It feels a lot like jealousy, but with a heap more anticipation. Maybe it’s the feeling of missing out? Or maybe it’s homesickness wrapped in a blanket of Hoosier pride. Whatever it is and whatever you call it, I miss the Indianapolis 500. It didn’t hit until just this weekend when the sun came out (as did the shorts and t-shirts, #sunsoutgunsout) and my friends near and far posted photos online of them at Carb Day, at the parade, at the Snakepit Ball, and any of the tens of other festivities throughout Indianapolis this weekend.

It’s been exactly three months since I’ve moved to the UK. I’m nearly settled in (except for our non-existent kitchen) and have a weekly routine now. Slowly but surely, the UK is becoming my home. I have definitely not been blogging as much as I want to nor as much as I should to keep everyone in the US updated, but it honestly hasn’t been a priority since I’ve been here.

I met up with my best friend Audra this week in her hometown of Orlando so we could hit the outlets for their pre-Christmas sales, and we practically stole from some of the shops. Kate Spade…
Yesterday was the first major snow of the season! Snow always makes me feel so warm, cozy, and a bit nostalgic. I love the excitement I felt as a kid, waking up in the morning to find snow on the ground in hopes of a day off (or at least a two-hour delay!). Martin and I took full advantage of the festive beauty by heading over to the Carmel Civic Plaza and the Monon Trail to enjoy the Christmas tree. We stopped by the Kolache Factory to fill up on kolaches, which are the most…
