It's autumn...and I'm busy.

















Well I officially moved into my new apartment yesterday and spent my first night there.  It's so cute!  Yes, it is full to the ceilings with all of my stuff but it will look wonderful when it is finished and I cannot wait for it.  My kitties are adjusted, it took a little for Riley (the boy) because he's a sissy and his sister Nova went right for it.  It was fun to watch them check out the new scene.

The Job is keeping me busy as usual, they are traveling a lot these next few months which usually means not so crazy but with Christmas coming that means double the work.  And to add on top of that my co-worker is leaving us starting at the end of November and instead of hiring another assistant I am going to be taking on her responsibilities for the other half of my Job.  Soooo....that means a lot of work for me.  I'm so excited for it!  It's going to be completely nuts but I cannot even explain to you how pumped I am.  I'll keep you updated on how that progresses. 

With so many weddings and trips for myself this season I kind of feel like I'm being pulled into many directions, in a good way though.  Getting to go home two weekends ago, heading up to Ojai this last week/weekend and now leaving for Little Rock in two weeks is super exciting.  I may even throw in another trip home if I can swing it, hopefully for Thanksgiving if the prices drop on flights.  So fricken expensive!  I did find out though that I get a full 2.5 weeks off for Christmas, December 19 - January 4.  Yes!  I'll get to go to Minneapolis and Chicago hopefully in that time too to see good friends, cannot wait.

I hope you're all doing fabulously well, and know that I miss you and think of you daily.  Let me know how you're doing eh?  Can't wait to hear from you, lots of love, xoxo

Summer's over..oh wait it's LA, it's always summer :)

It's been over a month since I've last posted, sorry about that. This last month has been nuts! With the first round of friends visiting, then work getting crazy, then one of my bestest friends EVER visiting and now moving apartments...I've had my work cut out for me.

Having Meredith here was amazing. It was just like having my roomie back :). Plus I got a great new friend out of her, gotta love that! It was fun introducing, or re-introducing, her to the city. The last time she was here was when she was in high school..that doesn't count. She saw a much different LA than before. I hope she liked it!!

I am finally making a smart financial decision, haha, it could be the first time. Just kidding. Maybe. I am moving out of my ridiculously expensive apartment into an amazing, rather large studio (I think it actually is bigger than my one bedroom apt). For those Sex in the City fans, I have a "Carrie closet". HUGE, and wide open. Gotta love it! My new landlord is so nice and he's letting me slowly move in throughout the next two weeks and I don't even have to start paying rent until the 1st of October, yay! Now all I have to do is find someone to rent the apartment I'm currently in...keep your fingers crossed for that one.

So all in all life is going pretty well. I'm heading home to Madison this weekend for a wedding of a dear, dear friend of mine. We were roommates in Italy, aka we are going to have one big Italy reunion, the roomies are back in action! Cannot wait! And of course I can't wait to see my gorgeously handsome nephew, just can't get over him ;).

I hope life is moving as 'peacefully' and wonderfully for you as I am finding it to be. May your days be filled with utter joy and happiness, miss you all, xoxo

ps: I promise it won't be so long before the next one, I'll have more to report!
