I know I'm a little behind on this post, since we said goodbye to summer about a month ago, but I'm finally feeling like fall is here and the craziness has settled down for me.
These past few months have been life changing to say the least. Let's see- there were a few weddings and celebrations, a vacation, a couple of races and a new workout routine, and a new job. Whew, I am tired just thinking about it.
Let's start with the weddings! This year, I added 3 more weddings to my long list (It seems I'm working towards the 27 Dresses Fairy-tale, I think we are at about 16...). In May we had Jen and Tony's wedding, then in September was Amanda and Brett's truly fairy-tale Cinderella wedding, and in October the beautiful beach wedding of my best friend Shelly and her new husband Ryan. Here's some highlights!

Vacation this year in OBX with my family was also as wonderful as ever. We did a Raven's beach photo shoot, and I caught my very first fish. (May I also note, for my first time fishing, I caught the first fish of the head boat AND the most fish of anyone in my family!)

What else! Oh! I ran a few races. First as a part of NS FIT Run A was the Women's Distance Festival. Then I did a few more 5K's, one for the 4th of July and one in the fall for NFRC which is a non-profit close to my heart! On top of that, my good friend Stacy got me involved with Extreme Fun and Fit Bootcamp and now I've been going there to get my workout on even more! (By the way, if you live in Howard County, they have an AWESOME Groupon going on right now...you should try it!)

Finally, I took a promotion at work and became a member of Associate Professional Staff, which was something I have been really working towards in the 5 years I have been here. I even got to do some work travel. I took a few trips to Albuquerque, New Mexico and one to Boston!

So, now that we are all caught up and settled in, I can finally get back to basics and this blog. I hope everyone stuck around even though the posts were few and far between. I'll be sure to get back later this week with maybe a new dinner recipe or I'm sure some post about one of the crazy boot camp workouts, or maybe both!
