life through my lens

Treated myself to a 4-day getaway spent traipsing around Chicago with my mini-me and it was the best gift I could have given myself 💙

I am still processing a lot of feelings from this year’s Marathon Weekend, but this is a moment I want to hold on to for a long, long time — the excitement and pride my mother felt after getting her first 5k medal, at the age of 78, one year out from breaking her femur. Walking this race with her, and being able to share it with one of my best friends and one of my mother’s biggest fans was icing on the cake.

Had a fantastic weekend wandering Bentonville, eating all the food, checking out some art, and celebrating 10 years of best friendship (with a special appearance from Mark) | #veenontheroad #budabesties2k18

I’m almost finished with my blog post about my most recent New York visit, and I keep coming back to this photo. One of my best cousins and one of my best friends, who have themselves become great friends to one another. They bring so much joy and light to my life, and I loved this time we were able to spend together 💙

Continued the birthday celebrations last night at the Shell. Couldn’t have asked for better company or weather | #ilovememphis #choose901

Blurry birthday besties, because there’s no one else I’d rather spend this day with. I’m excited to see what this next trip around the sun brings for us both 💙

I am so grateful for these ladies, for this city, and for a weekend getaway to celebrate 30 years of Alex Middleton 💙

Look who is back to work today! I have learned so much from her these last 5.5 months about resilience and strength and determination, and I am so grateful that she is able to return to doing what she loves. Shoutout to surgeons and nurses and therapists and all the healthcare heroes who have helped along the way, and a special shoutout to her for being a badass | #mamaswami

I got everything unpacked and on the shelves and will now live with it for a few weeks to see how I feel. My initial thought is that I love it and will never leave this room again | #VeensCastle
