Today my siblings Joanna and Jonathan graduated from high school. I still can’t believe how quickly they’ve grown up and the amazing man and woman they’re becoming.

I enjoyed great conversation with some family friends outside while I ate…maybe about 2 hours…? When I came inside, Bret said it looked like I got some sun…I kind of laughed it off…I felt fine….and I wasn’t out there THAT long!

After that, we went to probably the most EPIC party ever! Our friend Tammie has awesome parties! So, there was a bounce house, an ice luge, tons of food (I had FOUR plates!) and beer….as well as THIS awesome beer pong table!

As we were sitting there, I noticed my arms were a little pink….but still didn’t think too much of it…a few more hours go by and I see myself in a mirror….yeaaaaa….as you can see, it’s a little bit worse than I thought!

Day 1404 – You Have To Have Goals And A Way To Measure Them

A few days ago, I was chatting with Bret and my sister about how far I had run since I’ve used RunKeeper and I said I have completed over 2,000 miles! It got me thinking how cool it is that I have so much history tracked. As I was preparing for this blog, I took a screen shot of my success…I was a little off on the miles….

Soooo, I’ve run 186 miles and burned over 20,000 calories….oops! But still, it’s really great to see that success! Baltimore is 186 miles away from NYC. AWESOME to think I’ve run that far! Now, this covers about 2 years of running…but still! It was really encouraging to me to see what I’ve done in the past. I encourage you to find a tracker for whatever your goal is! There are tons of apps out there!

Over the weekend, I got to hang out with my dear friend Shawna of Shawna Sherrell Photography. I rented a new flash and wanted someone to test it out with me! Let me just say….I LOVE Off Camera Flash! I can’t wait to buy the gear I need to offer this to my clients!

I got some super fun shots of her daughter…

Day 1402 – Awesome Mead And Cider In My Backyard – Millstone Cellars – Monkton, Maryland

Today, my brother Josh and I finally stopped by Millstone Cellars.

When we first arrived, the parking lot and tasting room were pretty packed! But we didn’t have to wait long to get a guided tour of the mill. It was fascinating to hear the story behind the mill, how mills operated, how they process their mead and cider, everything!

We sat down and tried several of their current bottles. Oh. My. Gosh. SO good! Josh and I each bought a bottle of the Gingeroot cider. We also loved the Hopbrosia mead. It actually has hops in there too! Yum!

So if you’re in the area, check them out! If you can’t stop by, find them in a store near you….wow, I sound like a commercial! But seriously, so good!

So here is some honeycomb outside. Fresh honey. Dude.
