Last Friday was Belton’s 1st Father Daughter Dance…. so my hubs teamed up with his twin bro and my bro, and took all 3 of their favorite gorgeous gals for a night out on the town. They did the works too… pretty dresses, getting hair all fixed up, dance date, and then of course… in true Belton style… ended up at the Rodeo after, LOL! The girls had such a blast… and I think all the Daddies did too! Great memories for them all!!! 🙂
So here we are 1.5 months into a new year… and while I should feel refreshed from my slow(er) season… instead I have felt stressed and tired from a broke down computer, car, A/C, lens and a nasty cold. But yet I’m still grateful for so many wonderful things in my life too… a fabulous husband, a sweet kind-hearted daughter, great friends and family, and a blossoming job that I adore… AND… especially my 2 “co-workers” Kerri & Becky! I couldn’t have asked for better friends when we met 2 years ago at a photography workshop. We have become each others cheerleaders, idea-mappers, therapists, travel companions and best of all friends!
Over the past month Kerri had started reading The Happiness Project and encouraged us to read it as well. Well… I’m not a reader! AT ALL!!! I just don’t have the patience for it and my mind is usually going in so many directions that I catch myself re-reading the same paragraph over and over. Luckily, she kept talking about how great it was and encouraging me to read it, so I broke down and bought it… looked at it just sitting there… then bought it on Audible so I could just listen to it while doing something else.
This book is definitely a must-read for all women that have hit their 30’s+. I won’t spoil what it’s about, but it’s one to dive into for sure!
