For my sister’s birthday, she decided on a Sedona visit to try out every single birthday cake in town. In between cake samplings and to give her lungs a break from blowing out so many candles, we did a few hikes here and there, some up to 7 miles and some that were intended on 1.6 miles but ended up closer to 6.6.
We had such a blast getting to know her great friends and falling in love with all this city has to offer. Wishing my little sis the happiest of birthdays!!
Last week I was able to take time and recharge at @lakeaustinspa before Umlauf Garden Party. I booked a full body lymphatic Endosphere massage by @endospheresusa_official , while it’s here from Italy!
It was amazing. This was a totally different massage experience but it was one where I could see results immediately! We took a before and after photo that demonstrates the decrease in inflammation. I can’t wait to try the Endosphere facial treatment! Afterwards I spent time poolside reading and appreciating the tranquility of the grounds! Every visit to Lake Austin Spa is special and I always leave feeling like I had a mini vacation!
What a magical evening at the @umlaufsculpture Sculpture Garden + Museum.
From stunning art and nature to bites from 20+ amazing Austin restaurants, every detail of the Garden Party was unforgettable. The room was filled with generosity, joy, and purpose bids went high, but the impact went even higher.
Grateful for the incredible leaders who brought this vision to life and for every guest who showed up to support such a meaningful cause. Biggest auction to date!

If you have not been to Lucky Robot yet, you are missing out!! They are donating an even better Private Chefs dinner at this year’s Garden Party, paired with a private home concert with your choice of band at @sofarsounds !
Garden Party is less than 2 weeks away!! /garden-party
Jonathon and I spent a quick weekend in Park City hosted by my college roomie, Darin Libby. This was my first visit, and although the snow was incredibly sad for this time of year, we toured the incredibly fun village, hiking at Sundance, and had a blast catching up. I am so thankful for my time at @austincollege where I developed so many meaningful, lifelong friendships. We are already planning our next visit, but this time with @merrileemarshlibby ! Thank you for your generous hospitality, my friend! See you in a few weeks at Derby Party!
One month until Garden Party. 🌿
On April 16th, we're celebrating 35 years of the UMLAUF with an evening that makes it all possible.

I cannot imagine living this life without my love. Today, we celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary but still feels like we just fell in love yesterday 🥰 I love you deeply, Jonathon. Excited to continue traveling the world with you.
A great evening watching election results! The election was still too close to call at Midnight but we got to hear from James and the crowd was on fire! 💙 🇺🇸
