My Week

The past week has been completely packed with the loveliest of things.

One, in particular took the cake.

I'm definitely in love with the weather here.

81 degrees in January/February? I'll take it.

I did my fair share of lounging on various Malibu beaches

and went to a pretty amazing beach party. Relaxxxxx.

I had the most delicious cappuccino that my taste buds have ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Oh, and it was the size of my head. Make it a double!

I also spent some time with my lovely ladies Corina and Kiki.

The East Coast was in full force and let's just say our nights are like Vegas..

What happens there, stays there.

Oh and now for the grand, amazing, perfect, showstopper.

LOOK WHO SURPRISED ME!!!

I had been running on and off for a few hours to work off the anxiety and frustration that had been dogging me.

The run on the beach from Santa Monica to Venice is the best therapy.

When I finally looked at my phone and called Alex back, he said ever so simply,

"Lauuuuuren, would you like to hang out tonight?" (the usual question)

To which I responded, "Yes. Come on over and pick me up." (the usual response)

and he said "Okay, I'm in Westwood..I'll be there soon."

CUE absolute hysterical crying.

A year has gone by and we are still more comfortable with each other than I thought humanly possible.

Here's to making a year and 3000 miles seem like mere ant-hills.
