Home away from home

I bought this bracelet at one of my favorite little local stores in my home away from home, Steamboat Springs, CO. We were there for the Christmas break with my family and now I'm back home in Charlotte, NC. I'm so happy to have been able to wear this bracelet back with me and look forward to passing it on to someone soon and seeing where it ends up!

On our 10th annual “playgroup” girls weekend I received this amazing gift. I love each and everyone of those girls & cherish their friendships so very much. Every year, we do a white elephant gift exchange of something we can’t live without. I was lucky enough to receive my sweet friend Bailee’s gift...this bracelet (along with a couple other fabulous items.) honestly, I can’t imagine a better gift from a sweeter friend. I will wear this bracelet knowing the love and energy that it has and will continue to carry on for others.

My best friend in the entire world and the funniest, most patient and positive person I know, Bibi, gave the bracelet to me in Charleston, SC while we were on a girls trip celebrating our birthdays.  And a few months later she flew out to Arizona to celebrate my birthday again.  This picture was from Tonto Natural Bridge.  I've probably had the bracelet longer than I should have. But now it's time for me to pass it on to one of the kindest and down to earth persons I've met in Arizona, my sister wife, Julie!  Looking forward to it going on more adventures as she moves back to Hawaii.
