~Life Update~

Hi friends,

It's been a while since I've updated this thing but I have a handful of good reasons so here goes...

1. We moved! Only 12 miles from our old house but a move is a move.. Stressful, tiring, and chaotic. Organizing, purging, and living out of boxes/suitcases has been my life for the past week. Our new house required lots of new stuff like a stove, microwave, dishwasher, ceiling fans, and furniture. We had fun (sort of) shopping for the best deals and the right stuff for us. David has been busy unpacking boxes and arranging things and cleaning up the mess as he goes. We're finally starting to settle in to the new house after a couple trips to target, the grocery store, and of course, amazon. We had a bit of a fiasco with the furniture delivery guys denting our fridge.. Oh, and the dishwasher isn't working either but Samsung is supposed to come check it out.
2. WORK IS CRAZY! No seriously.. I don't think I've been this busy @ work in 3 years. For those of you who don't know, I work in real estate. It's an all encompassing kind of job; a lifestyle. I think I have something like 16 files going on right now? That's a LOT to keep track of. Luckily I've been training David to be my assistant so that eventually he can take over my job and I can be out in the field more. It comes in handy when I have a "to-do" list of 25 things, I can give him a portion of it!
3. In the midst of moving, I got sick. Now, I tend to power through my sicknesses, take some emergen-c and keep some tissues at my desk and do what I need to do. (I like to save my sick days for those first day period cramps that make it impossible to get out of bed.) Anyways, I woke up with a 102 fever on moving day (of course!) and laid around and sweat it out all day. Doctor ordered 3 days of rest but of course with moving that wasn't possible. Now, I 'm going on day 7 and finally feeling better. Happy to have my lost voice back! It was quite embarrassing talking to clients at work with no voice.
4. I haven't been reading. Like at all! My nook's charger port is broken therefor, it doesn't work. I have been listing to The Girl on the Train Audiobook but it's really dragging on and on. The narrator is terrible and that makes it even more difficult to get through. I'm ready for it to come to an end and start Choosing You by Allie Everhart.
5. I'm getting ready to go on vacation! To Colorado, to the beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater to see Gramatik! Super excited to get away from the normal hustle and bustle and enjoy a weekend with three friends I don't get to see because we all live in different cities. 

Okay so those are my reasons for not updating more often but I'll try to get back to it.. I've been cooking more which has been fun, you can check out my latest obsession, boxed meals HERE or check out my other recipes HERE. Let me know what you think!
