so for a while now (since july) i've had an editorial internship with Austin Monthly Home Magazine here in Austin. I love it! Anyways, I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing people, designers, and architects- which is amazing. my editor, HT, is the best. i did so much work on a feature that she gave me credit for it! i was thrilled! usually interns don't get credit for the work they do, so this was both a shock and reward! and not only did i get credit, but I was mentioned as a contributing writer! baller!!

last night CL and I were invited (vip i may add) to the austin monthly cool issue launch party and of course the home magazine launch too! i was SO thrilled to throw open the magazine and see my name appear on those glossy pages!

if your in austin, go grab a copy! the story start on page 88!

CL made me wait til we got out of the party to pose with my page! haha

the winter cover...

contributing writer.. me! so cool!

editorial intern.. me too!

ahh!

seriously the coolest feeling seeing this for the 1st time!

sorry for all the iPhone pics! but i had to get this posted!!

i'll also have a feature in the spring issue, so be looking out for that in march!

Yay!

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving! Sorry i've been MIA.. i've been out of town aaaaaand I got a new computer! that means lots more blogging.. partially because i can see the screen better (its huge!) and partially because this new machine is SO fast! ahh love it!

its touch screen-- how cool is that?! i know i sing apple's praises, but for the size, price, and cool stuff it comes with (especially memory and hard drive) it is worth every penny! i still have my macbook pro and will continue to use it when i travel, etc., but this will be my new primary computer! woo hoo!

i'll be back tomorrow with thanksgiving updates! including a few christmas tree pics!

warrior dash!

last saturday was the day! warrior dash!

after weeks of "training", CL and I made it!

It was SO much fun!

it was 3.2 miles of mud, dirt, hay, ups, downs, and fun!

it was all fun and games til the end when in CL's words, 'thats how i operate', i busted my butt and tore up my knee and majorly sprained my ankle. but have no fear.. with a little laughter i got up and made it across the finish line!

see!

24 hours in the homeland.

last week (thurs-fri) i trekked allllll the way to houston to see my best friend michelle! i hadn't had the chance to see her since she got engaged, and well, it was time! we spent the day catching up, oohing and aahing over wedding stuff (so fun!) and eating! we met up with all the girls (robin, april, margeaux, stephanie, mrs. maggie, ann, and marisol) at mccormick & schmicks' for happy hour food, some music, and a lot of pinot noir!

ran into kristen! love her blog All in My Twenties!

it was such a great night! everyone was in a festive mood, the weather was awesome, and i was even asked to be michelle's co-maid of honor! (with robin.. since i live in austin, shes going to pick up the slack when i can't get to houston!) i am so excited and honored to stand by her when she marries eddie!!

 

after happy "hour" (we were there for 3 or 4 haha) we headed out to Washington and continued having a good time.  a few more drinks, a lot of laughter, and some pork tacos later we called it a night. 

it was so fun and refreshing to take a quick trip home. the humidity didn't even get to me! i met up with my mom on my way out for some yummy lunch at grand lux (mmm!) and then headed back to the atx! i wasn't even gone long enough for CL to dirty up the house ;)
