To say it's been awhile is an understatement...when you aren't in a very good place in your life the last thing you want to do is write about it. After taking some time to reflect I've realized I missed this space. Now, more than ever, I'm convinced that something really wonderful is in the works for M's future and I want to document this time in our lives. Here's to trying another crack at this crazy blogging thing...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you and your families have a wonderful weekend! We will be spending sometime with friends at the pool, grilling, watching last season of Homeland finally {thanks to a win by the husband against the cable company}, and just enjoying life. Cheers to the weekend! </div>

Hallelujah! It is Friday! Is anyone else thrilled it's the weekend? No big plans this weekend, except our Sunday LA family dinner we do once a month with about 20 of our friends from GA/people we've met out here. With friends starting families it is a great way for us to stay connected. So let's get this Friday blog party started and talk about the 5 things that rocked my world this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
{1}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Tone It Up Girls...yes, I'm late to the party. M actually introduced me to them years ago, but I didn't take notice until now. He works in the fitness video industry so he's always looking for new talent. Well, my sister is ripped and she credits her toned arms and legs to at home workout videos. This week I gave up a day running for weights and I turned to these girls. Thanks ladies!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
{2}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WhatsApp being bought by FB for $16B! My girlfriends and I are addicted to this app. Most days I don't know what I would do without it. It's gross to be so dependent on technology sometimes, coming from the girl whose phone it attached to her hand 24/7. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
{3}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My new favorite Soul instructor, <a href="http://kymperfetto.com/">Kym</a>. Y'all if you ever visit LA you have to visit Soul Cycle for a class. She is ripped, plays amazing music, and I pretty much want to be as cool as her one day.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
{4}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
T0MS is launching <a href="http://www.toms.com/eyeglass-frames/l">optical glasses</a>. They are kind of fabulous and uber stylish. Even though I don't wear glasses I am temped to get a pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
{5}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Birthday to my favorite (and only) sister in law, Allie! She turns the big 29 tomorrow. I wish we could be there to celebrate with you. Last year of your 20's sis...enjoy it!!!! xo<br />

Hello-long time, no type. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The past few months have been a whirlwind in good and bad
ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It feels like life is finally
starting to get back on track and I’m excited about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t do well with change internally, but
externally I always have a smile on my face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don’t want to be looked at in a negative light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>M’s finally got his happy wife back and let
me tell you, the one who moved in for a few months was one big bitch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking back now I’ve realized I
needed to go though those changes to get to where I am now-you can't be happy all-the-time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m embracing my new future, new bosses, new
friends, new challenges with an open heart. <o:p></o:p></div>

Sometimes life is full of surprises, today is one of those days. My boss resigned and took the CEO position at Lululemon (announced today). As sad as I am to see him go, I am so excited for his new opportunity. Seriously it's a dream job (after Louis Vuitton, Burton & T0MS, of course) and he is the perfect fit according to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/lululemon-ceo-laurent-potdevins-career-2013-12">Business Insider</a>. It also doesn't hurt to have a friend who works for your favorite workout brand. Congrats LP!! You were a dream to work for and hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together again someday soon. As for me, I am staying at T0MS supporting the COO. Life is good here in Southern California. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert changed my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It came out when I was getting ready to move
to LA and I was scared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I quit my job, moved home and was waiting tables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like I had the entire world at my
fingertips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I was reading I found
myself highlighting passage after passage; I just couldn’t get enough, it became my anthem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I’ve only read it once and I despise
the movie {not a Julia Roberts fan}, this book will forever be apart of shaping
my early 20’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I absolutely 100% love my job! Each and everyday I wake up and can't wait to see what the world has in store for me. When I took the Birkman test I scored very high with creative jobs as well as social service industries, so obviously T0MS is the perfect place for me. We create amazing products that give back worldwide. Yes, working for the President as his assistant does have some struggles, but they positives far out weigh the negatives. I basically get to come to work each day and work with like minded people who want to do more for humankind. Also, our office is kind of amazing.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This one is hard because who really likes talking about their failures in life. One of my biggest regrets is how I treated my friends when M and I first started dating. He very quickly became my world. All I wanted to do was spend time with him and I left my friends on the way side. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is one friendship that sticks out in my mind particularly. Courtney and I met in pre-school and were instantly inseparable. We would spend the night at each others house, go on vacations together when we got older, our lives were very intertwined even though we didn't go to the same school. Some of my favorite childhood memories are with her. When M and I started dating Court was now not a priority. Over the next few years we drifted in and out of each other's lives and ultimately our friendship fizzled out shortly after college. We are still friends on Facebook, but it's a really pathetic comparison when you are talking about someone who you've known since you were 3 years old. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I could go back in time I would have put the energy into our friendship. We live across the country from one another, but there is no reason why we can't still be in each other's lives. </div>

I've never thought of myself as one with many talents so I almost thought about skipping today, but why not challenge yourself to think outside the box. One thing that I'm very proud of is that I'm very good with people. I guess you could call this a talent?! I recently took a personality test called the <a href="http://www.birkman.com/">Birkman</a> and I scored in the 99th percentile relating to people in groups and 62nd percentile when relating to individuals. My Executive Mentor said this means that I <i>really, really, really</i> like people. I laughed out loud when he told me this because one of my favorite memories is waiting tables {yes, I know a lot of people hate it}, I absolutely loved it. I loved getting to know my customers, it made me really happy. </div>

November is one of my favorite months of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My darling husband was born, Thanksgiving,
changing of the seasons, really there is nothing not to like about the month of
November.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came across a new blog this
morning, <a href="http://www.thechasinghappyblog.com/">Chasing Happy</a>, and loved her link-up. <o:p></o:p></div>

<u>An Experience</u><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The one experience that I will forever being internally
grateful for is moving from Atlanta to Los Angeles 5 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In high school when M told me he wanted to
purse a career in Hollywood I knew it would mean leaving the only place I’ve
ever lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was so passionate about
his dream and I knew he was “the one” that I could never have said no.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t want to be the girl who stood in the
way of his dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 10 years of
knowing we packed up my car two days after getting married and headed west to
our new life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Our first year was hard, really, really hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess you could say the first 6 months I
basically cried all the time and wanted to move home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We weren’t living the glamorous life I
thought LA would offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As time passed I
became more comfortable living here and making it our home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We have amazing friends here and a job that I love! At this time in my life I can't imagine living anywhere else.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I have never been more grateful for my own car. M's car has been in the shop for the last 4 days, so we have been carpooling. Knowing that you are stuck at work until he's ready to go has made me truly appreciate my freedom. We are also a few thousand dollars lighter, but I'm not going to think about that.</div>

Have you heard of the app <a href="http://appadvice.com/appnn/2013/07/heads-up-ios-game-from-ellen-degeneres-and-clear-co-developer-goes-universal">Heads Up?</a> Well if not, download it not, you also might have seen it on The Ellen Show.

Christmas. M and I were going to go to London for the holidays and visit his sister and brother-in-law, but after pricing it out and tracking flights for over a month we decided against it. Damn the exchange rate. After lots and lots of talking we decided to stay in LA. I've made Christmas Eve dinner reservations at Mastro's, scouring Pinterest for Christmas dinner ideas and am even thinking about going to Mammoth for a few days. It might not be what we are used to, but we will make it the perfect Christmas for us.</div>

Big weekend plans ahead folks. On my agenda is to clean, clean some more and organize. I am so over the clutter in my life. I can't wait to re-organize our apartment and purge. These problems occur when you work for apparel companies. Too much stuff! </div>

Our office is doing a October water challenge-drinking a gallon a day. Have you ever tried this? It is so much water! After the first day I quickly realized this was not going to happen for a month so my new goal is 75 ounces, which is still a lot of water! </div>

I love the Emmys mainly because I am a TV whore. Breaking Bad, Homeland, Girls, Modern Family and Scandal are just a couple of my favorites at the moment. I love when Hollywood gets dressed up for a fancy night out to celebrate their craft. Personally, I thought the fashion was a little underwhelming, but there were a couple gems in the mix.</div>

2. Barry's Bootcamp aka The Kardashian Workout. Holy hell, have you ever taken one of these classes? My co-worker talked me into attending with him and this has quickly become one of my favorite ways to blast calories on Friday mornings. This class makes you believe you are stronger than you think you are and run faster than you think you can. You can do anything for 30 seconds right?!</div>

3. Kerry Washington, could you be any more beautiful? Also, can I steal your wardrobe from Scandal. White is my favorite color to wear after all. Yes, I'm late to the party, but that Lulu jacket you're wearing at the end of season 2 is to die for. It's already on my Christmas list.</div>

4. Soul Cycle-Brentwood's 1 year anniversary! A short 10 months ago I stepped into this studio wearing ratty workout clothes for a team ride I planned for my co-workers. In that 45 minutes my world changed. This weekend they are celebrating their anniversary with team rides, Pressed Juice, and a photobooth. Do I sound LA enough for you?! My best girlfriend and I are taking a team ride with two of our favorite instructors. We can't wait!</div>

5. iOS7. Wednesday night M and I both uploaded our phones and are obsessed. My favorite new feature? The ombre text messages. Also, when Apple first announced Apple Radio I swore I would not use it. Pandora only for this girl, but I gave it a shot and love it. They are very sneaky with allowing you to purchase the song right there. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was Monday of last week. I didn't feel like working out. It was my first day at my new position. I just wanted to go home, but I didn't. I went running and it was my best run to date. In less than 2 weeks I run my first 10K. When I started training, running 6 miles was tough, but all my Soul Cycle/Barry's Bootcamp/TRX/Circuit Training classes have helped me shave time of each mile and I've become more confident each day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon. 13.1 miles. If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that this would be what I'm crossing off my bucket list I would have laughed in your face. I guess there is no time like the present. Who knows, maybe next year is a marathon. I eventually want to cross that off the list too. </div>

This past weekend I had the pleasure of celebrating two of my closest friends birthdays. Every year they celebrate together, so it pretty much guarantees an eventful night. Champagne and beer were flowing and we even got a private show to MJ's Smooth Criminal by the birthday boy. Honestly it wouldn't have been a birthday if he didn't do it. We like tradition. Overall we had a great night, but I'm glad their birthday is only once per year. Too much champs :)</div>

There are pivotal moments in your life when you just need to
take a step back and reflect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me
this is one of those moments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Marco
and I moved to LA 5 years ago it was during the recession/writers strike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To say jobs were few and far between was an
understatement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I signed up with a temp
agency in Burbank and was assigned the most random jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My breaking point was working at a scrap
metal company answering phones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
remember at lunch going to my car and crying to my mom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to go home, but knew how much M and
I needed the $40 I would make that afternoon for groceries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about 6 months of working like this I
finally got a call to temp at Guess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course I jumped at the chance and 4 years later I was taking another leap of
faith to come to T0MS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

It’s no secret I am head over heels in love with my
sister-in-law, Allie. We’ve been best
friends since we were 15 and love/fight like sisters. For those of you wondering, M & I started
dating before Allie and I became besties.
She is seriously the best. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In 4
days she, her cute husband and pup Willow are moving to London. He works for a large bank and has been transferred
across the pond for the next 6 to 12 months.
While he’s at work, she is going to be exploring her favorite city and
blogging about it. You can check her
blog out <a href="http://www.heartroams.com/blog.html">here</a> and live vicariously through her. </div>

Two weeks ago was my 29<sup>th</sup> birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a weird birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the Monday after a long holiday
weekend, my sister was in town the week before, I had just gotten back from my
Giving Trip the week before that and vacation two weeks before that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was spent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All I wanted to was leave work a little early, grab some takeout and
watch the Bachelorette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did just that
and it was perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As I’m entering my 30’s my mom and I were reflecting on my
20’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My 20’s have been very, very good
to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I married the love of my life,
moved to LA and started my career here, worked my way up the corporate ladder for a Fortune 500
company, took a chance on my dream company, have made some amazing friends and
am truly happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My 30’s will be different,
the focus will be more on M’s career, starting a family and finding balance
with it all. <o:p></o:p></div>
