Update-ish

Goodness.....life has been crazy recently.....crazy in a really good way.  If you're at all interested in the highlights of what I've been up to recently, here's a quick run-down of the last few months (I know....it's been a while....)

Recently I have......

made two trips to Medford for friends' weddings. On the latter trip I actually took a few days off and got to do all the "leading up to the wedding" festivities (Bridal luncheon, Bachelorette party, Rehearsal dinner).  It was so wonderful to be with friends and have a few days away to celebrate my close friend Melissa's marriage.

ran two half-marathons.  Yeah, seriously.  One was REALLY hilly....the other was flat.  Both were a ton of fun and had gorgeous scenery.  Oh, and I officially signed up for the Portland Marathon.  That's right folks, I'm in for sure.  When I think about running 26.2 miles I am both really excited and scared speechless.  Is that a good thing?

moved to a new apartment!  Back in early June I moved to a new apartment, with a new roommate.  My new place has a ton of space and currently even an extra bedroom.  I have a whole upstairs loft master bedroom to myself which has been wonderful.  I am learning my way around my new neighborhood and have had fun decorating the new place.  I'll post some pictures soon hopefully.

watched a lot of soccer.  Between the World Cup and multiple Portland Timbers games, I've been in soccer-heaven.  Anyone want to go to Brazil for 2014??

wished I could have summer break again so I could gallivant around doing fun things in the sun all day.  Instead I am gainfully employed and must make it a priority to get outside during lunch since it is finally amazing weather here in the Pacific Northwest.
