Life Update

When I go months without posting, I feel overwhelmed because so much has happened. Let's see...since November I lost weight, went home for the holidays twice (made a pitstop in Charlotte), had a Fab5! sleepover, Blossom turned 2, went back home for a speeding ticket, gained weight lol, and submitted to 3 conferences and a journal. I've learned over the past few years that grad school is very stressful (nothing new), but I think I've found a great solution to the pressure! I need at least one vacation a month, and since December I've done a great job living up to this. I spent new year's in DC, went to the Dominican Republic in January, and I'm headed to CIAA in Charlotte this weekend. Ironically for all of these trips I have been with the same person...my LS/Front Door/best friend and so much more...Shan R. We've truly been #LIVIN', and she's done a great job making sure I keep a balance between school and play {and is also the reason why I'm broke lol...j/k}. Next month I'll be going to Princeton, NJ and Nashville, TN for academic related conferences; however, I'll be sure to break away and enjoy the city when I'm away.

Fab5!
