Sweet Home Chicago

Good morning everyone!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but life has been busy. Graduation Day and Moving Day finally came and went. Now I am in a new time zone with places to go and people to see. I am beyond excited for the new chapter. Andrew and I are ecstatic for the future, and our future together.

Here are some quick pictures of the new place. It's transforming quite nicely. After four years of paying an arm and a leg to live in old houses in DC, it is wonderful to pay a reasonable rent for a gorgeous apartment with new appliances and features! Thankfully Andrew's mom and aunt are helping us unpack, and we had fantastic friends assisting the move-in - seriously they are incredible. Our place is on the third floor without an elevator and to top it off the stairs are curved! It was a very hot and exhausting move!

First of all, our bedroom has a fireplace and a bay window!

Second, our room has French doors leading into the living area.
Finally, our kitchen is GORGEOUS!

We went to Target yesterday and are having a blast decorating! I will update as we progress, and the answer to your question is yes. Yes we will be entertaining often! Our house-warming party is absolutely happening sooner rather than later!

Graduation/Birthday!

So I'm just overwhelmed with love today. First of all, I am not weighing in today. There is no way. I have had too much fun celebrating and once my life calms down I will hit the Weight Watchers hard core. For now I'm enjoying life without counting points. Have I gained weight? Sure! Have I had a great time with friends and family? YES.

Second, it's my 26th Birthday! I love birthdays and plan to party hard tonight.

Third, I GRADUATED FROM GEORGETOWN TODAY WITH MY MASTERS!!!!!!!!

FOURTH, MY SISTER, BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND NIECE SURPRISED ME THIS MORNING!!!!! Best Birthday ever? I think so!!!!

Plus, so many people will help to celebrate this evening. It's going to be an amazing weekend and is perfect for kicking off my LAST WEEK IN DC!!!

Fifth, here's a similar outfit to what I wore today (pictures to come!) that I will post on Friday's Fancies as well. I wore the white dress for graduation and am wearing the one-shoulder this evening!!! Have a great day everyone!!!! :)
