Jobs

Started both jobs today. Assistant Director at Kinawa Middle school and J. Crew. Can't help but just dream that J.Crew is my closet and those munchkins wore me out. Goodnight.

Chi-town

Since Chicago is only 3 hours away we decided to head down for the weekend!

We drove down on Friday and after we checked into our hotel we headed downtown and did the architectural river tour. 

I don't know how much Mike enjoyed it but I think I enjoyed it enough for the both of us.

Then we started walking down magnificent mile. 

After about 20 minutes of being to depressed that we are to broke to by anything we left and headed to Navy Pier.

For dinner we had Chicago deep dish Pizza then we went to the top of the John Hancock Building. Something I learned on this trip is that our children are definitely going to be scared of heights.

The next day we went we headed to the Buckingham Fountain, the bean and then we proceeded to go see Wrigley Field, the Bears stadium and the Bulls stadium.

I think I made up for making Mike go on the architectural river tour. 

It was such a fun 24 hours and made me miss living in  big clean city aka London!

Can't wait till we head back!

Crazy. Stupid. Love.

I know I am a little late on this one. But we saw Crazy. Stupid. Love last night. Mike and I were laughing so hard at parts. The other audience go-ers may or may not have laughed at our laughs at one point. Anyways.. its cute.

ps. one day I will update on where we have been all summer long. Until then.

Dear California,

Oh how I miss you. Don't get me wrong. For the most part I am loving Michigan. Except for these little things. I have 15 mosquito bites, 4 on my face which makes for a pretty picture. And I have killed 20 so far in our house. That is the last time that I am leaving the balcony door open.... Good luck sleeping soundly tonight

P.S. the last one I killed, its nose was as big as in the picture.. but real. Ohhh how I will never get used to this.

Moving time

We are busy busy moving into our new place! Why is it that every time we move it seems to take longer to unpack? More to come soon!

Love me some summer

 via

I LOVE summer.
I love the warm weather.

I love that it stays light out for so long.

I love Summer reading by the beach. Just finished These Is My Words. A little hard to get into but then your hooked!

I love that my sun turns my skin brown.

I love traveling. I feel like Michael and I have been non- stop traveling since May. It is the best!

I love Summer Weddings. 

I love summer movies. Believe it or not, we have gone to the movie theater every. single. week. this summer. Obsessive? Yes. I think we should just own a movie theater one day.

I love the fact that DC tastes even better and more refreshing in the summer.

Sonic happy hour =<3

I Love. Love. the beach. Michael and I are always talking about where we want to live when we grow up. As most of you know we are clueless. But I think after traveling across the country this summer the beach just feels like home to us. 

Beach days are by far the best days.

I love summer foods. Fresh fruit. Grilled food. yumm.

Frozen yogurt on a hot summer day. Currently loving watermelon with mochi from 32 degrees at the Destin Outlets.

I love summer sales.

I am also loving, maxi skirts/dresses, denim, pearls, high buns almost everyday, Moroccan Oil (Try the curling mousse. Does wonders), and the color coral.

It is the best time of the year. Hands. Down. Obv.

Offically done.

With the thousand and one things I should be catching up on 

I am instead going to write about the thousand and one things I am looking forward to.

Okay not that many

but we do have a few up exciting weeks ahead. 

It is crazy how we have been planning all of these trips and now it is all happening.

Life just seems to be moving faster and faster

Is that just me?

First and foremost I am done with school! 

I know I should be excited, but it hasn't really set in.

Real life, I don't know if I am ready for you yet.

Oh well, ready or not here I come!

I am in the process of packing for our 2.5 week trip

And boy it is going to be a busy one.

Yes, I know that you were all desperatly waiting for it to come out. 

Almost as much as you were waiting to here about William & Kate's CA trip.

You can call me Kourt or Courtney. 

I am just that fabulous.
