Fridays and August.

 Photos from weekly Friday gatherings in our humble abode..

1. Lately life has decided to throw me many unexpected obstacles and hurdles to climb over, and it can be so easy to get side tracked and discouraged - especially if you are a person (like me) who likes to plan and schedule out the days/ months/ even years! These are more lessons and opportunities to master the art of letting go, which is sometimes not one of my strengths.

2. Getting married was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made. It definitely takes work and dedication but the rewards are so incredibly sweet.

3. I start school in a few days and am a ball of excitement and nervousness. A new journey is about to begin!

Lately grammies- July/ August

Lately...

( My handsome husband cleaning up after dinner during our honeymoon. I am such a lucky gal!)

 (M and I discovered the cutest famers market filled with a large variety of goodies that were also reasonably priced! The zuchinni was SO good in a veggie soup M made and the nectarines were so sweet and the perfect texture. It is probably a little ridiculous how happy farmers market fruit and veggies can make me:) )

 ( The day after our wedding with our little baby girl ;) )

(Delicious vegan lunch on Taco Tuesday from the UMD Co-op, AKA my new fav place!)

(Friday night Ruhi! Nothing better than great conversation, with beautiful souls and tea!)

(Woke up and found her like this one morning. She truly knows the way to my heart!)

Lately grammies- July.

I cannot believe it is August already! This summer has truly been one of the best and so much fun! Yesterday was M and I's 1 month anniversary which was spent working all day and then attending the nineteen day Baha'i feast. Lately I have been missing the Holy land so much that it feels like my heart is actually physically hurting. During prayers at feast last night I closed my eyes and took myself right back to some of the most special and incredibly beautiful favorite spots in Akko, Haifa and Bahji' and it felt so incredibly sweet. What an amazing blessing! I have also been deeply missing my amazing soul sisters and brothers that I met there and am feeling so much gratitude for all the amazing gifts that were given to me during that amazing year. Cherish every single moment of life you are given! 

On another note, 2 small personal goals that I am setting for myself for the month of August includes waking up earlier > so that I can be more productive and efficient with my time & taking more photos with my real camera > because taking photos is something I truly enjoy and I love having those little memories to look back on!

(Out with my lovesie!)

 (LOVE going to a cookout with lots of fresh, healthy and delicious vegetarian options!)

 (The most delicious new discovery. Honey made from apple concentrate and beet sugar. Serious Noms and perfect for tea, waffles, desserts...)

(Zipline during our Honeymoon. SO MUCH FUN!)
