life currently (in iphone photos)

Life lately has been lovely and flying by. We've had friends visiting (and their pups...see below), I've been visiting friends, bowling (I joined a league!!!), shopping, pool days, spa day with some lovely ladies and just trying to enjoy the rest of my summer (1 more week!!! ekkkkk).
 I'm really happy I joined a bowling league. I've wanted to for some time and last Tuesday was my first game. It was the day before my dad's (would be) birthday and it felt like a great way to honor him. He was an avid bowler. He even had his own ball, ball bag and shoes!
Apparently we all have nicknames too. I'm "K-new" and I guess also "lemon poppy seed". Don't ask me to explain the last one....I still don't get it....

 For the past several days I got to visit my good friend, Ashley and her hubby. We met in college on a study abroad trip and I am so happy we still are so close. I'm just so glad she's only a few hours away and not any further!


 And then there was the most amazing spa day ever.  We had massages, saunaed it up, went in the hot tub and the pool, had lunch by the pool and drank our fill of citrus water. 
Since this is not something I am able to do very often (or like ever) I am really appreciative that I got to enjoy this. And for the good company!

Well ladies and gents, now it's time for me to sign off and spend some quality time with my handsome boyfriend.

the day i turned 25










My 25th started with pancakes (the acceptable cake for breakfast) and time with my mom and step-dad. And then we spent the afternoon at the pool drinking and eating yummy cake and cookies (all made by my wonderful friends).  Yes, we even went to a mexican restaurant too.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday or celebrated with me or sent me a card. It meant sooo very much to me and I appreciate it more than you know!

thank God for girl friends

"I get by with a little help from my friends."
( A great song that captures exactly how I feel.)

I love my girl friends. And I seriously do thank God for them oh so often. Whether they are emailing/pen-pal/ or face to face friends, I cherish our relationships.

There are just some things that only girl friends can do. And sometimes it take another girl, a girl who knows you (and loves you anyway) to get you. To talk to. To play along with your silliness... like oh I don't know, say watching the Gossip Girl royal wedding episode, while dressing up and drinking some champagne.....

Even my mom is such a good girl friend.
And I love these women for who they are and who they are to me.

They help me to figure out what's important and what is just silly and needs to be thrown away.

Heck, even in Sex and the City the gals were known for their quotes like Maybe our girlfriends are our soul mates and guys are just people to have fun with.
And
She is my friend. She's my family. My insides. She will be fine because she has to be fine. That's how important she is to me.

So thank you gals, both in photos above and those that are pictured. Because without you, I wouldn't be as sane (nor happy) as I am.

so much love,
kellie
