my life
Greetings, friends! So much has happened since I last wrote. I interviewed for a new role that seemed perfect for me, got it, and quit my job. I’ve been working full-time in the office for the past few months which has been a transition.

My beloved turned 32 and we decided to take a trip to our favorite city! So I got to work deciding on what to pack for five days using my Stylebook app – which actually was recently updated?! – did all the pre-work like stopping by the cobbler, dry cleaner, etc, and then we hopped on a flight where I tried to watch Gladiator II (Spoiler alert: I did not finish it).

The timing of the universe is a funny thing. Sometimes you have a plan and then the plan falls entirely apart and then a better one comes together, a portal opens. My portal took me to the streets of Chicago, a place I was entirely unfamiliar with, but felt so familiar once I arrived. If you're looking for a portal check out some affordable vacation packages.

Another year around the sun. I got to spend my very special day of life with those I love the most under a full moon in the Big Apple.

But first, gf pizza. 
Not a trip to NYC without Carvel.
A rose in Bellerose
Springing!!!
Hektad after Banksy in Astoria
Full moon in Libra
Old, rare, and NEW
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand. Why don't we leave it at that?
Completely missed this room in MOMA and my cousin Nicole graciously guided me here to take it in. A very special moment.
We made it to LEVAIN!
Perhaps the best cookie I've eaten in my life and not a bad cup of coffee either.
You know how sometimes you have a plan and then the plan goes completely wrong? Well I'm pretty grateful for when the plan goes all wrong, because the universe brings you what you need. In my case that was 72 hours in the city that doesn't sleep with those I love the most in the world. Until next time, beautiful people.

This past April I went to NYC for the first time in a very long-time. I saw my family. I gained perspective. I laughed. I cried. Coming home to KC was a very clarifying time in my life. I decided that I wanted to spend more time in the city I love the most with those I love the most. That decision has been one of the best ones I have made in a long time. I spent seven days with my family in this beautiful city that has endured despite going through so much. I was so happy to be apart of it all. Here's a little recap of my time in the Big Apple.

These past couple weeks have been tumultuous, to say at the least. I hope wherever you are friends that you are staying well during this crazy time. I wanted to share a few things that are keeping me sane during this chaos.

Last spring I got an invitation in the mail from my best friend/sister to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I started bawling in my kitchen. This was the first time I have been asked to be someone's bridesmaid! Seeing someone I love so much get married to the love of her life is one of those moments that you feel so grateful and lucky to be apart of. My sister is the coolest person ever because she told her bridesmaids that we could pick out our own dresses because she wanted us to be able to wear them again. Her only guiding advice was that our dresses be around the shade of a blue orchid.
