oh hey, it’s me Cass, it’s been a while hasn’t it.

Life:

Well clearly the past 2 months have been insane since you haven’t heard from me in a while. I didn’t men to take an impromptu hiatus but life happens. Where do I even start …

Covid had actually really kicked my ass, so I found I just didn’t have much energy for literally all of June. I was slowly trying my best to get back feeling normal. 

We did end up going to Nashville for CMA Fest which was a legit dream come true. We bar hopped down Broadway & I danced the Friday away. Saturday we did one of those pedal bike drinking tours which ended up being a better time than I thought. Sunday was home time, which after 2 days of heavy drinking, it was needed. Plus I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. 

At the end of June, we did travel with my family to Italy for a wedding. We had an amazing time & my goodness I miss Italy so so so much.  We stayed in Sorrento, & did a bunch of little day trips: 2 full day boat trips to Capri, a beach day in Nerano, a walk around Positano. The wedding was in Sorrento on the cliffs & my goodness what a beautiful setting! Overall it was a jam packed week & filled with lots of family time! 

We did host our first dinner party, that was so fun but the lead up was stressful. Literally spent the day deep cleaning & cooking. But overall, I’m glad we have one under our belt. 

We spent a heck of a lot of our free time fixing up the house or rather mainly fixing up our basement, literally issue after issue. But as of next weekend, everything will be good to good & we’ll have an issue-free house (at least for now). 

Reading: I got some reading in, not as much as I hoped but just a smidge. I’m still behind on my goal, but c’est la vie. 

Fitness wise: Let’s just say I didn’t move much, mainly walking & some pilates. I have started to amp up the workouts since the wedding is creeping up, so that’s been good. My bestie & I have a little ‘accountability’ text chat, which has been motivating me to get moving. I’ve set some goals for myself for the next 3 months, so I spent the later half of July trying to get into a routine already.

Wedding Planning:

Alrighty, the 3 month countdown is officially on. There has been so much more to do & it’s been overwhelming. 
My bachelorette weekend is around the corner, crazy it’s crept up but i’m so excited but stressed at the same time. 
Not only are we wedding planning, but we are also trying to plan the Bridal Shower at the same time, talk about stressful. 

Work:

I am just over 2 months into my new job, crazy right. It’s been keeping me busy to say the least. But I am absolutely loving it & can’t wait to see where this takes me.
