A wayyyy late photo/story from Miami. We found a spot that is actually a coffee shop during the day; then a fantastic little hipster bar at night with one DJ, someone with a bubble machine, and someone else with a tambourine.
The best part? An entire wall was covered in photos of people with amazing mustaches. It obviously needed documented. View high resolution

Guess what? Last night was date night, and it was the most perfect kind because we both went into it treating it 100% as just grabbing a drink, not “omg, this is a date, let’s get awkward”.

It was fantastic. Great conversation, great drinks, and topped off with a goodbye in the rain. Just what I needed :)

So, this is great.

I’m working with some international clients right now, a married couple, and legit 100% not making this up: their names are Guy and Gal.

Goodbye, sweet world. You’ve won.

So I know a million years late on this, and also LOL I’m a 26 year old that watches The Vampire Diaries….but holy shit you guys, THE FINALE.

The last minute gave me severe levels of anxiety, which, have not subsided since I finished watching the episode. Someone, help.

A scene from my weekend in Michigan: celebrating my nephew’s 2nd birthday,
These past few weeks, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s been radio silence (except a bunch of instagram pics) on this here blog, apologies for that.
With everything that has happened in the past month in my life, I feel like every morning I’ve woken up feeling uncertain. Uncertain on what the day ahead would bring. Happiness, sadness, normalness, etc. If the day would be filled with moments of missing my dad, or moments not missing him; moments of stressing over the bills, the rent, the day to day troubles that didn’t go anywhere, just because my dad did.
Recently, I’ve felt good. Still, this weekend was the perfect break from my daily routine. I got to get out of Chicago, spend time with family, and walk into a room where that little guy above ran into my arms and said “Ali’ssssss here!!”
It’s such an amazing experience for me to be so close to my nephew, to see him grow and learn new things; new words and new toys. He (and I) were on a huge bubble kick this weekend. I love that I get to experience, or rather, re-experience moments of childhood by spending time with my nephews. Simply put, it makes my heart swell with joy. View high resolution
