Hello all! It has been quite the crazy month and I've barely had time to make new posts.  Surprisingly I've been finding different things to be doing on the weekends.  While that is a good thing, I've somewhat missed just kicking back and taking some me time. About a month ago now my friend Sam and I took a road trip up to Scranton to visit one of our very good friends, Laura.  We headed up on Friday afternoon after work and stayed until mid-morning on Sunday.  We had a great time and it was so nice to be able to spend some time with Laura, especially because we don't get to see her very often anymore. The drive up wasn't too bad and only took about two hours to get there with some traffic in between.  Friday night we ate dinner with her family and then went out for a small adventure: After frolicking out side in the beautiful weather for a little while, we made our way over to the liquor...

Last Friday some friends and I went to the Oval down by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.   The Oval is a space where the community can gather and have some fun!  All of the events are free to go to and there's a lot to do down there.  They have a beer garden, yard games and a small mini golf course!  The night that we went was for a screening of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie/ pizza party!! And strangely, Macaulay Culkin's cover band The Pizza Underground was playing a special show as well! Here are a few photos from a fun night! The sizable crowd!!! "I've always liked, 'cowabunga!'" Hope to head over there again and have some more fun! -Kristina

The apartment that I'm currently living in was built in the 1920's and the architecture inside and out is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is very clear and is shown throughout our apartment and other part of the building. While taking my own photos this week, I wanted to show off some of the details of the house. Top is French Connection UK , Jeans are Old Navy , Wedges are Timberland

With my roommate out for the week, I plan on movie marathons, maybe trying a new recipe and trying to have company over to break up the silence a little.  Treat yourself to something nice this weekend. Get a new outfit, buy yourself (or someone else) some flowers, buy a movie, go for ice cream do whatever you like to do best!  Don't you deserve it after a long week? -Kristina
