Well, July is over and although I’m sad to see yet another month pass by far too quickly, I’m pumped for what August has in store! I think it’s safe to say that this month has been THE busiest of my life. Ever. Every single day in my iCal had one of those little dots signifying that I had something to do or somewhere to be that day. Busy, busy! But also happy, happy. I’m learning that the two come hand in hand for me. :) Yes, there are days that I just need a clear grid space on the calendar to lay around and perfect the art of doing absolutely nothing, but I also yearn for busy. Both are equally important and when you can get the portions of each, busyness and leisure, jusssst right, it’s the perfecta of life.

So from a trip to the beach in the first week of July…

Which included fourth of July celebration…

And lots of patriotic pride…

To my attempt at being Martha Stewart for the day…

And to early birthday gifts that I’m obsessed with…
Not to mention being in Costa Rica for nine days! It’s been quite the month! I’m excited for it to be August (AKA, BIRTHDAY MONTH!) and to enjoy the awesome things that are in store.
