: to fail to do something...

Neglect

transitive verb \ni-ˈglekt\

: to fail to take care of or to give attention to (someone or something)

Yup, that's my blog lately. Poor thing. Do you ever feel like so run down that the last thing you want to do is sit on a computer?

For me, after a long (and trust me, lately they've been l-o-n-g) days work, the only things I want to do when I get home is, in order...

Get changed into fat comfortable clothes. This includes removal of bra.
Grab a snack.
Snuggle the baby girl on the couch.
Catch up on my shows.

Usually, I end up waking up sometime around 5pm wondering where the last hour and a half went then re-watching whatever show I had originally turned on since I missed it the first go-around. Sammy doesn't mind though. I mean, it's extra snuggles and naps for her.

Part of this had to do with the fact it was getting dark so early; it would throw off my whole night.

So here it is - black and white - I am going to do more!

More walks now that it's finally getting warmer.

Yes, finally after our 42789 month long winter.

More blogging.

More cooking.

Say what, who typed that?! That's a complete lie.

More living.

The jet-setter lifestyle...

Jet-setter 
  noun.
A rich and fashionable social set the members of which travel widely for pleasure.

I am far from the definition of a jet-setter however, I've had some pretty fun adventures this past month or so.

Toward the end of August, I completed another rescue mission with FlyPups. We brought two dogs - whom originated in TN - from Roanoke, Virginia to New Jersey where one met her foster mom and the other her furever mom. I can't even begin to explain the joy felt knowing I had part in giving these girls a second chance.

Last week, I enjoyed a peaceful Saturday in Martha's Vineyard. A trip filled with beautiful weather, great company, and my first trip to an actual Alex and Ani store. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Edgartown Lighthouse

Well hello there 737!

 

 

Although I didn't really take any pictures since it was a quick trip there for dinner then back, this past Friday night was spent in Cape Cod. Once again, beautiful weather and great company.

 

6,500 feet in the air watching Sweet Home Alabama...
Doesn't get much better than that!

 

Loving my New England destination Alex and Ani's.
2012: Block Island
2013: Martha's Vineyard & Cape Cod
2014: I guess only time will tell... 

 

This Wednesday, I'll be off to Hartford, CT to see Mr. Buble sing song that will make me tear up.

 

Sometimes we all complain about life and where we are in it. Those times are when we have to look at it from afar and realize how lucky we are. Everyone's life will include ups and downs but the journey is what matters most.

 

Officially Fall...

Crisp air.

Colorful leaves.

Warm apple cider.

Soft sweaters.

College football.

Bonfires.

Crockpot soups.

 

Welcome Fall, you've been missed!

Today would have been the day...

... the day I excitedly woke up, surrounded by my closest girlfriends. 

... the day I would have reminisced with my sisters while getting my hair and makeup done. 

... the day I would have slipped into my gorgeous white dress with a veil on my head. 

... the day my parents would have walked me down the aisle with Beau waiting for me at the other end. 

... the day I would have become his wife. 

Now don't get me wrong - as sad as I am that this isn't a reality I'm glad we've pushed the wedding off. Between his schooling, finances, and with my new management promotion at work, it would have been tough. But I still can't help but get teary eyed thinking about what today would have been. 

We'll have our time; I know we will. It may not be as soon as I'd like but it's what's best for us.

My dearest husband-to-be,

I love you. Although I wish we were married years ago, I'm happy where we are. Our little family is perfect and I know we'll have a beautiful wedding one day... Just please make that day sooner than later. Kidding. Sort of.

Your future wife,

Sarah 

Don't worry folks, I'm still alive...

Hi, my name is Sarah. I was once a blogger.

And if you are waiting for picture of our new home, keep waiting - just don't hold your breath.

(I don't want to be responsible for any deaths)

Although our living room and kitchen look nice, the hall still has boxes in it, the offices have random crap lying around, and the closet... lets just say I'm not even going to go there!

So what have I been doing since I obviously haven't been doing stuff around the house?

Working.
Working.
Oh and...
Working.

This may or may not have been my task for the one day.

Ok, it was.

It's called: The perk of working for a newspaper.

Seriously though, I've been working around 50 hours between my two jobs then putting in more hours at home for the non-profit (check us out on Facebook and Twitter #shamelessplug).

So if any of y'all would like to come put my house together for me, my door is open!
