Catching Up

Music: Viva la Vida - Coldplay

Well, hello there! It's been a bit since I've posted, but I was on vacation last week. I decided that spending time with my family in the real world was more important than posting a new entry. Sorry! Also, I apologize that this is not going to be one of my normal "Thankful Thursdays" posts. Sorry again. If the word "family" caught your attention, yes, my parents, brothers, and I went on our first family vacation in I don't know how many years. Besides a few moments were no one wanted to make a decision (one of the brothers coined the phrase "passive perfectionists" to describe all us), it was awesome. Four days on the Oregon coast = perfection. Plus, it was really fun going on a trip together where everyone is an adult (well, in age, but not behavior). I saw light houses, beaches of all shapes and varieties, seals, enough sea gulls to last a lifetime, ate waaaaaay too much (trying to get back on the healthy eating bandwagon again has pretty much been a lost cause this week), visited Voodoo doughnuts and the Goonies house (!!!!!!!!!! I was in movie nerd heaven), read Anne of Green Gables for the 100th time, and just generally laughed at my families antics.

Since our return back to reality, I've been trying to catch up with everything. Honestly, it's kind of hard. Work...what??!! Bills don't take a vacation...ppssshhttt, how rude! Going to bed at a decent hour....okay, well that's not too hard for me. Anywho, that's why I'm not posting a full post today. Hopefully, next week I'll be back to normal (well, normal for me. I'm not most people's definition of normal.). I'll leave you with a few photos to give you a taste of our trip.





(Oh heeeey, just hanging at Voodoo Doughnuts, y'all.)

(Stupid birds followed us everywhere...you would think we're by the ocean or something.)


(Breathtaking...)
