I love my friends…and FRIENDS. Thanks Anna for the amazing card, that put a smile on my face and made my whole day!!


The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.178

Happy Birthday to me. Twenty-seven, here I am!

The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.91

I had a fun day filled with friends, food, and celebration. In the morning/early afternoon I got to see Jenna's new(ish) apartment for the first time. It was fabulous and I love how well decorated everything was. It was so charming and cozy. Then she showed me where she worked, we got Starbucks, and met up with Lauren for lunch. Matzoh ball soup, a tuna melt, and knish from a near by bagel/deli place. Yum!

In the evening Brenden and I met Jeff W.'s friends when we met at hibachi to celebrate his birthday. It was entertaining and delicious. Sake bombs all around. After we headed to get drinks (well I just got a lot of dessert), hang out and converse. It was great.


The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.70

What a wonderfully relaxing and content day. So excited I got to see Laura on her last day back in the States from France. I'm so lucky to have a friend like her and I feel so honored that she spent her last day with me. We worked out -- I did a four mile run will she lifted the weights. We chatted about our lives. And, we watched Halloweentown with the kids I am nannying. I finished the evening with more flash-back tv -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 13 Nights of Halloween -- and enjoyed pizza making and sweet binging with Olivia.

I ran the Baltimore Half Marathon today, and it was awesome!! I met up with my friend Rachel and we ran the entire race together, which was great because we both pushed each other to do the best we could. It was so much fun being able to run with someone I knew and who ran pretty much the same speed as me, it made the run that much easier and better. I almost got a PR which I was stoked about considering my main goal, coming off an injury, was just running the entire race without flaring up the injury too much. But, I also passed all three tiers of my other goal, a time goal. I wanted to run the half marathon in under 2:30, if I was feeling good under 2:15, and if I was feeling great under 2:10. I finished 2:06:48! Way under my biggest goal, and I felt great as I was crossing the finish line.

I had fun being able to spend the afternoon in Annapolis with some friends. I was super excited to go paddleboarding for the first time, but unfortunately they were all rented for the day when we got there. Although I was a bit disappointed, I had an amazing time kayaking the waters, racing and just hanging during our time.


And, I was able to try standing on a paddleboard for two minutes as we were coming in. So excited and awesome! I can't wait to actually have time to get used to the board and go farther then the docks. We then enjoyed some ice cream and coffee downtown before heading home. It was great and I

Tonight I got to hang out with some of my bestests and oldest buds at DJ and Shanes brand new house! There house is so great and cute and I am so excited for them. We enjoyed a campfire in their new backyard made with the dozens of boxes they have piled up from moving. And of course we enjoyed some delicious s'mores made with the biggest marshmallow I have ever found.

Ummm, have I ever told you I have the most amazing family and friends. I had my graduation party today and it was better then I could have imagined: good food, good music, and amazing people. I can't believe all the people who came out to support and celebrate with me. It was amazing. Thank you everyone so so much, you have no idea how much you mean to me :D. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I can't wait to see you all again!

Another amazing cookie cake by the fabulous Lauren!

Some of my awesome, fellow University of Baltimoreans :) Congrats all!

The Pursuit Of Happiness - Entry #317

First of all, happy Father's Day.

Second, had a good time competing in a chill, local, small race, the Hammond Park Pool Aquathlon. I might some cool people and it was a great way to train/race and stay motivated without overdoing it. Getting first overall in the female 20-29 age group was a pretty big plus as well (even if there were less then a hands worth of people in each category).

All my goodies, wootwoot.

Third, enjoyed seeing my friend Anna who was visiting for the day, and shopping for cupcakes and shoes with my momma. Unfortunately I may have a shopping problem and am already debating buying a second pairing of running shoes to switch in and out with these new ones. Some one stop me, please…but don't be surprised when I don't listen in the end.

My new Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 31
Finally, some funny pictures of my first bike cleaning lesson yesterday with and from my friend Jeff. It is like I have a brand new bike again. So amazing, thanks dude, and thanks for the ridiculous pictures of me not knowing how to hold a leaf blower. Can't wait to clean my bike again if I ever decide to ride it and get it dirty now that it is all sparkly and shiny :).
