Michelle

This past weekend my MBA friend Michelle came to visit.  The weather couldn't have been any better for her trip down from Northern California.  We enjoyed relaxing on the beach and watching a beautiful sunset on Sunday evening.  Have I mentioned how much I love living here?

Mini vacation

 It's around this time of year that work gets crazy busy from all of the recruiting for Mother's Day, and I just need mini breaks from reality.  This weekend I went up to Orange County to visit my friend Marie.  It was super fun, we went on a crazy long walk at Crystal Cove (and got a little lost on the way back), ate some awesome Mexican food on Balboa Island and made a few new friends.  It was awesome to just get away for a little bit and enjoy the sights of one of my favorite past time TV shows, the O.C.

Merry Christmas

Since I work at a company that's very seasonal, Christmas, Valentine's and Mother's Day are big ones for us. I decided it would be best to NOT ask for any extra time off. So... my parents decided to come see me for the holiday. My mom was glad since it had been since college that she got to spend the holidays with her mom in her home town. It has been super fun to have them here. On my last day of work my boss let me leave early, and I actually got out before the sun went down, I was super stoked. We went down to the beach where I went on an awesome run on the beach and then we enjoyed one of the prettiest sunsets I've ever seen.
