Weekend Fun

Filed in: General

Sometimes you just need a fun weekend with friends. And that’s exactly what this weekend was. It was busy but filled with lots of great things:

-Enjoying the beautiful weather on our patio. I’m super spoiled to have such a great view.

-A super fun housewarming party for my friends Hannah and Brando who just moved in together. It was a great get together of awesome friends, plus Hannah even put together a homemade ice cream bar with freshly baked brownies, cookies and caramel corn.

Man, a lot has been going on the last few weeks. Usually I feel like winter is the slow time of year with everyone hibernating a bit to wait out the dreary, drizzly days but instead this March has been one of the busiest with most nights having some sort of event, either for work, a blogger event, or just trying to get to the gym. It’s been a bit of a struggle keeping up with everything!

That made this past weekend really great – I spent almost of it sleeping, getting much needed exercise, catching up with friends, and planning our crazy adventure to SE Asia for next fall. (I have spent most of my time researching where to eat, go figure!) Continue Reading...
