T is for Townsend: Where Did You Go, May?

Word on the street is, IT'S JUNE. Which is a little weird because I have been looking all over to try and find where May went and I have no idea where it ended up. JK I found it in my photo library, which I just spent 1+ hours looking through and I'm about to show you all of it. But the point is, May went by fast..pickin' up what I'm layin' down?

May was my dear friend Tyah's 30th birthday and her husband threw her a surprise party (points for you, Abel) and we drank wine together and took photos with oversized 3-0 balloons cause else are you supposed to do at your 30th you know what I mean?

Tyah is 1/4 of what we call, The Quad. 2 Townsends + 2 Haros = The Quad. It's probably not the most original name but I'm not good at math so that's the best I could do. Nate and Abel have been running amok together since like, the 1st grade. Then Abel and Tyah got together in high school and she came into my life with her beautiful flowing blonde hair and perfect face and I wasn't sure how to be friends with someone so perfect but everything turned out fine and we've been bff's ever since.

May was also my dear friend Jennica's birthday and it just so happened to work out that I had the honor and privilege of dining with, and enjoying the happiest of hours with the birthday girl on her actual birthday. We ate bruschetta, drank wine, and filled out brackets. A Disney bracket, an 80's/90's movie bracket, and a Taylor Swift song bracket, to be exact. I discovered the art of filling out brackets this year and now I can't stop cause it's kind of (read: really) fun. Perhaps more on this later, in its own blog post (cause I need blog material if you know what I mean). I can't speak for the birthday girl, but it was a pretty damn good night if you ask me.

You know what else was pretty damn good (such a predictable transition, I know)?! THE TAYLOR SWIFT REPUTATION STADIUM TOUR. And I went in May. And it was opening night. And it was everything I had hoped it would be. And there was an acoustic version of Dancing with our Hands Tied (which was EVERYTHING). And an acoustic version of All too Well (which also was EVERYTHING cause that's my fav T Swift song of all time). And she danced in a water fountain and ugh I'm sad it ever had to end.

My friend Kayla and I have gone to every single one of her headlining tours and Reputation was definitely one for the books! Thanks Tay Tay.

We celebrated mom's in May - mine in particular, with a bouquet of gift cards and more importantly (just being honest) an ice cream bar.

I had more helpings of ice cream than I care to admit and I paid for it in breakouts, but yolo worth it. Mom's sacrifice a lot to raise kids - the least I could do was sacrifice my skin to eat copious amounts of ice cream buried in candy. Call me a team player.

Nate and I FINALLY got our Sig P365's in May, that we ordered back in February. Sig came out with a compact carry pistol this January that holds 10+1 rounds. TEN PLUS ONE. I got the P238 a couple years ago because it was small enough for me to comfortably carry and I can easily load the magazines, but it only holds 7+1 rounds. So, for Sig to make virtually the same size firearm but increase the capacity - you can imagine why everyone else wanted one too.
