In a Nutshell

After having a TIA, or mini-stroke,

Nana is recovering amazingly well.

She celebrated her 84th birthday this week,

and got to spend it with both of her kids

(one of whom happens to be my dad).

I am so, so glad

that things have turned out

as well as they have.

***

My little brother has been

in Egypt the past few weeks,

and will be home soon.

I am so incredibly

excited that he has gotten

such a cool opportunity!

***

And speaking of opportunities,

this weekend

Justin and I will be going

to Myrtle Beach

to meet some amazing animals

including some endangered species

and to go on a "safari."

I am super excited

and will definitely share pictures

as soon as we have them!

***

I've been talking more

to my family

via the phone, Facebook,

and any other form

of communication

you can imagine.

They are all so great,

and I am so lucky

to have such an amazing

group of people in my life!

***

In a nutshell:

I am happy.

I am blessed.

I love my life.
