July 2013 - in Instagram Photos

July wasn't my favorite month this year. It was a hard month for my family.
It started out incredibly with nights at the beach with friends, and the most amazing 2 days I've had in ages over the 4th of July weekend. 
And then, on July 9th, my grandpa was rushed to the hospital and admitted into the ICU. The next 10 days were spent grieving, coping, adjusting, and saying goodbye. His funeral was on Friday, July 19th, just 10 days after he was rushed into the hospital. 
In the days since, I've been getting back to work, hugging my puppy tightly, and trying to soak up the last few bits of summer that we have left.
Through out all, God continues to give us incredible sunsets to remind us that He is always here and life is still good, no matter what bad things happen.
I launched my Love Nourished and Date Night in a Bag projects on the last day of July too. After many months of prepping and planning, I decided that there was no time like the present for launch. Now it's thrown out into the universe, and we'll see what happens from here.
