Bon Voyage

On my way to Alaska.

Wish this kid could come.

Diet Coke & Advertising

Some days I love my job. Some days I hate* my job. Some days I just feel 'meh' about my job. Today there is nothing but pure love. Want to know why? Because I realized that every agency I've worked at has...wait for it...an unlimited supply of free Diet Coke. Diet Coke makes the ad world go round**.

Hooray for round the clock creativity. Hooray for caffeine.

*Hate in the general sense. I love my job 99% of the time. But let's be honest, everyone has an occasional hard day no matter what their chosen profession is.
**And this is coming from the girl who maybe drinks 1 diet coke a month. But lemme tell you, it's a lifesaver on those random days where you really think you might fall asleep at 3pm.

North Beach, Chicago

I miss the Rocky Mountains every single day, but sometimes Chicago does a darn good job of trying to win me over. Like last night. Beautiful bike ride to North Beach to play beach volleyball and watch the sunset. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful night, there's just something about the sun setting over the water that gets me every time.

CHI >> DEN >> SLC

Just got back from the longest road trip of my life with this guy,

and couldn't have asked for better company.

Now all I want in life is to move back to these mountains.

June's Been a Big Month

First, I moved! Just me + a very lovely Uhaul made the trek between Detroit and Chicago. It was a stressful whirlwind to say the least. And please, everyone who is planning on moving anytime soon, take my advice and hire movers. They are worth every penny and make a world of difference.

As soon as I got to Chicago, I hopped on a plane to NYC for a week's worth of work training + way too much fun catching up with some of my favorite people around.

Cara, the best weekend hostess in NY. I love this girl.

Summerstage with the CWs.

One of the many Brooke & Chad adventures that week. Meeting Monty.

High Line Park with Kaisha, Chad, & Molly.

Note to self: I need a new camera that's not my phone so I can actually get some 'real' pictures during my trips. And I've said it a million times...I love New York. LOVE. But this time I was excited to head home. Chicago, you're giving NY a run for the money.

Spin Pin Genius

I have never been happier with a $6 Target purchase. These things are miracle workers, and just in time for the hot summer months!

Amen.

I could not agree with this more right now, especially after the past few weeks of packing for the move. Slimming things down a lot this time around.
