It is FINALLY here, Cabin Weekend-Summer Edition! I think I have been counting down for this weekend since we departed the cabin after the winter edition! I blogged about the winter edition here.
I'm working for a few hours this morning and then flying to my hometown early this afternoon and I can't.freaking.wait!
Tonight I will be having dinner with some high school friends and then Kal and I are headed to the cabin! Woo hoo!
This is the second time Cobes has had people up in the summer but last summer I didn't get to go because I was on vacation with my family. I have purchased some sweet items to wear (we kind of have themes when we are there)!
I am so looking forward to a weekend by the lake with good friends, good food (definitely not WW approved) and some good old Spotted Cow beer!
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
A blog on life, friendship and the Good Stuff!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...
I'm loving...
-that tomorrow I am Wisco bound and by dinner time I will have a cold one of these in my hand...my all.time.favorite.beer. I will also be getting to see some of my most favorite people, ever!
-Mumford & Son's CD. I play it constantly in my car and its ahmayyzing.
-One Republic "Waking Up" CD. I started by purchasing "Good Life" and then listened to more of the album and loved it. One Republic is a new favorite band of mine
-this quote, so so true and I always need to keep it in mind.

My Weekend.
Ah what a glorious weekend it has been!
It has consisted of hanging out, or otherwise known as studying with this book...
...I take the GMAT August 20th and that date is quickly approaching.
Hanging out by the pool.
Shopping.
Working out.
Dinner downtown.
Hanging out with friends.
and a whole lotta much needed R&R! In fact, I took a two hour nap and slept in until almost 11 today! It was great. Now I'm enjoying the remainder of my weekend and looking forward to a 3.5 day work week.

I'm baaaack.
Helloooo blog world! I am back from my trip to DC! I had a great week at training and learned a lot of new things. It is nice to be home though!
I did manage to work out while I was gone but the whole eating according to plan thing didn't go so well. I didn't do bad, but I didn't do great either...story of my life. fail.
Anyways, Brianna and I left for DC Monday night. We got in around 8 and went to eat at this restaurant called Oya, an Asian restaurant. It was delicious! I had the most amazing Riesling wine.
Tuesday was the first day of training. I got up and went to the gym at the hotel to work out before hand. I have never been one to get up before work to workout. I can’t seem to wake up and get out of bed any earlier than what I have to in order to be at work on time. So this was quite the accomplishment for me. It felt great to have my workout in early and know that I didn’t have to worry about fitting it in once training was over. That evening we had a reception to go to at the hotel and then we headed out for a little bit.
Wednesday morning Brianna and I woke up and went running outside. Again, it was a shock that I was able to get up before work and be functioning enough to burn some calories. I can’t tell you how great it felt! Plus the scenery wasn’t so bad either. Below are some of the things that we saw on our run.
The White House
The Lincoln Memorial (currently being worked on)
That evening we had dinner with our trade attorneys and called it a day. I had a chance to catch up with my friend Meagan from high school. We were supposed to meet up but dinner went late so we chatted on the phone instead. It’s was so great to catch up with an old friend. I have known her since I was 8 and I’m so happy we had the opportunity to do so. I will be making it a goal to stay in touch with her going forward!
Yesterday was our last day in DC and were up again before the day started (work wise) to run. I mean holy crap WHO AM I? We had an even better run than the day before and I took some more pictures of some of the monuments. I think that running around that scenery helped to motivate me. When our day was over we had a few hours to kill before our flight left so we did a little shopping. There was a Forever 21 and H&M by our hotel but I was kind of disappointed in what they had and didn’t end up getting much. Forever 21 can be a little overwhelming to me because I’m not one to like to dig through racks looking for clothes. After our shopping was done it was time to head to the airport.
World War 2 Memorial
Overall it was a great week in DC. I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home and spending some time at the pool.
Happy Friday! This time next week I will be sipping on a Spotted Cow Beer, my favorite...which I only get when in Wisco. You better believe I'm going to work out a lot and eat super healthy until then so I can really enjoy it!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...
I'm loving...
-my "Chicago" mug that I got from a Starbucks in the airport. I'm going to start collecting them from every city that I visit!
-FRUIT! If I could be a fruit I would be either pineapple or cantaloupe. Mmmm mmmm.
-this blog "Gina's Skinny Recipes". They are healthy living recipes and she gives you the Weight Watchers points as well. I've tried quite a few recipes and they are all deeelish.
-Blind Pilot. They played at the DMB Caravan and they were awesome. Check them out!
-that I'm going to see Miranda Lambert on Saturday! Last time I saw her she opened for Dierks Bently and now she's the headliner. I really think she and I would be great friends...just sayin'.
-goat cheese. I am lovin' some goat cheese. Especially on a salad, with blueberries and walnuts. (thanks Mer for getting me hooked). It is SO good!
-the city of Chicago. Last weekend was the third time I've been there this year. I visited in April, June and July and I love it. There are a milllllion things to do and it's just great.
