IT’S AUGUST. Meaning it’s almost autumn. MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR.
My summer ends this week, because when I return from India, it will almost be September! So, I figured I’d do my annual “monster end of summer post” now.
I spent a lot of time in the water. Like, more than any other summer.
tubing with maddy in welch, minnesota
camping with lauren in willow river state park, wisconsin
cliff jumping with a group of friends in st. cloud, minnesota
pool party with some old girlfriends
paddle boarding with callie and andrew in eagan, minnesota

visiting the cherry spoon on the grand opening weekend
At the beginning of the summer, I got to see the Minimalists speak, which was incredible! I loved seeing two of the men who changed my life in person. They recorded a live podcast in Minneapolis at the Cedar Cultural Center. They also hosted a third guest, a practicing minimalist who lives in Minneapolis.
Pride weekend was a BLAST! I went with some friends and ate good food and took lots of photos.
