I cannot believe it is already June! How did that happen? I feel like I just got back to DC from Ecuador last week, it’s hard to imagine that was almost three months ago. May was a complete whirlwind, a lot of fun, but insanely busy and honestly I’m glad it’s over. I was looking at May in review myself earlier and thought it might make for a fun post, it’s a bit long so, sorry in advance but may was insane!
A lot happened last month, starting with an amazing trip with one of my best friends from CUA out in San Diego and ending with some really exciting changes to my life in DC!
I completed my move back to DC, well as complete as a move for me ever gets, I might not be living out of a suitcase anymore but I am definitely still couch surfing. Which is fine because, let’s be honest, I’m usually couch surfing anyways so it’s not anything! I am so happy to be back in DC but missing my San Diego family already, I’m so happy and fortunate to have people I love so much that I can visit any time (right, guys? I can still visit?)
I had a quick stop over in NYC to visit with friends and have an incredible “Motherless Mother’s Day brunch” with a bunch of great friends in the city who were all away from home for Mother’s Day. It was a ton of fun, and I always love spending a little bit of time in New York!
One of my favorite things about DC is that there is always something going on, whether it’s brunch, happy hour or dinner with friends or an event in the city, you’re rarely bored. And this month was no different, I tried some amazing new restaurants (more on one specific pizza place coming soon) and hit a couple really fun events. Including #newseumnights, which is basically when they keep the Newseum open after hours with a special exhibit. This one focused on the election and social media and it was so much fun! I may or may not have had a few more glasses of wine than I planned to and ended up with a yearly membership… oops.
I also got to spend some time in Boston celebrating my little sister’s graduation from college! I’m so incredibly proud of her accomplishments and being able to celebrate them all with her and her friends made for such a perfect weekend!
We threw in a Sox game while I was home, because, why not?
Wrapping up the month I hit an amazing Washingtonian event opening the Liaison Hotel rooftop pool with a few of my favorite DC bloggers and a friend from home. It was a blast and a perfect way to kick of Memorial Day Weekend, which was actually perfectly low key this year!
Overall it was a crazy busy and insanely fun month, the perfect way to jump back into being DC full-time! I’m looking forward to June, it’s going to be another crazy month with a trip to NYC, Firefly and possibly a quick trip to San Diego on top of adjusting to a new job (hopefully) but it should be great!
June Goals
1 // blogging: get back on a normal schedule with posting! I feel like a broken record but this is a huge priority for me. The last few months have been tough in more ways than one and I’ve not been motivated to do much of anything, but the tides seem to have changed so I’m excited to get back into a normal routine over here
2 // read more: this is a May goal that I’m carrying over, I love reading and always have, so I’m hoping to get back into the habit of reading more often. I read a few great books last month and am always on the lookout for new suggestions so send them my way!
3 // cook more: I’ve been saying this since I graduated 3 years ago and I’ve honestly gotten better at it, but I have got to stop eating out as much and utilize my kitchen more.
That was a long one so thanks for hanging in there! I’d love to hear what you have coming up this month!
