Dear Beautiful Friends,
This world has been a dark and terrifying place in the past few months. I am still grappling with all of it. I'm having a very hard time wrapping my head around these deaths. Around the deaths of my LGBT brothers and sisters. Around the deaths of my black brothers and sisters - and around the fear and injustice and hate they face on a regular basis. And just today another moment of heinousness in Nice, France. It all seems like so much. Too much. The despair and sadness makes me feel like I can't breathe. I hope that one of these days I will have some eloquent words and my hope back. But right now I can't figure out either of those. So instead I'm going to babble on about my summer bucket list - one small thing I have control over. But please know, that I too am hurting and hoping and trying. #blacklivesmatter
Love,
Sarah
Well Summer is rapidly going by so I guess I better see how we're doing on said bucket list so here goes. A few weeks ago grandma and grandpa came to visit and we went to feed some farm animals and hung out and played.
Then we headed down south to attend a beautiful friends wedding.

And then we stayed for a whole week to enjoy the sun and the sand and the burritos and to hang out with grandma and grandpa again and enjoy a night away for wifey and I!
