Hello!
I am back for another iPhone mobile post straight from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!
I’m posting from the WordPress app and it won’t let me move around my photos so they are forced to be awkwardly positioned at the end. Strange – anyone have any solutions for this? Also, do you know how to resize them?
Anyways, where was I? Oh yes. We were boarding the plane! Obviously, we arrived safely and on the ride to Dan’s grandmothers house all I could think about was South Carolina peaches. I think I screamed “Peaches!” every time I saw a sign for them.
We got my peaches at Abbott Farm because it was right there along the highway. They have a TON of other food too. It’s my dream place complete with apple butter (I hate apples but love apple butter and other apple flavored items). I picked up a total of 17 peaches because that was the “small” container. Woah. The peaches are just how I remembered them 
That night, we were invited to Dan’s aunt’s and uncle’s (he is in the picture with me below) house. They had an array of amazing goodies and they requested that I bring over some peaches. Ask and you shall receive
We made peach cobbler COATED in butta… Not normally my thang but I went with it and had a little with some vanilla ice cream. Soooo good although my tummy was mad at me later (see a picture of the cobbler below).
This morning, I woke up super early and got a run in (!!). I am SO excited that I got in a run! The weather was a PERFECT 70-degrees right at 6 am so I had to take advantage.
Running this morning felt like a long lost friend who I haven’t talked to for months. Only every now and then we’d meet at the treadmill, but never for real. This morning changed all that and tomorrow, I’ll be running along the beach
After my run, we loaded up the car and left for Myrtle Beach. The car trip was uneventful and we arrived around lunch time. Our little condo is awesome!
Soon after arrival, we went to the beach and played in the waves. I always wonder how many calories it burns because I’m always so hungry afterwards!
Speaking of hungry, we are having pizza tonight (as long as we can convince Dan’s grandma and her friend but but I doubt that will be a problem! 
). So I have to go and wake up my sleeping boyfriend (see below).
Have a GREAT night everyone!

Hello!
Greetings from AirTran!
Dan and I are on our way to Charlotte, NC to meet his grandmother. Then we are driving to South Carolina for the week. We are excited because we rarely have the opportunity to travel and in the 4 and almost a half years of dating, we have never been on a plane together! Weird, huh?
So of course, we had to celebrate by having beers before 8 am (I had Miller Lite and Dan had Sam Adams Summer Ale – yum!). I mean, that’s what everyone else does right?
I may or may not be a little loopy right now Clearly, this isn’t a regular thing.
Oh dear, some guy on the flight just cursed out one of the attendants and is now being asked to leave…? Drama!
Anyways, here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
Okay – almost time for life off! See you in South Carolina!

P.S. Please notice Dan’s shirt… Feel free to make fun of him in the comments section.
Hello!
You ready to be jealous of me? Well, right now I am sitting on a couch, remote in hand, surfing the internet, and getting paid for it. The family I nanny for wanted to go on a hot date tonight so I am “babysitting” aka, sitting here and if the girl screams, go get her. She’s already asleep so I have nothing to do. Life is good
You wanna know what makes life even better than tonight? Tomorrow, I’m going on vacation with Dan! We’re getting up super early, flying to South Carolina and spending the week with his grandmother. We are even going to Myrtle Beach for a few days! (See last year’s vacation recap here). I’m so excited to get away for a few days. Mostly, I’m excited for peaches. Is that strange? There is nothing like South Carolina peaches in my book.
Luckily, I downloaded the WordPress iPhone app so I can blog on the go. Oh, you better believe I’ll be taking advantage of that. 
Tonight before I got here, I quickly did a 20-minute workout courtesy of Jillian Michaels. I’ve had the 30-Day Shred for awhile now and absolutely love it. In my opinion, it’s a “no-excuse” workout because it only takes 20 minutes and you can do it in the comfort of your own home. I did Level 2 and I think I did well. It’s amazing how much my fitness level has changed since I started incorporating strength training.
Anyways, I’m going to go watch the latest episode of The Bachelorette via online! Have a GREAT Friday night! I know I will

So, since the weather decided to play a nasty joke on us and provide up to 105 degree heat in Washington, DC, I haven’t been running. As much as I want to be all hardcore and run in this heat, it just ain’t happening. Instead, I’ve been hitting up the gym on a pretty regular basis doing interval work on a variety of machines. This week, I’ve played on the elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike, and I’ve walked outside.
It’s actually pretty nice to workout without the pressure of getting miles in. I love running but this summer, it’s nice to sit back and relax at the gym for a change. I’ve even been continuing my strength training. I think I’m seeing results because one of Dan’s friends at our 4th of July party told me I had “guns.” Oh yes, my friends I have guns. Then the dude challenged me in an arm wrestling match. At the beginning of the match, I thought I had a chance but my “guns” had no chance against his testosterone I suppose.
The 4th of July party was a great time. There was a ton of food which I ate happily. Currently, there is leftover cookie cake in the dining room that entices me every time I walk by. Cookie cake is by far my favorite dessert ever. I always request it for my birthdays
Anyways, here are some super fun 4th of July pictures. Please note the lack of fireworks pictures. They were shooting them off outside and I was terrified. Yes, I’m lame.
And this, my friends, is what happens when someone tries to take your picture while you’re eating a potato chip:
Awesome.
On a serious note, today is the 4-year anniversary of my car accident. Read the post here. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it but I thought I’d mention it today anyways. A lot has changed since that day and yet it still affects me every single day.
I hope you all are doing well.
