Happy birthday

Today is my Grandma's first birthday in heaven. She would have been 81. It seems so crazy that it was just a year ago I went to NY for her 80th birthday party. I'm so, so, so happy that my family decided to throw this party for her. She looked happy, healthy and so adorable in her blue and white outfit.

I miss her every day, and I know she's up there celebrating and drinking Baileys despite being pissed about the Mets' 3 streak loss. Love you grams.

In other news, I tried something new last night and knocked off another thing from my Fitness Bucket List: take a free outdoor fitness class.

After work I went to Cardio Pilates on the Rose Kennedy Greenway with a few friends. Ali Baldassare led the class and even had an awesome DJ set up. Around 6:15 we showed up with our yoga mats and set them up on the grass with about 200 others. The weather was perfect and the class was awesome but really tough. Ali was an amazing teacher and I would love to take another class with her. The class was a mixture of pilates and barre moves with cardio bursts mixed in. I could definitely feel the fact that I haven't strength trained in about a month, but it was motivating. Gotta get back to it.

Hoping the weather will be nice next Monday so I can go again!

And now, some pretty pictures of flowers, just because.

Can you spot the bumble bee?
