Whew. These past few days have been go-go-go. Yesterday, we drove to Winston Salem to celebrate Matt’s little sister’s graduation from Wake Forest. Seeing all the students in adorable sun dresses sure made me want to be a college student and got me excited for the summer season.
Congrats to the lovely graduate, Chelsea!
Lucky for me, I also got to see one of my college friends graduate from law school. Congrats to Katie too:)
After the ceremony, we all lunched on sandwiches from Chelsea’s favorite sub shop and enjoyed summer beers and cookies at a local park. It was a wonderful afternoon and I enjoyed just relaxing in the sun with both my families.
Today, I got up and went to the gym before my usual babysitting shift. Only the little girl “got sick” and my job was cancelled (it was a ploy). And then this happened….
Holy moly.

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life.

Congratulations!! What a gorgeous ring. I *literally* said to myself when I started reading this post – “I wonder when her and Matt are going to get engaged.” And then I creeped myself out because (a) I don’t know you (or Matt) IRL and (b) I have no idea what your relationship is really like and if you even want to get married.
lol:)
That’s gorgeous!!! Congrats!! Enjoy every moment of the fanfare
