-road trip with mom
-houston, kemah, shopping, and amazing food with the guenthers
-great conversations with sweet friends
-reading my brother's blog while he's away in guatemala
-hearing dad talk about his mission trip and his new BFFs
-escaping the heat and getting to visit with daniel and explore denver
-shopping and getting pedicures
-time to work on crafts and redo my living room
