Personal things

I thought I’d share some personal things happening even though it’s happening very fast around here. Maybe one day between posts isn’t enough for me with where I am in life but I’m going to still try! I think with a little planning I can do it :) I just forgot to finish uploading these images and share what’s been going on.

The brick arrived from The Home Depot and it was very exciting.

I have been enjoying spying on the backyard work through the new tinted windows. More on the tinted window situation soon.

I attended the Women Make the Difference event this year and invited my friends to my table. The event benefits 3 programs that help with programs that assist sex-trafficking victims locally in Phoenix and international. Phoenix Dream Center, Streetlight USA and Rapha International.

I am so proud of the friends and businesses who donated to the event for the silent raffle. Thank you for doing that so much – I was told $5,000 was raised for the silent auction raffle ticket items!! Thank you for being so amazing. I hope next year to be able to present the event with even more items to raffle off! Please join me next year by buying a seat, a table, or donating an item or service. There are so many ways to help.

My pageant director Lily came by, she has known me since I was 20 I think…maybe even younger. I really enjoyed our time together.

I bought some garbage cans for outdoors. Who knew that it would look so good! I had a lot of clicks when I shared it on my IG stories, here are some other options –

We, or I, am looking at new patio furniture, or rather more patio furniture. These pics are from On The Veranda. I don’t think if we order that they will come in time for my party unfortunately. But I still want them – this might have to be ordered later since we have so much going on right now.

I feel like I’m juggling a bit, the book launch, the backyard project and my birthday party which all is finishing up around the same time. It’s a lot but I know it will get done!
