to see Yellowstone. I threw out the suggestion to my family that we should all go, and most of them agreed! Having 9 of us go introduced some difficulties but ultimately we got it all worked out and started planning what all we wanted to see along the way. The first day was just driving, we headed to Sioux Falls, SD. Day 2 was jam packed full of sights! The first stop being the Corn Palace. About half of us had been there before, but it never ceases to a-maize! (See what I did there? Eh? No? Too corny? Ahem...moving on.) Next was a ghost town in Okaton. Abandoned places isn't everybody's thing, I know, but since it was right off the highway, we stopped and...

August 2019 Review

I know it's not quite the end of the month, but the next few days are going to be crazy busy (I'll write about it in a separate post!) so I thought I would go ahead and post this month's review! This month I... -Went to lots of estate sales  I got this beauty and several other bones/oddities at a few different estate sales. This is Jolene (as dubbed by Matt) and now I need to go shopping for more wigs and little hats for her. I'm currently waiting on giant fake eyelashes for her too. - Got to Hang out with these kiddos I got to spend some one-on-one time with some of my nieces and nephews! We watched a movie, went swimming, and played at the park. Good times! -Watched the second season of Mindhunter Not everyone's cuppa tea, but if you have an interest in psychology or true crime, Mindhunter delivers. -Finished up some things for the Oddities and Curiosities Expo I finally got back into drawing...
