It's been a month since I went on the trip of a lifetime to California. There were so many "firsts" for me, so many opportunities to be brave and step out of my comfort zone, and I learned several key lessons.

Even in my twenties, I still enjoy a good teen-flick. My friend and I actually ended up watching Hannah Montana at our last girls night :) And classic Disney Channel Originals like High School Musical and Camp Rock are still comfort movies for me. If you're looking for a fun movie for your next movie night with friends, here are my top recommendations!
You know when you ask a kid what they want to be when they grow up, and they say things like "fireman", "ballerina", "superhero", and "princess"? And then they get older and maybe start becoming a little more practical but still dreaming? Sometimes kids have pretty wild dream jobs. Sure, there is someone who does the job of setting up the dollhouses in The Henry Ford Museum (yes, I thought that would be a fun job) but probably only one person and that is not their whole job. Are you tracking with me?
These last two months have been crazy busy. I don't know when life was last like this and it's not something I want to become normal. However, it has shown me things about myself and helped me learn.
I was an adult before I got my first social media account but I'd grown up with friends who had them and hearing all the warnings about how toxic of a place the Internet was and how addicting it could be. So I went in to my Instagram account with VERY strict rules for myself. Six years later, I have learned a lot about regulating social media, making it an enjoyable place, and making it serve me, not the other way around.
Is it ever easy to make friends? Maybe for some, but even for the most outgoing person, I have to think that making friends as an adult is HARD!
I know this is not the normal content that I share on here, but baking and cooking are things that I do a lot and (for the most part) really enjoy, so you may see more posts in the future about this kind of things. Bread baking has certainly been a journey and I'm still learning (sourdough, I'm looking at you), but getting to where I am now motivates me to keep going with the process.
This is probably not going to be one of my most popular posts and that's okay, but for those who are interested, I hope you find it helpful! Relationship changes are one of the hardest parts of life. As we grow and change, people move in and out of our lives and it's hard to know how to handle things. We are not taught how to maintain important relationships once the person is not in our day to day life anymore. But the experience is different for those who leave and those who are left behind.
I have always been the one left behind, so most of what I'm going to offer is for others like me, but if you're the one who is leaving or has left, don't check out. This will give you insight into what your friend is going through AND I do have some advice for you as well. I got to be the photographer for VBS again this year. This is the second time I've done that and it's a unique way to experience the week for sure. You kind of float on the outside of what is going on and you get to see everything but you're not really participating. I don't normally do event photography but it's fun to do something different sometimes because it makes you use different skills and I feel like I am challenged as a photographer.
I'm glad that this project is FINALLY finished!!! It was started back in early 2022 and I intended to finish it that summer but life got away from me and it didn't happen. I was determined that I would get it done this year and it's done!!!
