After a busy, amazing, full holiday weekend at my parents' house, and the past week complete with technical difficulties and my first bootcamp class at the YMCA (ouch), I'm ready to take it easy starting this afternoon. Kristie and I are meeting for a coffee date after work tonight, and then spending the weekend exploring some nearby towns, running errands, planning my 5-year college reunion, and hopefully hitting up our first flea market of the season. Have a great weekend!
