Scenes of the Summer

It's been a really busy summer, and one that didn't start to slow down really until today. The month of August was CRAZY busy with my cousin's wedding in Nashville,  visiting friends and doing a little sightseeing in Colorado, and spending some much-needed time with my family back in the Midwest. I've spent more time in the car with my parents in 31 days than I possibly have in my life. And I wouldn't change it...even though we all really needed our space in separate rooms for a while afterwards!  

Here are just a few scenes from my Summer 2014:

I am officially in love with these United States, and I totally want to live everywhere all at once. Ever get that feeling?

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?

My Holiday in Pictures

Boston is snowed in, but this isn't my first rodeo. I come from a place that MADE us go out to recess in this kind of weather, but Boston just isn't handling it like the pros of the Midwest. Single digit temperatures make you tough, so embrace it, Northeast! Since the city has decided to take a break and stay inside, I figured now would be a good time to share a few pictures from my trip home to Wisconsin. I miss it dearly, and being snowed in without a cuddly miniature schnauzer to keep me company isn't helping.

Usually, I stay with my family for Christmas and New Year's, but since I had to get back to work right after the holidays, I decided to spend New Year's with some of my favorite people.

That's Melyssa and Caitlin. I've known them for two years, but it really feels like longer. They're two of the weirdest people you'll meet, but also the funniest, and the best.

Our friendship can be completely summed up in two pictures:

We don't always get to see each other, but when we do, it feels like we're sisters.

Noticeably missing: My best friend, Emily. But you'll meet her soon enough.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Stay cool, wherever you are.
