Ocean Walk

Aug 10, 2012

Guys, thank you so much for all your supportive words on Monday's post - it absolutely lightened my heart! I'm happy to report that "operation rest" is in full effect. Martin & I have been spending our evenings walking down to the ocean, usually after a super healthy dinner on our patio, and taking in all of the amazingly beautiful surroundings. Isn't it stunning here?! I love living by such a beautiful trail - we're pretty much here every day during the summer & fall months!
My denim jacket has become my summer staple! It's such an easy piece to throw on with a dress or cute skirt. And my apologies for the flip-flops/footwear... normally I would wear much cuter strappy sandals but I didn't want to scuff them on the trail. Aw, and there's Scout happily showing off his new summer hair-cut & bandana; we had so many people stop us and tell us what a cutie he is! :)

Well, this week has been pretty quiet. I'm taking a few weeks off from work. Most days, I'm only up for a few hours, and then so insanely tired that I'm back in bed & dead asleep. But my doctor said that's totally normal and to be expected. Martin has been an absolute dream, I'm not even sure how I would get through this without him - he's been by my side non-stop! Going through this has given me such an appreciation for what's important in life and I'm so thankful for that. Hope your weekend is lovely, friends!


Lots of love,

  7. Glad to hear you're feeling better! And your trail looks so peaceful. My parents live in forest preserves and they have these beautiful trails you can take deep into the woods- it makes you want to big a little log cabin and never come out.
    And i really need to get a new denim jacket- i cut the sleeves off of all of mine for vests for the summer haha

  9. Wow this looks amazing! When Peanut is a little older (and bigger) we might have to visit this place so he can enjoy a little time outside the busy downtown area.

    I almost didn't recognize Scout... he looks so different in his "summer coat"! ;-)

  10. Glad to see that you're at least able to get up and out, Veronika, even if it is only for a few hours. It does look like you've been spending those few hours of energy in a truly lovely way - this place looks absolutely stunning. And frankly, Scout pretty much looks like he's in doggy heaven :) Although to be honest, this spot looks a bit like people heaven, too. That last shot is absolutely stunning! Hope you have a wonderfully restful weekend ahead :)

  23. Don't apologize for the flip flops. :) It shows us a more relatable YOU! :) While, we all love our heels and pretty footwear, sometimes a pair of flip flops is just what our toesies and footsies need. hehehe.

    Great photo, Veronika! It looks so relaxing. Wishing you a wondeful weekend!

He is such a cutie with his fresh cut and bandanna :). i wouldn't mind coming to that trail everyday because of how breathtakingly dreamy it is! make sure to get plenty of rest and load up on fluids and chick flicks (those make anyone feel better, right?) ;P!

  40. um, sooooooo YOU are (practically) barefoot and breathtaking! what a special spot to go to after enjoying a lovely dinner with your handsome one. being near the water always creates such a soothing affect. Scout looks uber chic in his bandana, i just wanna snuggle him up and pile on the kisses!!!!!

    Martin obvs has your back and then some, those kind of men are a rarity and i'm so glad you have him there by your side the whole way through this trying time. you two are the perfect pair, full love as large as yours can make almost all troubles melt away to nothingness. wishing you the best rests and sweet silence inside your own mind. blessings. xo ♥
