I made it to the gym for my run the other night. Let’s just say that ice cream was NOT a good idea before. I totally cramped the last half of my 3 mile run. Thankfully, I still pushed through and accomplished what I set out for. I came home famished. Randomly, I was craving orange.

The Story of Me and Sara
Recently, I posted about having dinner with Sara from Nourish and Flourish. Excellent blog. Even more excellent writer of the blog. Many of you expressed how lucky I was to meet her and how sweet she is! Both are very true. However, there’s more to the story than meets the eye. You see, Sara and I have known each other for quite sometime. We just kept crossing paths!

Found My Groove!
Last Summer in Mexico
So last summer, before I was a blogger, I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Well we stayed in Nuevo Vallarta right near there. Today I was looking back on my pictures and reminiscing about how much fun it was. Even though I was already sick as a dog with some virus or sinus infection (both?) the first part of it. That was sad. I sat in a beach chair and slept.
