Summer lovin': Skylight

So pretty.

This picture just makes me happy.

Summer Lovin': An evening stroll with MM

I had no idea that I could walk to the beach from my house - it's just 20 minutes! Michelle kidnapped me Saturday evening and I just followed her. Sometime it's more fun when you don't really know where you're headed, right? Before I knew it we were walking over the train tracks and could practically feel the breeze coming off the Puget Sound. She took me to Ray's Boathouse Cafe to sit on the deck and have a glass of wine - every day this week has been a celebration! We watched the sun go down under the fast approaching marine layer and the paddle boarders make their way back to dock. Those brave souls - when I look at the sound all I can think about is the giant octopi looming in the depths, waiting for someone to fall in! As it got colder we curled up with blankets and sipped coffee. And just as the stars were coming out we started making our way home.

It was the perfect summer evening!

Glamorous Life: Movin' on up!

I just got word! This lady, little ol' me, will start a new life at Wattsmedia at the end of the month! You have no idea how incredibly exciting this is!

Summer Lovin': Torchlight 5K

Kim and I did the Touchlight 5K this last Saturday! We weren't the fastest - but we were definitely among the most fashionably dressed in our safety green race shirts! Highlights include: watching the marching bands warm up(!), doing a group stretch session before the race, standing in line for free stuff, running down 4th avenue with thousands of spectators cheering us on, finishing strong!

I think I'd like this to be an annual event - who wants to join me next year?

The Word: Deuteronomy 33:26-29

26“There is no one like the God of Israel.ⁱ

He rides across the heavens to help you,

across the skies in majestic splendor.

27The eternal God is your refuge,

and his everlasting arms are under you.

He drives out the enemy before you;

he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’

28So Israel will live in safety,

prosperous Jacob in security,

in a land of grain and new wine,

while the heavens drop down dew.

29How blessed you are, O Israel!

Who else is like you, a people saved by the Lord?

He is your protecting shield

and your triumphant sword!

Your enemies will cringe before you,

and you will stomp on their backs!”

Summer lovin': Seabrook with the Blotter Sisters

If you've never heard of this place Google it right now! Seabrook, WA is charming. It's nostalgic. It's the kind of place where you can live simply by the ocean for a few days. I've lost track of time...yeah - I have no real concept of what time it is, and that's fantastic. Don't we all need to unplug every once in awhile?

This is a Morgan Family trip. I'm here with Grandma, Mom, Kathy, Patty, Cami and Mitch. That's 4 generations. 90 years old to 3 years old. A few of my favorite things about this beautiful place?

1. Riding bikes through the neighborhood.
2. Roasting marshmallows in the backyard.
3. Walking to the ocean and jumping over waves.
4.  Margaritas and pizza.
5. Manicures from Cami.
6. Hide and seek with Mitch.

I am SO sunburnt.
