Oh. My. Gosh. Where did my vacation go?!? It was super nice to be back in Charlotte for a week and I always think it’s going to be “so relaxing”… until I realize all the things I have to get done. Doctor appointments, wedding appointments, house appointments… It has been one busy little week! As usual, I’m linking up with my girls Biana & Meghan so let’s get right into the recap!
Last week’s cake tasting went well- definitely a nice afternoon pick-me-up. Ryan, Logan & I tried 5 of the most popular flavors at the shop and my favorites were probably the almond with hazelnut and vanilla with raspberry filling. Yum!! They have the cutest cake designs on display- how adorable is that purse cake?!? And the Naked palette… I can’t even!
Speaking of weddings, there is a new bride-to-be in the house!! I want to wish one of my besties Ashton a big congratulations on her engagement. We all met up on Friday for drinks at 5Church (where we celebrated my engagement as well). Looks like 2016 is going to be a busy year!
In other exciting news, my blogging productivity (and Internet use in general) is about to get much better. This post is coming to you from my new MacBook Air!! Somebody was a little sneak and told me I had a surprise coming on Friday, but I had no idea it would be a new computer. I have been
What else have Ryan & I been up to? Looking for a new place!! We’re not planning to move before the wedding, but if the perfect place becomes available we’ll definitely be open to it! So far we have looked at some new townhomes as well as some older condos uptown. I absolutely love where we live now- you can’t beat the location, the pool, or the gym (and the views), but the one thing that’s lacking is space. I think it’s so fun to look at places and figure out what you do and don’t like- the most important thing is that it needs to feel like home!
Today I start my 10th rotation in PA school (omg!) in general surgery. This can sometimes be a very mentally and physically demanding rotation, but I’m ready for the challenge. This is my last rotation in Raleigh before I move back to Charlotte for good (insert happy dance!). Hope y’all have a fabulous Monday!
Good luck on your new rotation – you've got this gurlie! And yay for vacation week filled with yummy cake tastings, beautiful new computers, and engagement celebrations 🙂
