MIA and Road Trip to CT

I am so sorry I have been MIA.

I decided to road trip it halfway across the US, back to my hometown this past weekend.

It was a long trip but well worth it.

Boyfriend likes bananas.

 

The boyfriend came with me to meet my family and it went so well!  It was his first time in Connecticut.

 

I was really excited to show him around my hometown. 

I used to hang out on that hill all the time with friends.

Super surreal.

 

I decided to go because it was my sister-in-law's babyshower.

She is the nicest person, and I know she would be at mine (NOTE: I am NOT pregnant).

I surprised her! Wahoooo!  No one spilled the beans :P

 

My immediate fam. SIL in the pink.  She is a tiny tiny pregnant woman.

 

 I also got to see my beautiful niece...who loves attention, but shys away from pictures.

 

 

The drive took 16 hours.  The boyfriend and I did it in one day.

On our way back we broke it up into two days, and it felt like the longest drive of my life. 

 

I also found out that my meniscus is actually NOT repaired.

Awesome. :(

 

Back to recipe's, excercise, and normal life tomorrow.

XO Lauren
