Woo hoo! It's Friday!

I love the dynamic of the weekend and the good vibes it brings.  Despite being on my summer vacation and the fact that I work from home, I feel like my favorite summer moments happen on the weekends.  It's when I unplug from the blog and step away from any and all work that I have.  On top of that, I feel like it's a good opportunity to spend time with both my family and Tim's since everyone is around!

I have a pretty busy week ahead of me so I am looking forward to taking the weekend to relax and prepare for a week of meetings and one very, very important interview.

For now, here are a few things I'm loving right now...

1.  This blog.

2.  These shoes from Target, which I bought today...along with like 4 dresses....oops.
 

3.  The idea that Fall clothes are on the horizon.  They were all over Target in a "Fall Preview" section and I was so excited.

4.  This perfect little guide from specialsections.suntimes.com:
5.  Birchbox...I can't wait to get mine!

6.  This article on public relations and how to have better objectives



That's it for now!  Have a lovely weekend and come back soon :)

Sunday recap!

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's cold in New Jersey and I am dreading the fact that I have class tomorrow...but that is besides the point.

It has been a really long week here and probably an even longer weekend.  Between staring my internship in the city with an hour and a half commute to rushing back for night classes and business dinners, I hardly had time to slow down.  This weekend I haven't slept past 6:30 a.m. once...not even ONCE.  Needless to say I am utterly exhausted and have to repeat it this week.  Yikes.  

I'm so tired I don't even think I grasped a single thing from church this morning which is horrible of me.  I was just so focused on the million other little things going on.  It's funny because usually I have these weeks every once in a while but for some reason I don't see things slowing down in the near future.  February is a terribly busy month with wonderful things planned but man, it's times like these when I still wish I had caffeine!

On a totally weird side note tangent, I found out today that my married ex-boyfriend, whom I dated all through high school, is having a baby.  It was weird when he got married. I mean granted I wanted to get married like yesterday, but still, besides the point.  I think what makes this all the weirder is that my best friend growing up already has a little girl.  Holy moly....like what?  I in no way mean to judge and I wish them both the best but I suppose I view things differently.  I want to have a huge family, I just want to wait.  I want to spend years with Tim travelling and building a life we are both proud of and feel secure having.  Regardless, this morning I stopped and thought about all of it and couldn't help but feel that awful pang in my chest reminding me that it's not high school anymore.  That graduation is soon, that I have responsibilities, that I am an adult.  None of us are kids anymore and we certainly aren't all hanging out at the beach together talking about when our days would be like this...no they are surely here.

A few moments from our weekend




Cutest milk containers ever!

My perfect bed...Tim doesn't agree 

Been looking for a chair like this for so long! It's called a "chair and a half" 

Such a fitting find on our date day

Tim testing chairs for himself...he liked this one



But he really liked this one...I love doing life with this guy.  




Today we have just been bumming around Tim's family's house.  It's been great but we decided to get out for a bit and use the awesome Red Mango Groupon I bought last night!  First we headed to Crate&Barrel just for fun.  We walked around talking over what we liked and didn't like for our future house and laughing at all the things we realized we disagreed on.  I liked the table with the country bench, he wanted a bed with no posts...that sort of thing.  I ended up getting this adorable little fruit crate for my fridge at school but I was so sad that I couldn't buy the whole store.  I want my own kitchen so bad (ugh).  

We bummed around for a bit more at the store then headed over to Chipotle for lunch!  It was so packed, but well worth the wait.  After that we ended the day with some amazing froyo at Red Mango.  Typically it isn't our favorite because we enjoy splurging on our sweets, but we have been on a health kick! 

Have a great weekend!
