H-A-double L-O-W-double E-N spells Halloween!

Please enjoy this blast from the past that I remember singing in middle school chorus in honor of Halloween tomorrow! Happy trick or treating!

Updates

As you already know, I've been a busy girl lately! As we speak, I am sitting in Kansas City and will be en route back to Atlanta a little later today. I absolutely cannot wait to get home. I usually enjoy work travel, but this has been a little bit of an overload this fall. I think this two week trip including a weekend away has put me over the edge a little. I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend and being in the office all next week. I may even take Friday off to treat myself!

Things that have happened recently:
-Toured my first 3 townhouses! Very exciting, even though I'm not sure any of them were "the one"
-Toured every possible tourist attraction in KC.
-Made plans to go to Las Vegas for a work trip in a few weeks.
-Ate waaaay too much red meat...but alas, i'm in the land of BBQ and steak.
-Found out a good friend is moving back to Atlanta and only a mile away! Yay!

Things I hope to happen soon:
-Catch up with pretty much all of my friends. I feel like I haven't spoken to or seen any of you in so long. I promise it was my fault completely! Life on the road and on another time zone has not been very condusive to keeping up. I miss all of you!
-More condo shopping. I'm ready to move!
-Healthier eating and more gym going. Asap.
-Cleaning, erranding and enjoying a little bit of home life for a while.
-Seeing John...going for two weeks at a time without him can be a little rough :(
-Fall baking. I know this doesn't go with healthier eating, but I am dying to bake a pumpkin pie.

New Hair!

I just went from this:



To this (pardon the self-photo)!

I like it! I feels super short right now, but I was getting so tired of my long blah hair. What do y'all think?

Homecoming in W-S

Beautiful Groves Stadium. Too bad we lost...boo.

It was a great trip! I always love going to DC, and it was an especially great way to spend my birthday with John and some very close friends.

Shopping news

I finally broke down and bought Tory Burch flats. I managed to find these beauties on a 70% off last pair sale! Hooray for me!

State Fair Foods

I am still in mourning that I will be missing the NC State Fair again this year--the second year in a row! and I had never missed it up until 2009!--but alas, I can still look at pictures of deep fried goodness from other fairs! Enjoy!

Back!

I realize that it has been forever--almost a month!--since my last post. I apologize! Life sort of got in the way, and it doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. Not that that is a bad thing. Lots of wonderful stuff has been happening and hopefully will continue to happen in the next couple of months. Here's the breakdown--

In the past month I have:
-Spent a week in Nashville, TN
-Spent two weeks (and a birthday!) in Washington, D.C.
-Spent a weekend in North Carolina
-Turned a year older
-Saw 5 very close friends in the District
-Toured lots of wonderful Smithsonians and the Capitol
-Saw 3 other close friends and various family at home in NC
-Received lots of wonderful gifts for my birthday including a Wii from John. I'm a lucky girl!
-Went to Six Flags
-Had a one year anniversary :)
-Started seriously condo shopping

As if that wasn't enough...in the next 3 months I hope to:
-Have my first leadership role at work
-Pass a very important test related to my job
-Go to my first conference (in Las Vegas!)
-Buy a condo and move!
-Travel, travel, travel

My life is a little insane, as you can see, but I'm really hoping to keep up with it on the blog! Lots of excitement is happening and even though I know I'm going to be insanely busy, I am unbelievably lucky to have all these opportunities. And to top it all off, homecoming at Wake is this weekend! I can't wait to see my friends yet again and eat lots of yummy NC food (read: barbeque). My life is wonderful.

I hope you all have been doing great! Fill me in on what has been going on please :)
