As of lately...

I think I am really going to get back to writing more regularly soon, but as for now...

Eating-- Vegetarian Chili from the Healthy Grocery Girl Nutrition Plan. This is not the exact recipe, but it is a twist on the original. Even though it is crazy hot, this was super easy to make and made a TON of food!

Listening-- Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (Previously of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate). Jack's Mannequin is one of my all time favorite bands and their song "Swim" is pretty much my anthem.


Drinking-- Water, water and more water. Have I mentioned it is hot here?

Thinking-- About cyberbullying and how it doesn't necessarily get better once you become an adult (more to come on that later)

Wasting-- time watching "Royal Pains" on Netflix #obsessed

Dreaming-- Weird dreams that somehow take place at the Louvre and Disney World at the same time #lifegoals #wanderlust #happiestplaceonearth

Eyeing-- Tory Burch Riding Boots from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Laughing-- At my coworkers and their ridiculous stories. They keep me sane :D

Reading-- Grace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman. I just started it so I haven't formulated an opinion/review of the book. The topic, though, hits right on point.

Wishing-- I had air conditioning or a tropical beach. But at least it isn't winter....

As of lately

This spring has flown by.
I think the combination of being happy that it is no longer winter (#praiseHim), being so busy at work and traveling so much has made this time go fast. It has been incredibly full and here is a little round-up:
Easter trip to California to visit my best friend and her husband! Spent the day in Santa Monica
We surprised one of my co-workers and  took her to sky zone for her birthday!
My college friend is leaving the area to start PA school, so we went to Painting with a Twist to celebrate!
My brother graduated college in Boston over Mothwr's Day weekend. Naturally, a photo shoot ensued.
Gurlz weekend celebrating a wedding in NC.
Being a super tourist
Happy Easter from Beverly Hills
Quick weekend trip to NYC with the parents to see a few shows and visit the WTC memorial 
Hiking in the NC mountains for Memorial Day weekend!

Work is winding down a bit and my extensive travels will be calming for a bit over the summer, so hopefully blogging will get back on my radar!

Quote of the day

A Future Not My Own





God slow me down
I'm like a river running
Pressed to the ground
I feel it overcoming
I'm on my knees
I'm incomplete
This is a great unknown
Love is a long and narrow road
Come chase this heart of stone
I need a future not my own
Your spirit groans
Where all my words are ceasing
Can't do this alone
Lord help my unbelieving
My poverty
I'm incomplete 
This is a great unknown
Love is a long and narrow road
Come chase this heart of stone
I need a future not my own
Not my own
We see the start but You see the end
We see in part but Your love sees everything
We plant the seeds but You make them grow
We're building a house, You're building a home
This is the great unknown
Love is a long and narrow road
Come chase this heart of stone
I need a future not my own
This world is not my home
I still have miles and miles to go
Come break this heart of stone
I need a future not my own
