Is This Real Life?

First of all, to my readers (there are probably only two of you, but hey, I'll take what I can get) - apologies for taking so so long to get this blog moving. I've been talking about doing it for quite a while, and it is WIERD to finally be sitting here typing my first post.

Summer is already rolling, and it crept up on me more quickly than I expected it to. I am immersed in coaching swim team, teaching private lessons, and today was my first day back as an Educator un summer camp at the Children's Museum of Richmond. All of those things are fun and I love every minute of doing them (well...maybe not EVERY minute...ha) but I miss college and living in Williamsburg everyday. Mostly, I miss some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being at home and spending time with my family and my boyfriend, but I wish more than anything that I could spend more time with the Fearsome Foursome and other WM friends. Luckily, I have gotten to spend time with them since moving home, but MORE is always better when it comes to them. :-)

Hopefully this won't be totally boring, but here is a quick recap of my time at home so far:

After returning to the great city of Richmond, VA, I spent a lot of quality time with the boyf and my parents:

While I made Brett angry by beating him at board games, my mom made PIE (is that not the most beautiful pie you have EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE??):

Also got to go the Greek Festival with my favorite ladies ever. What a great night...awesome Greek food, awesome Greek dancing, and awesome company:Aren't my friends beautiful?


Spanakopita (spankpita??), Greek green beans, dolmades, moussaka, and and unphotographed almond cookie (the BEST ever) for dessert!

Aside from these adventures, I've had the pleasure of traveling to Williamsburg once (which I hope to do MANY more times this summer to see my girl, Paige:), gone on a couple of rockin' lunch dates with Katie B, and have just in general been having a grand ol' time.

To finish up this obnoxiously long post - the purpose of this blog is multi-fold (if that's a word):

1. To keep up/keep in touch with my friends from school

2. To chronicle my experiences as a recent college graduate, from finding a job, to living at home with my parents again, to exploring the beautiful city that I live in

3. To document my ups and downs and everything in between in my quest to live a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating healthy foods, finding new and fun ways to get my exercise on, and just generally striving to be a happy, peaceful person.

Hope you enjoyed :-) Signing out!
