It's late in the evening, and I'm still smiling as I think of the day we just had. It wasn't anything huge, but it was everything to have had it, anyway. I hope that on a dark day somewhere down the road, you'll look back at today, in all its simple perfection, and remember how much love you felt today.
Love,
Your Present Self.

My mom's birthday was last Sunday, but since we can't be in six places at once, I wished her happy birthday over the phone. We decided mid-week that the weather would be just fine for us to meet up for lunch in Easton, which is just barely an hour drive for them.
Oh, and in case you haven't been in Columbus in the past 15 years, the answer is yes, we are STILL under construction.
I'd forgotten how ridiculous parking at Easton is on a Saturday, but we finally made it to the restaurant to meet up with Mom.
 |
| could she be any more adorable?! |
 |
| happy birthday, mom! |
Since we were at Brio, Sydni got to have some fun of her own:
And entertainment:
^ I can't handle this girl ;)
Anyway, more fun from mom's birthday lunch and trek around Easton:
 |
| 3 generations ;) |
 |
| gosh, these two... |
 |
| hahahaha |
 |
| dad! |
 |
| i may be partial, but i'm sure my mom is the cutest! |
 |
| so. much. love. |
After lunch and a quick stroll around Easton, Sydni and I headed another 15 minutes north to stop in and say hi to Maricor..
 |
| cousin time! |
We're back home now, and with another good Whole30 dinner under my belt, I think this was a pretty good way to wind down the day. A friend of mine just got tattoo #1 tonight, so now I'll be on Pinterest for the next definitely-unhealthy-length-of-time digging around mandala elbow pieces.. because I'm the type of addict who can't bear hearing about it without also going to get one.. haha.
All ideas welcomed. For now, as Iliza puts it, "PINPINPINPINPINPIN"
Happy Saturday, blogbots.
