Happy Birthday, Mama!
The Bye Bye Beyoncé (Texas Queen) Party was a smashing success. When I sat down to write this post a week later, I thought I’d be able to find the words to describe the joy and love I felt, but I truly can’t. I was overwhelmed with love, affection, and happiness. 
From volleyball to patio partying to beyonce outfits (bee suit + tiara? hilarious) to roof sittin’ and fire pittin’, the party couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a sensational sayonara to five wonderful years of life in newport beach. What a deep and wonderful gratitude I have for my framily.
Austin… not sure it’s treating me too kindly yet—think immediate bug bites, a mysterious ailment causing my right eyelid to swell (??), 104-degree temps, a “professional” brush off—but that is of course mediated by family time on family time, which is, after all, why I moved home. + climbing at abp / dinner at picnik / workout at hyde park gym
