This summer has been so busy so far! Rob has been traveling for work the past three or four weeks, so I've been on my own every Sunday through each Thursday. It's definitely reminiscent of our long-distance days, but traveling for work is a bit easier on our bank account, which certainly doesn't suck.

I spent half of last week in Charlotte and a few days after that in Roanoke, which was so nice--Rob and I spent some time in our soon-to-be new city and visited our soon-to-be new apartment together. And then we spent the weekend here in Minneapolis, so I'm home for another week of packing, blogging, and watching an embarrassing amount of Gossip Girl.

Here's a look at life lately, according to photos on my phone:

1. Charlotte is pretty! Love the view of the skyline from this sweet park in Uptown.
2. We hiked Crowder's Mountain with my in-laws last Sunday. Such a great workout and an even better view from the top.
3. I think Not Just Coffee might be my new almond milk latte spot in North Carolina.
4. Spent a few evenings on my parents' back deck overlooking Smith Mountain Lake.
5. Crepe Myrtles are so gorgeous and always remind me of home.
6. I'm seriously lusting over that painting in the back. Does anyone have $5,000 lying around to buy it for me?
7. Celebrated one year of self-employment with a glass of prosecco and this bizarre photo of me clinking glasses with my brother-in-law from across the table.
8. A weekend walk around Lake Harriet.
9. How cute is Rob? I hate having him away all week, but our weekends together sure are fun.

What have you been up to lately? I want to see!

I was doing such a good job posting one of these every month, and then I went and skipped April completely! Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately, but it's really good. Here's a look at what I've been up to lately, if you already need a break from wedding recaps (you better catch your breath, because there are plenty more on the way).

1. Slowly but surely letting go of the vacation diet and eating Paleo again. It's been delicious, but man have I been feeling terrible lately.
2. Is anyone else in Minneapolis having spring allergies? I can't seem to stop sneezing. More tea for me, please. (Also I sort of love wearing my wedding ring on its own sometimes.)
3. Hit up our favorite weekend lunch spot for the first time as married people and it was weird and awesome.
4. Enjoying these warmer days (finally!) with some rooftop grilled chicken.
5. Remember that time I was in Punta Cana? That was last week.
6. Best Friend Wedding Day Market Run two weeks ago. I went for a run by myself over the weekend and it made me miss my girlfriends so much.

What have you been up to lately? I'm so glad to be back to blogging but I've missed so much!

Hi and happy Monday! This month has been so full of good times with friends, and it's really just made me so happy. The beginning of March marked the first time I thought, "Oh my God, I can't handle any more of this winter," and I know we'll get more snow, but a few warm days here and there (our windows are open!) and a trip back to Virginia for my bachelorette really made this "second winter," as some Minnesotans like to call it (that would be February through April, in case you were wondering) a little more bearable.

So without further ado, here's a look at March in photos!

1. Started the month (and celebrated our fifth anniversary) by picking up our wedding bands.

2. New candles make the apartment feel like spring.

3. Read (and loved!) B.J. Novak's One More Thing for The Eighty Twenty Book Club.

4-6. Spent a week at my parents' house in Roanoke before heading to D.C. for my bachelorette weekend.

7-8. Took the light rail to drag brunch at The Gay 90s with two of my Minneapolis girlfriends.

9. Breakfasted, museum-ed, and coffee-d with an old friend from high school who was in town for the weekend.
