Thursday Things 05.21.15

It was my younger brother’s birthday last night (22!) so I took him and his boyfriend out to dinner at Tiny Diner. I had never been there before, but am glad we went to check it out. The food was amazing and the restaurant itself was super fun. I love the decor! My only complaint is that it was just a smidgen to cold to sit outside and enjoy their patio. Perhaps next time.

In the meantime, I won’t be complaining about any of these things:

  • All the burgers: caramelized peach caprese burgers, tex mex chicken burgers, fake shack burgers, and prosciutto wrapped Mediterranean lamb burgers.
  • Cooking artichokes scares me a little so this is helpful.
  • 5 ways to wand waves. I just bought a curling wand and looove it.
  • Some fun, spring cocktails. Let’s make some simple syrup and have a dinner party.
  • Look who made it to #2 on the top 10 healthiest cities in America list!

One more day until the long weekend!!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
