What’s Up: September 2018

Advertisements

Is it just me or did August go by in the blink of an eye?? I had a busy month filled with work, but I’m excited for September and fall! A year ago this weekend was actually my first time visiting Jon in NYC for Labor Day, what a great year it’s been.

On to my post 🙂 I’ve been linking up with my first and favorite blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What’s Up posts. Each month I’m answering the following questions:

  1. What I’m eating: I’ve been eating a lot of guilt free nachos, those are so easy to prep for lunch! I’ve also been eating a lot of take out… My office provides dinner during the week, so I usually just make do with what they provide. At the end of the day it’s all about balance, not perfection
  2. What I’m reminiscing about: my weekends spent exploring NYC before busy season. I have mandatory 9-3 in the office on Saturdays, so there’s not much time for exploring these days. You can read about my Central Park post here
  3. What I’m loving: the anticipation and excitement of moving into our new place tomorrow! We signed our lease at the end of July and I’ve been impatiently waiting to move in ever since. I think I ask Jon every day if it’s time to move yet. Luckily he humors me 😂 Here’s a sneak peak of our new kitchen!
  4. What I’m dreading: tax season! I have a month and a half left of busy season. I work about 60 hours a week and I’m already exhausted!
  5. What I’m Up to: lots and lots of tax returns! I’ve also been doing lots of online furniture shopping. We got a nice couch from West Elm, but other than that we are probably getting most things from Wayfair/Joss & Main.
  6. What I’m working on: designing the new apartment! I must say it’s a lot harder than I thought. I can’t begin to imagine furnishing a whole house. We really want our apartment to feel put together like our home would be because we will be living there for two years.
  7. What I’m excited about: WE ARE MOVING TOMORROW!!!!!!! 🎉If you couldn’t tell, I’m beyond excited😀 I’m also going to be in my friend’s wedding next weekend and I’m really excited about that. It’s the first one I’ll be in and that Jon and I are attending together. The wedding is in my hometown, so I’ll also get to spend time with my family too. Lots to be excited about!
  8. What I’m watching/reading: I’m reading the second Crazy, Rich, Asians book called China Rich Girlfriend. I highly recommend the series, it’s a nice light-hearted book and perfect for when I’m winding down before bed. We saw the movie and absolutely loved it, definitely would recommend you all to see it!!
  9. What I’m listening to: lots of Ed Sheeran. Perfect and Supermarket Flowers are my current favs
  10. What I’m doing this weekend: unpacking and moving into our new apartment, and some work of course
  11. What I’m looking forward to next month: Finishing busy season! After 10/15 busy season will officially be over and I can enjoy fall, Halloween, and explore NYC. I’m excited to see all the leaves change color in Central Park 🎃
  12. Bonus: Throwback to my first time visiting Jon! We ate dinner at Catch, visited the 9/11 memorial, walked the high line, and worked out. Time flies when you’re having fun!
