The Last Two Months

In the last two months I:
  • Celebrated my 23rd birthday in Little Italy. 
  • Took Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. 
  • Went to the Yoga Journal Conference. 
  • "Graduated" from college at Yankee Stadium.  
  • My family visited and we had a lovely time.
  • Nate's family visited, the nice ones as least, and we celebrated his graduation. 
  • Cooked some ahhhmazing meals, I'm getting more and more domestic each day. 
  • Nate and I went to California for almost a week! 
  • My best friend Didi got married.  It was beautiful, she was beautiful.  I love her and wish her and her husband Kasey all the happiness in the world. 
  • Nate and I visited with Lisal and Scott and lived the life of the rich and famous (well, sort of) in Glendale and ate excellent mexican food. 
  • I bought Nate rainbows so he can become a true Californian 
  • My good friend Aaron and his partner puppy-sat Pumpkin while we were gone and fell in love with her so much they decided to get a Cavalier of their own.  I gave them Pumpkin's breeder's info and they are taking home Pumpkin's real little sister in the next few months!
  • Nate spent a few weeks as stay-at-home father to pumpkin while he looked for a job 
  • Nate found a job, nothing good, nothing permanent and left 
  • I looked for an apartment with my good friend Kathleen for a solid three weeks of stress and uncertainty 
  • We CROSS OUR FINGERS found a place the other day and are waiting to be approved 
  • It's been HOT, like dangerously hot. 
  • I took Pumpkin to work with me, everyone loved her
  • I got matched with my favorite and most adored teacher for the 300 hour teacher training which I start a month from yesterday 
  • I had more than a few breakdowns 
  • I realized the next few months are going to be rough but I'm going to hold on tight and keep chugging along. 
And here's all that in pictures:
