Mid July Recap

If you started reading this and thought to yourself Wow I can't wait to read more and you've been checking every day for a new post I am sure you've been very disappointed. Well, it's not because I haven't been writing. Actually, I got the opportunity to write some blogs for the Quicken Loans website, which has be awesome. Want to know what's even better? I get to write about things that I love like life, food and my wedding. If you want to check out what i've been writing there you can go here.

But, that is not the only exciting thing i've been up to...

Last week, Morgan and I went to a One Reverse Mortgage commercial shoot. After she skillfully navigated me to the proper location we got to a charming little house with lots of video equipment in the yard. And wait, is that Henry Winkler sleeping on the porch? Yes. We waited for a while, and then we watched them shoot the final part of the commercials. It was pretty sweet. We talked with the director for a while, and he told us about his upcoming film Jinn.  Morgan tried to land the role of an extra.

On Thursday morning I went to a lecture from New York Times Best Seller Josh Linkner.  He talked about being creative, especially when it relates to business. It was a very unique experience. The table centerpieces were a large display of crayons that we could use to draw on the paper tablecloth. Josh gave a ton of great tips and I left the lecture feeling challenged in my creativity.


Growing up has not just been happening at my internship. My wedding is in less than eight weeks! I've had bridal showers the past two weekends, which have been perfect. This friday will mark one year since the wonderful Elliott Laughlin proposed to me. It has been a crazy busy year since then, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We get the keys to our new apartment today! Elliott will move in within the next week or two and then I will move in after the wedding. We are planning to paint a little bit... so we will see how that goes tonight!

Elliott also told me I need to stop drinking Red Bull. He said that the current Costco case of we currently have is the last. It should last me about a week or two more :)  We'll see how it goes after that. Until then, cheers.

She would trade her first born child for a pair of nice shoes :)
