Another month almost gone

Here we are almost to the end of October!  I cannot believe how fast this year is going (I feel like everyone says that every year).  Maybe the older we get the faster time goes...or maybe time just always goes by fast and we refuse to admit it :)  Either way..it has been nice being at home now.  Most of my things that needed to be unpacked are now unpacked.  I have some small things I need to try and find and will hopefully get that done this week.  Since my last post I have had another wedding, a concert, seen family from out of state, and even got my hair recolored :)  A quick recap:

The wedding this past weekend was absolutely beautiful.  It was in Center City Philadelphia and the whole family went to this one (first one in 3 years!)  The reception was at the Belleview and if you have never heard of it or been there...it is gorgeous.  There is a restaurant on the 19th floor called XIX (of course) and it overlooks the city.  Breathtaking views all around.  The bride and groom were so happy and she was absolutely gorgeous.

Last week my brother, his best friend, and I went to the Gungor concert at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park.  Seeing a good friend from college work as the guitar tech and even getting to meet some of the guys on tour working lights was just a great night.

I also got a chance to see my cousins who live in Pennsylvania with the whole family.  It was a surprise for me to go see them and it was nice to catch up.

October is just flying by and with 2 weddings done..I have 2 to go in November.  I feel November is going to be a quick month with a lot of traveling :)

It's been awhile

It's been a couple weeks since I last updated.  I'm moved back into my parents house, collecting unemployment, constantly looking for a music teaching job, and going to grad school.  I'm enjoying being home and helping around the house.  The best news is that my brother is home so I get to see him  all the time now.  It's nice to have him home.

My last day at my apartment was the "Newsies" broadway show my friend and I went to see.  It was a phenomenal musical and I can't stop listening to the soundtrack in my car.  It was high energy the whole time and it was a fun time to be in the city.

Youth group is going well and I'm enjoying meeting some of the new kids.  This is a big year since we have the big youth conference this upcoming summer.  We'll be traveling to St. Louis for a week long conference and have opportunities to serve the community.

I'm still trying to find a routine to get into and so far...there's not much of a routine.  I need to get back into running since the 5k is in 2 weeks.  My goal is to not stop running...I may need to stop once or twice, but if I can go most of it without stopping I'll be happy.  The weather has been cold and rainy the past few days and today is the first sunny day, so I think I'll be going for a run soon...if I get the motivation to go ha.

I went to my first of 4 weddings between October and November last weekend.  It was a beautiful wedding between two friends from college.  It was in Hershey at the Hershey Hotel which was absolutely beautiful and I miss the area...a little.  It's a little too rural for me right now, but I do miss my college friends a lot.  With all this time free at this point...I'm hoping to visit them soon.

Well, it's off to keep setting up my bedroom and continue unpacking (finally getting the cute fall clothes out and putting away the summer clothes).  It's taking longer than I had hoped, but life hasn't stopped and it just keeps speeding up between now and Christmas.  Guess I need to start making my Christmas list and my gift list for my friends.
