From Cupcakes to the Shooting Range…

...it was a busy week!

Based out of beautiful Washington D.C. this week I was busy with great appointments in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. It was an added bonus Mimi also joined me for a few big presentations and I got to spend the weekend in Salisbury with Ashley and Dave!

In DC Mimi’ and I got to take a break at Georgetown Cupcakes…where the show DC Cupcakes is filmed!

Yum!

Going out Saturday night only Dave would be able to pull this off…

The bar,  

Market Street

, had some amazing signs…

Always up for trying new things…Sunday morning I let Dave and Ashley take me out shooting for the first time…Dave gave great safety lessons with the 22…

He was also a brave man showing me how to use the 9 Mil…

Pleased to report everyone and thing ended the day safe and sound!

I wonder what next week has in store!

Happily Ever After Begins!!!

This past week I gathered with my 11 rocks and handfuls of some of my favorite Delta Gamma’s in Louisiana to celebrate Emily and Chris starting their married life together!

I actually didn’t have my camera with me this weekend…so I am borrowing pictures from Liz, Ashley, and Chrissie…this entry will be the first installment of pictures…more will follow shortly!

The fun started off with a night out in New Orleans…

Taking in the local flavor on

Bourbon Street

which is geared up for Mardi Gras…

Next up we moved to Covington to kick off the wedding activities and join in rehearsal dinner fun…

Then it was off to the church in Franklinton!

Sara and I had the honor of reading “Love” by Ray Croft for the ceremony

Mr. and Mrs. Hester…could not be happier for you two!  

Let the festivities begin!

Rocks lovin’ the funfetti cake!

What’s going on over there?!?!

Don’t Stop Believing!

And that’s a wrap on the evening!

An incrediable weekend, with incrediable women, celebrating an incrediable couple! Look forward to sharing more pictures soon!

For now...I'm off to Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia for a productive week of work!

Have a great week!

Familiar Faces & Places

What a week!

In San Francisco, Carmel/Monterey, and Pebble this week with lots of familiar faces and places!

Mimi was in the office for her monthly forecast meetings and we got to sneak in an early birthday surprise party for her…

Also got to catch up with Lauren and Natasha for a girl’s road trip down to Pebble Beach for the AT &T Pro Am…

Along with so many familiar faces…went to some of my favorite places…

Coffee in Monterey…

Mom’s House…

What better way than to start the day with a walk on Carmel Beach?!

And filling up with great grub at Carmel Belle…

Last but not least…Picture of the Week…the Carmel Taxi…

Until next week…stay tuned for some wedding fun!

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!!

My first blog entry…and how fitting I created this blog and doing my first post while at 35,000 feet utilizing GoGo In-flight Internet on a United Airlines Plane from JFK – NYC!

I have toyed with the idea of a blog for years, but either other priorities arose, or I was lacking inspiration or relevancy for it…but last week on a flight from Cleveland, OH to Philadelphia, PA it came to me! The last job I had where I traveled extensively was as a Delta Gamma Collegiate Development Consultant. My mom and others urged me to keep a journal to remember the experience; while I didn’t exactly follow their advice – I created a hybrid of the idea, a ‘photo journal’ – I took over 2,500 pictures to remember the extraordinary year in my life.

Now as I find myself with another amazing opportunity to see the country (well, the Northeast) and live on the go – it came to me…a photo based blog to share the neat places I go and awesome things I see. I have made the commitment to myself that I will post weekly – on Sundays. We’ll see how it goes…some weeks there may be dozens of pictures…others maybe just one! My hope is that I can entertain people, keep friends and family up to date with where I have been, share ideas for good places to check out if you are ever in a particular city, etc – I will have fun with it weekly and see where it develops from there…after all…life is one big adventure, and it’s all about the journey!

This entry is just what it sounds…Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!! I am on my way home from a productive, fun, and chilly 2 weeks on the road…in which I enjoyed Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

Till next week!
