I was here. Rocky Mountain “wilderness”. I needed a time-out. I needed life to pause. I needed to meet God again. I needed peace. I needed quiet. I needed to breathe.
And I sat.
And I didn’t move.
And I did breathe.
More updates & pics to come.

Well, since my last post I:
(1) Had a birthday. Happy 29th. I chose to celebrate the occasion by ignoring it. All of a sudden I realize that I’m in my late 20s. And that, my friends, freaks me out more than turning 30. Not having anymore 20s to experience. I don’t feel 29. Because at 29 I figure I’d be….well…grown up. Some people consider me more grown up than I consider myself. I own businesses. I rent. I don’t have a car payment. I still feel like a kid.
(2) Gained 3 lbs and lost 7 lbs in as many days. I have no idea what the heck that’s about. But I am happy to report that I am now a happy 6 lbs from my initial goal of losing 50 lbs. Did I mention that my reward for 50 lbs will be a new pair of Louboutin’s? Um, yes. I’m going to attribute the 3 lbs I gained to update #3:
(3) Baked a heck of a lot of cupcakes and other sugar-filled treats. And…I ate buttercream for dinner at least 3 times. The little guys you are viewing? Vanilla Bean Cupcakes w/ Dulce de Leche Buttercream. I want you to understand that I cried when I tasted that buttercream. I did. I was attending another football viewing shindig, so I made these puppies to take. Topped a few of them with toffee bits and there you go. Happiness in a paper cup.(4) Had a minor major meltdown anxiety attack. Yeah, your girl had to take a mental health day from work because people are nuts and I needed a minute to be with my thoughts. This is new for me. Most of my friends will tell you I don’t generally externally reveal any internal stress. For the past few months, however, this has not been the case. I’ve got some time off coming soon and heading on a little trip. Haven’t decided yet on Colorado or Kenya. I plan to leave in 6 days. I am definitely not above booking a flight to Kenya on Thursday and leaving on Friday. Stay tuned. {And pray}.
Kristin, I’d love to send you some of these…but I don’t think I can get them on that darn cruise ship. In Greece. Jealous!
