Smithing!! (or- my best got married)



while riding in the front row of a private jet down to Cabo San Lucas,
my new best friends (jess & julie) and i were struck by the fact,
that for being wandering, painfully broke, 20-somethings- our life is ridiculously rich.
huzzah!!

my dearest sarah moved to africa,
met a boy,
fell in love,
and is about to live happily ever after.
(her and Blake's story is far more elaborate and deeply inspiring that that, 
but, i used that up for my toast).
also, a few of us upgraded the phrase 'winning' to 'smithing'-
because if you're a smith, you're winning at life ;) 

here are some pics from the fabulous destination week! 
(and my bookend journeys along the way)



this is my lil dress i made.
the flight to dublin. (this is the beautiful irish seaside).

due to weather, i was delayed in dublin, aka- bussed to a 5star hotel for free and fed awesome food.

  1. Excellent! Everything there looks sprightly and fresh, as if they're going to leap right out of the computer screen. That's really cool and great. The private jet plane ride should have only helped matters, giving it all a patina of class and literal elevation. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure! All the best!
