Bachelorette Weekend in Savannah

I just returned from a bachelorette weekend in Savannah, celebrating Ms. Amy Rubin. It was my first bachelorette experience and a great one at that.

We started the weekend off with some fancy martinis on our first night out.

Shopped our stinkin feet off on Saturday.

Walked our stinkin shoes off that night. Never doing high heels again. Ever. Wait. Except for Amy's wedding. Then I'm done.

Goofed off talkin about our childhood celeb crushes and other girly things at our fancy dinner at Vic's.

Got off scot free smoking imaginary, long cigarettes with our imaginary glove-covered hands, drinkin moonshine at a "speakeasy," Mata Hari.

Sang our voices off at the Piano bar, watching a happy old man dancing on stage, two silly lawyer men showing off their white boy disco, and a group of jovial frat guys.

Took a load off in our saweet downtown apartment with an exposed brick wall and all.

Knocked our socks off with the best brunch ever at Huey's by the river... omelette stuffed with crab, shrimp, and scallops. I mean c'MON. Insane. Plus shrimp and grits and a bite of heaven AKA French toast with fried chicken covered in sriracha syrup.

And topped the weekend off with some park hopping on a ridiculously gorgeous day.

Hats off to this fantastic weekend, soaking up some much needed friend time and celebrating the bride to be!

Signing off with the most offs ever in one post!

2023 in Review (Plus 2020-2022, oops)

I am super bummed to realize that I haven't done a yearly review/highlights since 2019! That's FOUR YEARS ago! Pre covid, pre Oregon, pre master's degree, pre return to Florida, pre a million babies being born... So much has changed! It's always to nice to sit back and look at all that happens in a year too. It's now February. I started this post in December and was about to go and try to edit and make it all fancy with links to other posts and all kinds of cool things.... I'm sure there are some mistakes even with the years, things left out... but progress over perfection right? We're just going posting it in 3...2...1... Have fun! 2023 1. Bike bike biking everywhere. To the Grom for tasty lunch treats, Indian almost every week, grocery shopping, to the gym, just to bike around in the sun. It's been great! 2. All the babies came: Lowey-Balls, Krupkas, Bakers, neighbor friends x2, Sarkissians, and even more to come! 3. Finally got the best job wit

Home

Home is where the heart is . Home is wherever I'm with you . Home is where you are . Home is where I wanna be. Home is inside you . Now for the good news I postponed from the previous post for a combination of organization, suspense, and getting the chance to use another cliche... After my travels so far, my original thinking that I would be so likely to stay in Europe have changed a little. As I began to realize during my American road trip, and I think I mentioned in my posts about it, it's really important to me to stay close to my family, especially when I have one of my own. So I started thinking that maybe the best thing would be to go and live abroad and explore until wanting to settle down with a family and all. Now these thoughts have become even more clear. Being so far from home has made me realize just how much I love and miss my family, and how I don't want to miss much more of their lives. It's been interesting too

Opposite Ends (Atlantic to Pacific)

It's been over a year since being back in Florida. I started thinking of some of these comparisons shortly after returning, but now I have even more to add. And it's more comparing the Oregon Coast to this area, of course. If you're new here, we were in Pacific City, OR a little old town of ~1000 people. Now we're in Atlantic Beach, FL. 1. The amount of laundry. I'd say 3 shirts a day in the summer is typical for this Florida heat and humidity. Go for a morning walk, change shirts... Plant some flowers. Gotta change... Workout, definitely change. Shower, dog walk-- one more change before the night's done. 2. The bank and post office are open on Saturdays here! And restaurants don't close for the winter. 3. Florida neighborhood strolls: Seeing 10+ humans on every walk compared to often only 0. I love the community here! Lovely neighbors, gym rats, baristas. Even my parents! The Padres moved 40 minutes away vs 2.5! Yahoo! Pacific City was just so empty. On

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
