pitt & chs

fun with a coworkers sunglasses!
so i realized i never wrote about my pittsburgh trip last week! i had a great weekend working in pittsburgh at the conference. i was conference support, so i didn't have my own group of students but i was conference paparazzi and helped with whatever needed to be done and i was lucky to get to spend the weekend with a few of my favorite people. so really most of my weekend was spent laughing with my coworkers. and as i wrote about earlier this week it really gave me time to think about working in corporate leadership & development. so lots to think about and it was great to travel as i've really missed that. and i met a new awesome person who i was conference support with and we had a fun adventure sunday morning and also had one of our flights the same on the way home. and maria and i had fun hanging out in the charlotte airport while we waited for our flights home and we also saw catelynn & tyler from teen mom!  

so i didn't really get out to enjoy pitt except for the little adventure sunday morning, which i'm still waiting on the pictures of! but here are some pictures from the weekend. i love these conferences for the connections you make and meeting so many awesome people!

fun adventure!



gorgeous fall day in pittsburgh!
<3 the beach!
and this week was pretty crazy with work. i started in my new position and the next few weeks are going to be rough. with the store being a mess and the holiday season upon us i have a lot to do in the next few weeks! but i'm excited about it and man i'm getting a great upper body workout from constantly moving boxes and clothes! so today was my day off from retail job and after seeing my schedule for next week i decided not to sub today as i'm working sun-thursday next week and my last day off was october 29th so if i didn't take today off i'd be working until the 18th without a day off. so i had a lazy morning reading in bed and enjoying snuggling in my bed on such a chilly morning. and then this afternoon amy and i had an adventure to the beach! 

since we are 20 minutes from the beach we headed out to sullivans's island again to enjoy a walk on the beach and this time decided to head towards fort moultrie. so not only did i go to the beach i also got to see a historic revolutionary war/civil war fort on veterans day! i can't wait to go back and actually do the fort, not just walk by and hug it! so here are some fun pictures from our beach walk. and it was a but chilly today in charleston only getting about 60 today, but an absolutely gorgeous day for a beach walk! 



fort moultrie - the palmetto log fort here on sullivans island was super important in the revolutionary war
super excited to be at the fort and hugging history! i also frolicked to the fort to hug it. 


shadow fun at the beach!
gorgeous day!
sunset over the fort

so i had a wonderful day off! i'm headed out to a party tonight of a friend and i'm currently watching the unc-msu basketball game. to kick off the season and to honor veterans day they are playing on an aircraft carrier and it is pretty awesome! and tomorrow night i'm seeing darius rucker! such a great weekend!

what are your weekend plans?

Sullivan's Island is my favoritest beach here--you got some gorgeous photos! Good for you for moving up the ranks in your job so quicky! My bestie works in management for a clothing chain, and it is HARD WORK, but it seems like she really likes it and would like to get into the corporate side of things some day. I just like that I get the employee discount when I go shopping with her ;)
