Happy Friday from sunny Florida!
As I mentioned yesterday, I am in Sarasota for my sorority little’s wedding, and could not be more thrilled to be a part of her special day.
This year, I am seemingly more in the holiday spirit than last. We buried my Nana at Arlington National Cemetery two days before Christmas Eve, and I think that was more emotionally draining than I realized. This year everything seems lighter, and of course with a wedding of a dear friend, and a few more on the horizon, it only adds to the fun.
I am one of the few lucky ones who will be at work until the 23rd, but then I have 10 days of uninterrupted freedom! I’ll be celebrating Christmas Eve with at my Aunt’s house, sneaking in some family time in North Carolina, and checking off some items that have been on my to-do list for months—like cleaning out my computer!
I hope you all enjoy and savor the last weekend before Christmas. Can’t wait to hear what you’re up to. xx

Have a great time at the wedding – you’re not too far from me! I’ll be working until the 23rd too and then just a few days off until back again. Enjoy your 10 day break!
I hadn’t heard about the explanation for the Olsen twins not returning to Fuller House! So interesting. I can’t wait to watch it, and am also waiting for a few more episodes of Serial to come out before getting started so that I can binge through a few 🙂
