Lovely Little Things {Family Edition}

June 25, 2012

My family came to visit last week. Well, most of them. My brother hung around rainy Washington to work and deal with internship interviews and all the things that fill college summers. But the rest of us?

We hung out in the sun. Ate good food. And laughed a lot.

I love my family.

Here are some snapshots via Phoebe {that’s my iPhone if you’re new around here}.

I apologize in advance for too many pictures of my sister and me.

It happens. Every time.

 
Katie and I unexpectedly got makeovers at the Laura Mercier counter at Nordstrom, 
so we took lots of pictures at Chick-fil-a to celebrate. Obviously.

Off to my cousin’s house for a family get together. Micah hated my outfit.

It was fun to have my dad in town for Father’s Day, since he is usually about five states away. We had to celebrate him in style. For us, style means Instagramming and filet mignon.
My sister is way more trendy than me and makes me do crazy things like paint my nails with coral and mint. Also, Kate has come to visit me seven times since we moved to Arizona two years ago, 
and every single one of those seven visits has included a trip to Chick-fil-a for breakfast. 
Yes, we went to Chick-fil-a twice. No shame.
And this is because I love my sister almost as much as she loves chocolate chip mint ice cream.
The end.

    You and your sister have the prettiest eyes, what a fun family weekend. I keep asking my Husband if he owns stock in Chick-Fil-A because he eats lunch there nearly everyday. I love their waffle fries and CFA sauce. Yum Yum Yum

    Best,

    You and your family are absolutely gorgeous!

    Also your sister has some awesome nails! If I didn't crochet so much for my shop I would totally start painting my nails like that, but they end up chipping the next day if I do.

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
