First off, I went on an incredible backpacking journey through Europe in May and just fell OFF. So apologies for that. I’m hoping to get back in it now that I’m back so here’s some updates as of the last couples months:

• I went on an incredible 32 day trip through Europe (yes, I should write more about that, eventually)
• I went to Baltimore for a work conference and had a blast. I have gone to this conference 3 times now and am blown away by it every single year. It’s informative, the networking is incredibly valuable, and it’s honestly a BLAST every year.
• While in Baltimore, my mom flew out to hang out with me and we had an amazing time. We hadn’t seen each other since December so it was great to catch up!
• My best friend did her gender reveal for baby # 2 and we’re excited to be welcoming another baby boy into the fam.
• Jay and I went to a wedding for some friends of his and really enjoyed ourselves.
• My boyfriend moved in and we’ve been settling into life together and I’m loving it.
• We rented a beach house in Galveston for the 4th of July and enjoyed the beach.
• My best friend in Michigan got engaged!
• AND last night we celebrated our 1 year anniversary by going to a really nice dinner at Casa do Brazil which was quite the experience. We got all dressed up and ate WAY too much food. I loved it.

We’ll dive deeper into work, life, and everything else next week (:

Write you next week!
