Nationals Opening Day 2012
Opening Day is one of my favorite days each year. I love baseball, always have, so being able to watch Major League Baseball here in DC is amazing!

Celebrations at the Melting Pot
Tonight Neal, Liz, Matt and I went to the Melting Pot to celebrate Liz’s and my birthday, Neal’s and my engagement, and Matt’s return to DC. It was so nice to have a dinner date with the gang, as Matt has been out of town on business for the past 5 weeks. We started dinner…
One Good Apple
I was so incredibly sad when I heard the news of Steve Jobs‘ passing tonight. What an amazing man. To think of how much impact he made to this world in a short 56 years is unbelievable. Reading this article and the responses truly made me cry. Steve impacted so many people and touched so…
A Little Punkin’ In My Life
After Iowa lost to Iowa State yesterday afternoon, Neal and I just had to get out of the house. After an impromptu haircut for Neal, I convinced Neal to go see Contagion with me. I’m going to give it 4.5/5 stars! I thought it was a really good movie and gets you thinking about if…

A Wicked Weekend

Friday? Wooohooo!
So yesterday was a pretty rockin’ day. The work day went by pretty quickly, which was awesome!! I’m not sure if it was the excitement of getting Invisalign or if it was the workload, either way, the day went by pretty fast. I had planned to workout after work but I was pretty pooped and…

Opposite Day!
Now that the Bachelorette is on, I can officially say that it is summer! I love the Bachelorette, even more than I love the Bachelor. I just love seeing the crazy dates they go on and the lengths these guys will go to to win this woman’s heart. Though it may be a little more…
What a bad week!
Well, I gained 2.2lbs this week! What a bad week… and weird week at that. The WW leader asked me if I expected the weight gain and I said “no” but now that I look back, I’m not surprised to have gained weight.
