Snapshots from Summer Break

It's been a while, hasn't it? 

What have you all been up to?

Here are some snapshots from my summer break thus far...

{Pink Moscato with the ladies in Chicago...Girl time!}

{Revisited one of my favorite restaurants from the college days}

{And tried out a few new Chi-town offerings as well}

{Ate a lot of good food, among them, linguine & clams}

{Shrimp & tilapia ceviche}

{Singaporean laksa - creamy coconut noodle soup}

{A mixed noodle dish at Merlion Rice & Noodles in Columbus}

{Hainan Chicken}

{Celebrated a co-worker's on the way baby boy!}

{Said goodbye to a dear friend from A&F who's moving on to a new chapter of her life}

{Attended House of Earnest's birthday bash for her hubby's 30th} 

{Beer cup souvenirs...adorable}

{Lovely Bavarian themed party, complete with beer trucks} 

{And pretzels, of course}

{Also found the re-emergence of my sweet tooth, evidenced with my consumption of cream puffs}

{Gracie is also having a lovely summer herself, playing with the big dogs, as usual}

{And of course, I, along with the rest of America, and of course Emily Maynard, fell in love with one Jef Holm from this season's Bachelorette!}

How about you? What have you been up to?
