Life Lately

Let’s just pretend it hasn’t been almost a year since I’ve posted on here and that in that last post, I said I’d be blogging often again. 2022 was full of travel, friend/family weddings, and busyness with work. Okay, you’re caught up.

Wrapping Up 2022

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort (Puerto Vallarta, MX)

We spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve in Mexico with Hugh’s family. It was the perfect amount of time to not get bored and just enjoy the sunshine at the pool bar. I had an incredible spa experience and bonded with Hugh’s fam and brothers’ girlfriends. What a way to end the year!

Diving into 2023

Work travel started back up on January 3rd! I jetted off to CES in Las Vegas. I’m really not a Vegas fan and this gigantic technology expo was a lot, but the trip was overall enjoyable.

One major change for me in January is we are starting to TTC (try to conceive) so I’m not drinking alcohol. It’s been quite the adjustment when going to nice restaurants and hanging out with friends. I never realized how much my social life revolved around drinking! But I know I’ll get used to it (mocktails anyone?).

Hugh and I visited some of our best friends in St. Louis last weekend. It was so great seeing everyone and exploring a mix of old college hang-outs and new places.

This weekend we’re celebrating Hugh’s birthday weekend with his youngest brother, Ryan, visiting. We had dinner at our special-occasion restaurant, Mabel Gray, for their tasting menu – it was as delicious and special as always!

How is the start of your 2023 going?

Do you have any resolutions or goals this year? How is your January starting off?

I’m not going to promise most regular posts, but I’m not giving up or shutting this blog down yet. We’ll see how this goes!
