Sorry, I am a little late in posting this! Hope all of you had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. :) 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on pro-rated car insurance for my old Honda: $153. After that, it probably is gasoline. I can’t remember when I have driven so much in one

One Year Ago
This weekend, last year, I was packing up my life in DC, kissing long distance goodbye and moving to NC. It is amazing to me how much my life has changed since then: I got a new job, I got engaged, I moved to a new apartment, and I got married. What a year. Here’s
