Oh, hello. I found her at Fred Flare.

Heeey, girl. I’m sick. Thank goodness for health insurance.

I’ve just been moving and shaking all summer long. It’s been so long since I have updated, so I’ll narrow this down to a list:

• I moved in with Justin, his mama, and their two cats.
• Justin and I spent a week at Cornerstone with Josh, Nicole, and Cody.
• I got promoted at work, which will only further our California savings.
• The wedding of Lars and Jen was the perfect black and white affair.
• I started www.bennaimages.com, which means I’m in business.
• I may have accidentally watched “The Hills” marathon. Don’t judge me.

In addition to all of those extremely important events, I also went to see The Dark Knight.. twice. But can I just say that even though it was an extraordinary movie, it has turned every twenty-something male I know into a wannabe sociopath. On that note, I leave you with this..

Coming back, coming back.

I applied for a dream job in L.A. Cross your fingers.

P.S. My boyfriend is amazing.

So, have you seen Sex and the City? My hopes weren’t high for the movie. I absolutely adore the show, so in my opinion, it couldn’t be wrapped up again. I was really scared of being disappointed, but I was ready for it. About thirty minutes into it, I was rightly corrected. I’m sure anyone who has seen it knows which scene I’m referring to. From that point on, it was a perfect mix of comedy and drama, just like the show. If you love the show, you need the movie. Go. Right now. Go on.
The movie seriously made me want to bail out on Cali and go with my original plan. It was totally anti-LA and pro-NYC. Of course, it’s just a movie..

I found this amazing website where you can create an account and track your food intake (calories, fat, fiber, protein, etc.) and your fitness. Click here if you want to try it. I started today, because I want to keep track of how much I’m eating. I had 2 yogurts, 2 cups of cereal, 1/2 cup of milk, lots of water, and a peach, and I’m already at 600 calories. That blows my mind when I think of how much I eat when I’m out at a restaurant. Tracking my food is a bit time-consuming, but I’m hoping it helps me with portion control.

Justin and I went in on this. We are the only couple I know who would buy something like that at the Salvation Army. But hey, it’s beautiful and was only $650. It pays off to spend practically everyday thrifting. It’s how we do.
