vacation...

click HERE to see a post of my trip this past week:

what a vacation i just had!!! it wasn't your average vacation, but it was a blast. i actually chose to go to phoenix during the hottest months of the year, and i actually enjoyed doing work while i was on vacation. it was a really great trip... really, really great trip.

some things i learned on my trip:

1. cauliflower is actually REALLY good on salads
2. i need to find some really good garlic-y dressing for salads
3. spinach turns smoothies green, but they can actually taste really yummy :)
4. mexican train and nertz (?) are 2 really fun games, that are a lot more fun in good company
5. trader joe's makes some unbelievable cookies
6. almonds are the "good kind of fat," so it's totally okay to eat an entire bag of almond m&m's each day
7. massages are going to be required each day in heaven

and finally, i learned that melissa jill is one of the neatest people EVER. she is such a fun, talented, kind individual, and my time with her was fantastic. my goal in the next year is to go second shoot a wedding with her, if she'll actually have me... and, maybe even move out there soon. that's a big question with a lot of thought separating me and that extra bedroom in her house. we'll see how it goes!

melissa, if you're reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you. tonight i am in atlanta, and it isn't as much fun as phoenix. i really miss dixie, too. oh, i definitely miss dixie!!!

the top of the post has a photo of dixie. (now you know why i miss her!)
