Happy Friday! I’m so excited for a three-day weekend. But before I jump ahead, let me look back and show you what I loved about this week:
1. The YAP Garden Party at The Joslyn Art Museum. Bad weather caused the event to be moved inside but it was still so much fun. There was a DJ, food from Localmotive and Jones Bros, drinks created by the Omaha Bartenders Guild, and yard games like bowling and life-size Jenga. Josh and I had a great time.
2. I went to Modern Love for a second time and fell in love with these vegan mac ‘n shews. I wish I could eat this every day. It was so good!
3. This map shows the value of $100 in each state. It is crazy to see how far (or how little) $100 goes depending on where you live. Yay for living in Nebraska!
4. A Walk to Remember was on ABC Family the other day and I had to watch it. I’m a little bummed because I chose watching a movie over doing pilates for the day. (This week has honestly sucked for workouts. I’m excited to turn that around.) But A Walk to Remember is such a beautiful story and one I haven’t seen in years. It made me feel all the feels. And cry like a baby while Josh looked at me like I was crazy for voluntarily watching something that made me so sad.
5. I am loving the Omaha Junior League. We had our first new member meeting this past week and then a social hour afterwards. The ladies in Junior League are so friendly and outgoing. I’m excited to get to know them better. I’m also really excited to start volunteering. I just signed up to volunteer with the Omaha Symphony Orchestra for a kids Halloween party. It sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun! And little kids in costumes are the cutest things ever!
Questions of the Day: What are you loving this week? Do you like vegan food? What is a movie that always makes you cry but you still love to watch anyways?
That map is crazy! I live in MS where money goes further, BUT salaries here are MUCH lower than anywhere else in the country!
Yes! I think the map doesn’t really take salary fluctuations into account.
I still remember sitting in the theater and bawling my eyes out when watching A Walk to Remember. I love that movie though! One of the few chic flicks I can always watch.
I remember seeing it in the theater too! It’s crazy how long ago that was. It makes me feel old!
that map is really cool. I am surprised NY isn’t higher. I always felt like everything cost SO much more whenever I visited. The vegan meal looks SO good!
The vegan meal is delicious! And yes, NYC is so pricey!
Ya… $100 doesnt get you nothing out here in CA… well, that’s not true, but it is.
California is a great state though! I hope to visit sometime soon!
I’m loving the final days of summer and a spontaneous beach trip! Enjoy your long weekend!
Have so much fun at the beach!
Wow at that map! I live in Alabama so it seems like we get a little more out of $100 but I DO know that salaries are way less here. And A Walk to Remember is such a great movie!!!!
Isn’t it? I remember seeing A Walk to Remember in theaters and now it has been years since it has come out.
Oh I might just visit you for that vegan dish! Haha and to have fun with you and all your fun events of course
The vegan restaurant is incredible!
All I do is cry at A Walk to Remember – I lent it to a spanish exchange student once and he took it back to Spain. I need a new copy or to watch it on Netflix or something!
You should definitely watch it!
I love vegan food!! Any time we’re out I gravitate towards the vegan places… The fiancé is still skeptical but I’ve gotten him on board a few times! A Walk to Remember is one I can’t watch (though I have)… Just too much emotions!!
A Walk to Remember is such a heart breaker! Ah I love that movie!
