Loooong time no see!

I know I’ve been M.I.A. for over a week, so I have no idea where to even begin. The past week has been filled with summer fun – the 4th spent at the beach, lots of time in the sun, some awesome workouts, ahhhmazing eats, and tons of quality time with family and friends. Ain’t nothin’ better.

I would love to recap all my fun days but I’m getting ice cream with some friends in 20 minutes, and I would need a good two hours to write everything I want to talk about! That being said, I’ve had the itch to blog every single day, so I just had to get back on here again while I had the time.

So, without further ado, here is a bit of my past week in iPhotos (in no particular order)!

I finally wore the gray t-shirt dress! I actually wore it another day with the purple and blue J.Crew statement necklace, too! Perfect to throw on for an afternoon shopping trip or out to dinner!

My mom and I did some serious damage at J.Crew…

Also purchased on this shopping excursion:

• J.Crew:

-hot pink tank top

-white tank top

• GAP

-coral nail polish

-white terry cloth sweatshirt (to throw on at night after a day at the beach or pool)

• Banana Republic

-delicate silver necklace

My parents and I spent an evening in Harvard Square after dropping one of my brothers off at Logan Airport. He’s backpacking through Europe with some friends for a month… with just what he has on his back. I couldn’t even pack that light for an overnight trip…

We ate outside at Grendel’s Den in Harvard Square, which I had actually read about on Tina’s blog, Carrots N Cake. I had never really had tofu, so I chose the Salvadoran Vegetables & Tofu with quinoa. I definitely would’ve liked it more with chicken instead of tofu (I decided tofu’s not really my thing), but the veggies and quinoa were awesome and I devoured the whole thing!

I sort of mastered a not so perfect sock bun.

That deliciousness would be a Blue Bunny Birthday Party Premium Ice Cream Sandwich. Speaks for itself.

The boy and I spent the 4th of July at the beach. After a week of nasty, stormy weather, no one could have asked for a more perfect Independence Day.

~~~~~~~~~~

The fam and I celebrated one of my other brothers getting a new job with a fancy-shmancy dinner.

Unfortunately, that’s about all the pictures I took this week :/. I wish I had all the time in the world to blog about all the workouts I did, the yummy food I ate, and the fun memories I made because, trust me, this week was filled with all that good stuff.

*Hopefully I’ll be back to my daily posting routine this coming week. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed the pics and I hope you enjoy your weekend even more!
