What I've Been Up To

Hello blog world, it's been a while!

Coming back to this blog after a break is always a bit daunting. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and the blog just really had to take a back seat. Things are settling down now, so hopefully I'll be back to regular updating soon with some fun posts! For today, here are some quick updates:

1. I signed a lease for a new apartment! It's still in construction, but here are some photos:

It's much smaller than the mansion I'm living in now, but is really nice and in the location I wanted. It also has a back porch!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy about that. Can you tell???!?!

2. I spent a weekend in NY celebrating the weddings of some of my favorite people!

3. I spent a week in Philadelphia for work.

Giant hotel room

Not a bad view

Mini golf champion!

4. I turned 26 and made the best birthday cocktails ever (more on my birthday celebrations to come!)

5. My sister Liz officially asked me to be her maid of honor!!! I can't wait to help her plan the big day and all of the other days in between :) :)

6. Me and Tom did our second round of garden planting. This garden brings me so much joy, it's insane!

Not ours, but beautiful roses!

Chives

Parsley

Dill (hello homemade pickles!!!)

The garden!

Zucchini and green beans

Cucumbers

Snap peas and spinach

Tomatoes taking off!

Jalapeño peppers

6. I planned my third successful golf tournament at work!

Exploding golf balls!

And brought home over 200 fresh oysters. The joys of event planning!

7. I missed my final DietBet weigh in by 1.2 lbs. Really big bummer, but what am I gonna do? I spent the week and a half before the weigh in traveling and just couldn't make it. I'm still really happy with the results!

8. I've gotten pretty off track with my healthy lifestyle lately. I've been really dang busy and haven't made time to workout as often, plus I just haven't been food shopping. Today I re-opened my food log and am starting fresh. Luckily there hasn't really been any damage done. I stepped on the scale today and was very happy with the number it showed. Time to get serious again!!!!

Cheers to summer finally being here!
