my list for the day

  1. Blythe. Laughter and a smile can often communicate more than words. Funny, my business coach often points out that most of the messages we send to others in communicating is actually given in emotion and body language. Ok back to list.
  2. The re-enchantment of every day life (thomas moore)
  3. New car smell in an Suv body
  4. my sisters
  5. ABC's the bachelorette season finale and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Ice Cream Flavor of the Week

Already this year, Austin has seen a few days of summer heat over 100 degrees. This equals Ice cream season. We have 4 different flavors in the freezer right now....and I just can't seem to try anything other than the Blue Bell Key Lime Pie.


From Bluebell.com: Key Lime Pie Contains sweet and tangy key lime ice cream blended with crunchy graham cracker crust and a creamy whipped topping swirl.

yummy heaven

our lives are made of these small moments

our day was perfect.
every last minute of it.
vows from the heart,
spoken with faith in today, and in what lies ahead
heard by the world.
heavenly weather
a circle of friends and family
and each other.

our lives are made of these small moments.....

Easy on the Eyes, Hell on the Thighs was TRUE this year





We did it! I finished all 50 miles of the 2008 Hill Country Ride for Aids on Saturday. This year it wasn't as easy as I remembered it....but, still just as moving and meaningful.

I had a few Keller Williams folks join me this year, and next year am hoping for more.

One of my favorite parts this year was the 2.5 mile ride of silence......
a time of reflection while riding to remember those with HIV or AIDS, to remember our supporters and those whom we ride to support.

Thank you all for supporting me in the ride this year!
XO
Allison
