Celebrating!

The last few weeks have held some fun adventures, and I've celebrated a variety of things. But first, let me celebrate someone else. My crit partner and long-time writer friend DL Hammons has signed with an agent!! I've known Don for several years through blogging, and his epic Write Club contests, and since summer I joined a crit group he started, so I'm very familiar with his awesome book Moving Fear. I am SO SUPER STOKED to announce this awesome news!!

EDIT! THIS JUST IN! One of my other long-time writer friends released her debut novel today! Congrats to Beth Sanderson for Dying Embers! A juicy revenge story :) Check it out here.

Moving on to me, I'll express the last few weeks in some pictures:


 
  

Some yummy things I made.




Celebrating 31 days in a row of yoga!! I completed my challenge. Also, it was a pre-celebration of awesome stuff happening soon. I don't know exactly what yet, but it's happening :)



 
 

A fun trip to Atlanta, including the Georgia Aquarium.




And last but certainly not least, another celebration - my boyfriend successfully completed the test for his black belt in Judo a few days ago, so we had some dessert and champagne. 


What are you celebrating (or pre-celebrating!) this month? Do tell!

    Congratulations to your boyfriend!
    Been friends with DL for almost five years and it was so awesome to hear he'd signed with an agent.

Congrats to your friend for her new book and to your boyfriend for his new black belt status! That's great that you've completed a whole month of yoga. I sure hope that presages good things to come.

    Yippee! So many wonderful reasons to celebrate. We're always looking for good reasons. Right now, I'd celebrate a full night's sleep, but I have a funny feeling that one's not going to happen for a long time.
