The weather has cooled off.
Fall is just around the corner. Just like that, another summer… gone. Next week I’ll be frantically packing for Denmark – planning out every outfit. I’m a dork like that. And yes, I am SUCH a girl. Hate traveling without bringing all of the necessities, but I’m also a light packer. SO it’s quite the adventure – me packing, or watching me packing.
Thankfully there won’t be anyone watching (it’s embarassing). I try on the outfits, match the shoes with the different skirts and jeans. Then the scarves and even the jewelry. Every piece has to be included because if I’m there and I don’t feel right – I’m annoyed and then I go buy something. Must prevent future Alaina from feeling the need to buy something in order to jazz up her outfit. I’ll have to find a way to fit my cowboy boots in – usually wear them in the airport to solve that problem.
All will be well.
Nope. Not freaking out yet.
Benjamin and I had THE most amazing weekend. I think it’s the cool autumn air blowing through my hot and sticky midwest city… but I was completely calm all weekend. My mind silent for 48 hours straight. Unbelievable.
Benjamin and I chased down hot air balloons, but the wind had them all deflated (they blew this one up for the crowd).
Benjamin was the first of the children to touch it and while the rest backed away because of the heat, Benjamin got closer (no pain/ no fear).
The night before I went to a Black Crowes concert. [click to continue…]
