Gym Runs & Fall Favorites

So I finally decided to go check out a new gym last night since I am doing so well on my wedding work outs now!!
So I headed of to the gym around 8pm last night when i finally got out of work. 
First i headed for the treadmill. 
I hate running on treadmills.
One, I'm running no where
Two, there is nothing to look at because im running iin the same spot
Three, it gets so hot in the gym when running.
But I rocked out and ran a solid 3 miles in 30 minutes!
Next I moved on to some weight machines because I don't want any fatty arms in my wedding dress!!
Overall, my gym experience after not having been to a gym in over 1 year was excellent!
Now that its the first day of fall alot of my favorite things come out
Fall smelling candles
Boots
Sweaters
Apple and Pumpkin picking
Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Hay Rides
Halloween
and new amazing tv shows.
I am excited for everything.
Greys
Glee
Suburgatory
Pan Am
Can not wait!!
So i'm ending the summer and starting fall with a summery fall inspired outfit!!

What are you excited for this fall!?

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Yup that right I finally caved. 
After moving my old blackberry service was roaming all of the time and I was get charged up the wahoooo. 
So I finally changed services and got an Iphone!!!
I am absolutley obsessed with my new phone. 
I may at the same time be terrified to drop it and crack it. 
But other than that I simply love it!!
So now I am dabbling in all the little neat tricks that apple has to offer!!
The autocorrect on the phone cracks me up.
I have said some pretty ridiculous things so far and can only wait to see what the future holds!
haha!

Other than that.
I have been slowly trying to get back in to running. 
I know I have been pretty much saying this every post, 
but now I am serious.
I have ran about 3 days in a row and am kicking butt. 
This time next year I hope to run my second half marathon!!
I wish I could run one before my wedding, so I could be in ridiculously good shape!
But prior to april its quite cold and me and running 13.1 miles in the cold is not a good though. 
I have found a really good running partner so I am feeling really good about this!!
My runs havent been that long, but they have been a pretty good speed.
About 9.14 a mile. 
Better than nothing right!?

.
Well mish you all!!

Never Forget.

I tend not to post on 9/11.
Why do you ask?
For a lot of reasons. 
9/11 reminds me how short life is & I would much rather be spending my time frolicking then glued to my laptop, because I try to spend the day remembering everyone who lost their lives that day and the families that lost loved ones. Because like many others. I will never forget what happened on 9/11. 
As most of you know. I am a New Yorker.
Born & Raised. 
Its my life and my favorite place in the entire world. 
Yes our taxes are outrageous. But I wouldn't give it up for anything.
As some of you know. I am from just outside of New York City. I would say it probably takes me 15 minutes tops to get from my place to the city, depending how bad traffic is. 
As a New Yorker, 9/11 devastated me.
I was only in 9th grade when it happened, but I can remember exactly where I was in study hall when we watched on the tv the second plane hit the south tower. 
I was too shocked even to move. 
My parents came within 20 minutes to pick me up from school. 
I sat at home watching the news all day.
Crying, wondering how on Earth could this happen. 
Still to this day it doesn't feel real.
Still to this day, I don't get it.
I don't think I will ever get what will possess anyone to want to hurt that many people.
I thank god everyday that I did not have any family in that building or at the pentagon, or traveling. 
But I know many people whose families were. 
I don't think I will ever get it.
I don't think it will ever feel real.
But maybe thats a good thing
I was once told by one of my professors that the day I stop believing the people I work with and start believing that what they are saying to me are lies, is the day I start losing faith in humanity. 
I have unbelievable faith in humanity & can only wait for the day until everyone else does too. 
I will never forget.

Bad Blogger Award!!

I am back!!!!
I realize that I deserve the bad blogger award of 2011, but massive changes have been happening in my life.
I am into week 2 of my new job! 
My new job that I love. My new job that I really feel like I can help support and provide people with the skills that they need to live functional less chaotic lives! I am not going to lie. I am still quite nervous at what I do. Its hard to believe that I have such a big impact on people's lives and that type or responsibility it somewhat intimidating, but I am absolutley prepared for this. Grad school for 2.5 years taught me well and I am confident I will succeed. But I guess being nervous is normal right? If I wasn't nervous that may mean I was cocky, and being cocky is never good when your trying to help others.

Fiance and I spent all weekend moving in to our new apartment. 
Please let me express to you how much I hate moving. But now that we are in and mostly settled I am loving it. When we woke up Sunday morning there was a huge lightening storm that blew our router for our internet, so we just finally got internet back today. Hence why I am now posting!!
I am in love with our apartment and all of our new furniture.
Especially our couch!!
Yep I know worlds commmmmfiest couch ever!!!
Now its not even 9pm and I am about to get ready for bed!! 
Hahah ridiculous. 
 Soooo my posts should be back on schedule soon. 
I went for a nice run today where my ipod stopped working which was frustrating so I have to attempt to figure that out tomorrow!!!
Otherwise, I'm glad to be back!!
xoxo.
