Minneapolis, MN

Man, I have A LOT of catching up to do! Posts that should have been done in November are just getting done in January. I guess that just means I've been having TOO MUCH fun and been too busy to type up a blog post.

I flew to Minneapolis in October to attend the Out & Equal Conference for the second year. I had an AMAZING time!!! But damn is Minneapolis freaking COLD. And it was only October/November… I can't imagine how cold it is in January!

Anyways, here is my Minneapolis trip as detailed in pictures….

Um….apparently this is how they spell Amber in Minneapolis….

Did you know Mary Tyler More Show was set in Minneapolis? Well, now you do because there is a statue of her downtown

Not sure why there were stars all over this wall, but of course I had to take a picture

Charles Schultz was born in Minneapolis, so there was a park with his characters

The Star Tribune 

Downtown Minneapolis

I randomly stumbled upon this office!

Happy New Year!

2014 is shaping up to be quite an awesome year for me. New job and location are in the works (wish me luck!) and of course all my normal awesomeness. I normally make myself goals for the year, but this year so many new things are happening, I don't even know where to begin. So instead, I'm just holding on for dear life as things change. Here's to a fantastic and adventuresome new year!

Oh honey, never wear a skirt that gives you back fat. Its not attractive.

Happy Birthday to ME!

That's right, Friday the 13th and a happy 31st birthday to me!

Just writing that I realized the 13 and 31 are reversible! Just a bit of a nerd alert there :)

Hannah's Faux 30 Party

 

That time when only I was ready for the picture....

MAN I've been SLACKING on updating this blog. Time to get back in the game. And considering its almost my birthday, I guess I should post about Hannah's birthday....which was back in JULY. Oops! And I long for the weather where I could wear a dress instead of the snow boots you need right now. Ugh. She celebrated her actual birthday all across of Europe a few weeks before this party. So, since we couldn't all go to Europe, we had a faux birthday instead.

She does know how to throw down so I knew this would be a great time! She wanted us all to go to a DC United game, but not just ANY seat would do. We sat in the Barra Brava section...you know that really rowdy section where everyone cheers and throws their ($10 freaking dollar) beer when we make a goal! There's also chanting, feet stomping and flag waving in this section too!

Getting our barra brava tickets!

A very adorable preggers Danielle joined in on the selfies (she has since had the MOST ADORABLE beautiful baby boy!)
