Hi everyone! Wow, do I feel out of the loop. I’ve only posted 3 times in the past 3 weeks! The blog has taken a lower priority as we got ready for our move. 

If you have been following the past couple months, you’d know that my fiance and I have been planning to move to Fort Worth to be closer to his job. And now we’re here! And we unpacked in 4 days. We couldn’t believe that we had every single thing done in such a short amount of time. We both took off three days of work and spend every minute of those days unpacking so we could go back to work this week without anything to worry about.

We’ve been eating lots of take-out — having your entire kitchen packed in boxes doesn’t make cooking very easy ;) Lots of Panda Express, Panera, Dominoes, and Chili’s (not my pick…..). While I’ve enjoyed eating more indulgently, I can definitely feel my body asking for fruit and veggies! 

Time to get back into my normal routine. I found a bootcamp here in Fort Worth that I’m trying out tomorrow morning. I also plan to start up running again, and also start photographing recipes again :)
