lately.

i've been quite the slacker lately in just about every aspect of life. hey, it happens to the best of us. so while i've been ignoring my running schedule, piles of laundry, blog, dirty house, and empty fridge, here's what i've been up to.

thursday night out with the boys at all american pub - never ends well. my sweet friend brett was in town and we partied like we used to when i first moved to atlanta. we're a mess. friday night dinner at mac's for steven's birthday - i'm in a yang sibling sandwich! saturday spent with ammie & hunter, who were in town for the weekend. saturday night dinner at ed's tavern followed by an evening at selwyn.

i watched both seasons of scandal - what an addictive/great show. i am obsessed with all things government related - throw in a heart wrenching affair & i'm hooked. i also want to make out with president fitzgerald grant.

i also watched the first season of orange is the new black - the newest netflix series. it's based on the true story of a woman named piper who has to serve 15 months in prison for a non-violent crime she committed 10 years prior. it's hilarious, heart breaking, and full of drama. netflix released the entire first season at once - so you can get sucked in just like i did!

 

i've also been listening to this song on repeat: poison & wine by the civil wars. holy beautiful.

needless to say: i'm done with tv shows for awhile. what have y'all been up to while i've been a waste of life?

dear may, you rocked.

today we say goodbye to one of the best months of the year! it has been an awesome month for me. there have been lots of fun nights, amazing parties, yummy recipes, concerts, a trip to Michigan, and even my first 10k.

last night we went to selwyn in typical thursday fashion. court & i showed up after dinner at 5 church and immediately ran into two of our awesome guy friends that we typically see there on thursdays. my big sis from my sorority had texted me the day before that she was going to be in charlotte so i invited her to join at selwyn. my college roomie had also called earlier that day to say she was going to be in town, so meggie & britt came too. we ran into the girls that live on the other side of our duplex (that we love), and later in the night, derrick, kelly & steven all showed up.

i drove home last night with the biggest smile on my face. i love the randomness that life brings me on a daily basis. i got to spend last night unexpectedly surrounded by so many people i love from so many different parts of my life. college friends, my siblings/bffs, new friends, childhood friends. reasons like last night are why i never say no to a drink with a friend or a night out, because you never know where it may take you. i lose out on a few hours of sleep every week, but i wouldn't have it any other way. so thank you, may, for being one of the best months of my life. and cheers to summer & all the fun we're going have the next few months!
