Dogs Off Their Leashes

On Saturday I had the opportunity to hang out with some girlfriends and drive down to the coast. I loved how Nancy put it "We're dogs off our leash today!" and we did whatever we wanted for the afternoon. Mostly shopping, but it was exactly what my little heart needed that I didn't know I needed. Since I'm home more it's really hard for me to leave and want to make memories. It's difficult to wrap my head around the fact my house doesn't have to be perfect in order for me to leave, nor does it need to be perfect when I'm home! I can't quite put into words my thought process...maybe it's the fact I don't like leaving Madelyn, who knows!

Regardless, I'm so glad I let myself go and make some memories with friends and attend the Stake Youth Talent Show with my other girlfriends. Our girls did a mock up of a Backstreet Boys song "I Want it that Way" and I was so proud they got up there and did it with some attitude. I know they were nervous and later found out they said a little prayer together before they got on stage!

Found the perfect solution for those awesome doors I always see at the antique stores. This would be perfect for our home even with the fact we don't live next to the beach/coast.

Learned that Seagulls smash shells on rocks in order to get their food. My something new for the day. (can we say "duh"?)
