I wish I had posted more this month. It's been an insanely busy month, one filled with exciting news, lots of work, and a fun getaway. It's one of those months that although I didn't get to write as much as I'd like, its a post like this that will help me capture all of the amazing moments. 

August might have been one of my worst months of posts on the blog. If you don't count my posts for Peru I've had one book review and one Chef Joel & Jenn and that's it. Pretty poor showing. I'm hoping to rectify that next month, but until September rolls around let's recap an incredible August. 

We're now in the heart of summer and the new monthly "A Look Back" series has been going for three months strong. This month might be the shortest yet, but I wouldn't expect that to be the norm for the remaining five months of the year. 

For a third straight month, my monthly updates continue. Although I enjoy pretty much everything I write for my blog, looking back at stuff is one of my favorites. So without further ado lets talk about the start of our 2017 Summer. 

Last month I decided to start making "monthly updates". Instead of trying to post a couple of posts a week, I would combine a lot of it into one monthly recap. I enjoyed writing about April so much that I've been staring at the calendar actually looking forward to the end of May just so I could write about it. So with no more preamble let's look back on our amazing month.

2017 has been off to an intense beginning. The year began with Jenn accepting a new job and April 1st was only the second day in our new Newport Beach apartment. We've had a lot going on. We started off April dropping off our keys at our old the high rise apartment and fully moving into the new one. I will say we made more trips to West Elm (in South Coast Plaza) in the last month then we did the entire time we lived in Santa Ana. In a future post I will write about our apartment and take pictures of the final product, but I will say as of this writing the place is stunning. Jenn has truly outdone herself with our new places decor.
