Hi blog friends! It’s certainly been awhile. April has been
a busy month…lots of weekend trips, work events, birthdays, celebrations and
holidays. I’ve been very glad to share many of these moments with friends and
family, so I’ll give you a quick update of what I’ve been doing this month:
The first weekend in April, we celebrated my little cousin’s
21st birthday in Philadelphia. She’s the last of my cousins to turn
21, so we were so happy to share such an exciting day with her. The next day
was Easter Sunday, and it was so nice to celebrate at church with my family.
THEN, after Easter lunch, my cousin’s boyfriend of ten years proposed in front
of the whole family! Such a beautiful and joyous occasion, and how perfect to
begin the next phase of their lives on Easter. I’m sure we have many months of
planning, shopping and celebrating ahead of us!
The next weekend, I celebrated my 25th birthday
with M in Pittsburgh. Actually, I spent almost seven days in Pittsburgh due to
a work conference the following week, so I was so glad to spend so much time
with M and see so many friends. I’m a little bit wary of my birthday, so I
think I was a little grouchy on my actual birthday, but the rest of the weekend
was perfect and super fun.
This past weekend I visited one of my college friends in
Philadelphia. Even though I’m from Pittsburgh, I’ve been so pleasantly
surprised with how much fun the city of Philly is. So many good restaurants and
cute streets…and it was great to catch up with an old friend. I also got to see
my newly engaged cousins, and we spent at least three hours on Sunday afternoon
planning the perfect wedding bouquet. I think her fiancé was glad I was there. J
This week I’m catching up at work and heading to Pittsburgh
this weekend to help M move. I’ve never spent so much time in my car, but it’s
certainly worth it to spend quality time with family and friends. I’m hoping
May is a little calmer, and I’m really looking forward to life hopefully
slowing down this summer. M and I booked a relaxing, romantic vacation, so
August sure can’t come soon enough.
To more frequent updates,
Lia
