Texas: poolside

"cousins day" at my sister's pool


girls day with my oldest girlfriend in the world, Jack
summer nights. swimsuits & beers. the life. 
I head back to New Jersey tomorrow. It feels as though my trip went by incredibly fast, but when I look back on all these pictures (I took somewhere around 800) I realize I did so much in the last 3ish weeks. I saw everyone that my heart misses when I'm away from here. 
Oh, guess what? My cousin Mercedes, that I told y'all about two posts ago, is flying to Jersey with me tomorrow! She's going to spend a little over two weeks with Mikey and I. This will be the first time she's left Texas and I want her to have a memorable, and perhaps eye-opening experience. It's nice to go away for a while, then come back home and recognize -with almost new eyes- all that you appreciate about where you come from, what makes it special. Having "places visited" under your belt is also something of an accomplishment to look back on and cherish forever. I plan on showing her all my favorite New Jersey towns and of course, "The Big Apple." 
I'll be back on a normal posting & reading schedule this week. Have a lovely Tuesday, friends!

    If you would have asked me to draw up a bathing suit design for you THIS would have been it! It's so YOU! I love the red and the polka dots! So cute and the vintage vibe suits you to a tee. So happy that you had a nice time with family (so important) and now your adventure is not over...
    Have a good flight home!

      I hadn't been on my laptop in over a month and definitely wasn't even checking my emails from my phone, unless someone texted me to check it for what they sent. I'm so sorry!
      I'll def get back to you. :)

    Glad you enjoyed your mini vacay -- you look just like a 1950's/60's chicklet in your cute bathing suit. There's nothing like going home!

    You are so stinking precious. I love this bathing suit on you! And man oh man is that pool amazing?!? So glad you've had a good visit and break so far. It'll be so much fun to show your cousin around! New Jersey and New York are quite the places to see when you haven't been around much! She'll have a blast I'm sure : )
