July was a blur! Here are some of the things I remember.
Highs
- Dallas! I made two trips to Dallas this month. The best part was really just spending time with Cob. We tried a bunch of new restaurants, swam every day, and spent a lot of time talking about our upcoming goals and dreams and projects.
- Photoshoot with Traivs J! My BFF Sarah Rodriguez and I are starting a little business, and we had a brand photoshoot with Travis J at his studio. It was a ton of work to put everything together, but I love the way it turned out and I can't wait to show everyone what we're doing!
- Peter got a tooth! He has a little tooth poking out from his bottom gum and it is the most adorable thing ever. He looks like a little monster and I love it.
- Swimming, swimming, swimming!
- I bought a few really expensive things that I don't regret at all: AMAZING Steve Madden wedges (sold out, otherwise I would link them here), an incredible haircut at a swanky salon in Dallas, and a new backpack/diaper bag that's a little more chic but still functional. One of my goals for August is to stop going to Target, because I am throwing away all my money! Those purchases were worth it, though.
Lows
- Being separated from Cob has been really rough. I have a hard time when I'm in Provo because I'm taking care of Peter by myself. But when I'm in Texas, I feel really isolated and lonely, and that's hard, too.
- My skin has been terrible. I hate hate hate acne so much! I'm 25, why do I still have to deal with this crap!
- I haven't been very good about creating or sticking to my personal religious routines this month. I'm trying to simplify and lower my expectations, so I don't get frustrated so much.
- Postpartum depression has been hanging around lately. Since I stopped breastfeeding in June, I feel like my hormones are still a little crazy (that's probably part of the #acne issue I mentioned above), so I need to deal with that.
July really has been a great month. I feel like 2018 is just flying by, and I want to make sure I'm doing all the things I hoped I would do before it ends. I can't wait to be reunited with Cob in just a few weeks!
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
