New Year... New Town...

As I said “Goodbye to 2010!” and “Hello to 2011!”, I took a few minutes to look back and reflect on all of the wonderful things I’ve done, the amazing places I’ve been, and the incredible people I spent all the time with.  In 2010, I married the love of my life, moved into “our first place” with my new husband and adorable puppies, spent an amazing honeymoon on Hilton Head Island, finished my second year of pharmacy school and started my third, visited the beautiful city of Chicago for the very first time, and spent many hours with many incredible people.

Last year was absolutely amazing to me, but I know that 2011 is sure to be even more amazing.  To begin another wonderful year, Kyle and I have decided to make a BIG change.  On January 22, we are moving to LOUISVILLE!!!  We had been planning to move in May after I finished my last semester of classes, but we found a perfect townhouse and decided that we are ready to move now!  Having lived in Louisville for the first 18 years of my life, I knew that I’d always go back.  I’m in love with the city and can’t wait for Kyle and I to build our life there.


Louisville is an amazing place with so much to offer and so much to do.  Kyle and I have made lots of plans for how we will spend our time there.  Among them are: running the Kentucky Derby Mini-Marathon in April; visiting the Louisville Zoo, the Slugger Museum, and the Science Center; attending various Derby events like Thunder Over Louisville and the Derby Parade; exploring the many parks throughout the city with our puppies; enjoying long walks down Bardstown Road to taste test the various restaurants along the popular street; and tailgating for UL football games, of course!

We’ve slowly started packing up our house, and I do have to admit that it’s somewhat bittersweet.  Lexington has been wonderful to me and we have really enjoyed our first place.  We will definitely miss Lexington and all it’s charms, and will be sure to visit often.

Louisville should prepare itself though… The Newmans are taking over in 18 days!

Until next time…

Easy-Peasy Teacher Appreciation Gifts

My little bits just finished up her first year of preschool (PS1) last week, and just started her second year (PS2) this week.  Her first year at her school was nothing short of amazing, and I'm so happy with our decision to start her in the program last August.  Her teachers for PS1 were the best, so I wanted to give them a little something to show our appreciation and gratitude for all of the love, time, and patience they poured into our girl over the past 12 months.  I wanted to keep it simple, and give them something that they could appreciate and actually use, and eventually decided on a small succulent arrangement and a Starbucks gift card.  Because who isn't obsessed with succulents and coffee  right now always?!? I put the succulent arrangements together myself, and I love the way they turned out!  I picked up the white planters at Hobby Lobby for around $5 each.  The succulents came from Home Depot (their selection was HUGE) and ranged in...

You can make it into muffins for a quick grab-n-go option!  Just when I think this plan can’t get any better, I come across treats like this one that change the game!  And t hat’s what I LOVE about most about my business and these fit groups--Not only can I  count on my ladies for support and encouragement, but it offers us a place to swap healthy recipes and share tips and tricks to stay on track.  Basically, what I'm trying to sa...

My Two and a Half Year Blogging Hiatus

Hey there!  It's been a while since my last post--two and a half years, but who's counting?  As it often does, life got a little crazy, and blogging got pushed to the back burner.  But I've recently had an itch to start writing again. So here I am. I've missed it. And a lot has changed in our lives since I last wrote.  So let me bring you up to speed... I got a promotion at work, and am now the pharmacy manager of a local retail pharmacy. My husband is working to make his dream of being a full-time photographer a reality.  He's insanely talented, and the fact that he's completely self-taught amazes me! You can check out some of his work HERE . I've taken up photography as well, under my hunky husband's guidance, and I now photograph weddings alongside him.   Our beautiful mess of a daughter is THREE years old (where did that time go???).  She is incredible, and smart, and funny, and her zest for life is inspiring. We added a fur-bab...
