It’s been a little while since I did one of these and honestly it’s because things have been pretty boring around here the past couple of months, but I thought I’d take today’s giveaway post as an opportunity to share a little life update with y’all! I took this picture Tuesday night on my way home from work, the photo doesn’t do it any justice at all but it was truly one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve seen here in D.C.! I know I’m in the minority here, especially for all you parents, but I love the first few weeks after the time change. Trust me the whole getting home after dark every day gets old fast, but there’s something so cozy about those first few chilly, dark evenings. And the sunset views on the way home aren’t terrible, especially on nights like this one!
This week was a big week in D.C. with election night on Tuesday it seems like the whole city was abuzz. Typically in the weeks leading up to the election it gets very quiet until it’s over and then everyone seems to be running around trying to figure out what the changes will mean. The energy is pretty contagious so it’s been a fun week, but also a pretty exhausting one.
I started BBG for the 12,000th time and I am finishing up week four, let me tell you something, it is kicking. my. butt. But i’m also amazed at how much stronger I am after only 4 weeks! Yesterday I did 5 normal pushups, which might not seem like a huge deal to some of you fitness rockstars (seriously, y’all are my heroes because I just about died after those 5 pushups) but for me it was a huge point that made me realize how much progress I had already made! It was a nice reminder that hard work and consistency will pay off, even if you can’t walk or really move your arms for days at a time…
I’m very much looking forward to the long weekend, my parents are heading into town to celebrate my birthday a little early which should be a blast! We have a bunch of fun things planned including seeing Lake Street Dive tonight at the newest (not so new anymore) concert venue in D.C. – The Anthem! And then we’re hosting brunch at my apartment on Saturday, other than that I plan to just spend some quality time with them in some of my favorite spots around town, maybe try out a new restaurant or two!
Finally, I’m working on holiday content to share with y’all starting next week (honestly, how did that happen? Wasn’t it just Christmas like 6 weeks ago?) and I’d love to hear what you want to see! I shared a poll over on Instagram but would love to know, who do you need help shopping for?
Do you have any fun plans for the long weekend?
