Coffee Conversations

Guys, it’s been a WEEK. Between the 4th of July holiday, wrapping up work for the Summer, having family in town, driving to Virginia to look for a home, and final wedding prep, I’ve barely had time to think about anything other than what is right in front of me. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all good and fun things, but I’ve never felt as busy as a I feel right now. Let’s just say that trip to Paris and Italy in about a week is sounding so good right now
In case you missed it, Mike and I are in Virginia right now looking for our first rental home! We’re working with a realtor in the area, since we aren’t familiar with Northern Virginia at all. We spent all day yesterday looking at potential homes and found one that we really love. We put in an application, so we’re waiting to hear back on that. If it works out, we will end up living in the first one we looked at! It’s crazy to think that we will be moving here in about a month! We’re both looking forward to the change and are anxious to get into our first home together. 
We’re hoping to drive back to Chicago later today or tomorrow. Then, we’ll have a couple days to pack for our Honeymoon and wrap up any last minute wedding details and then it’s wedding time! Be sure to follow me on Instagram to stay up to date on things.
In non life-related things:
I’ve been loving this neutral lip lately. 
If you’re looking for cute and comfortable slides that are so well priced, look no further. I bought the nude and the blue and now want every other color. 
Have a great weekend!

      Hello All, I was really so downcast after losing so much and facing financial difficulties, no one to help me and all i could do was to just seat and watch my business going down and almost losing my son to an illness. But never the less i meet an old college mate who told me about the loan he got from Chester Brian Loan Company and until now the company have assisted so many of his friends seeking a loan. So i told him that getting a loan any more is not my style because of the disappointment from my bank and other loan company i trusted but he insisted i apply for it and now i can now boost of restoring my company back to its full glory. i will keep on testifying on behalf of Chester Brain Loan because they have made me to be a man again.

    THE BEST PLACE TO SOLVE YOUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ( upstartloan@yahoo.com )

    Hello everyone in this forum, I am Jane Robin from palm Harbor Florida 34682. USA and want to use this medium to express gratitude to UP START LOAN for fulfilling their promise by granting me a loan, i was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never with success, and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, i was introduced by a friend named Mary Williams to UP START LOAN whom also confirmed to me that she also obtained a loan from them. In an attempt to resolve my current situation, i got in contact with the company via email and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Mary, i was also granted a loan of $80,000.00; So my advise to everyone who or know someone who desires a loan, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact UP START LOAN. Besides, he doesn’t know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, i'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on ( upstartloan@yahoo.com ) or reach through Text/Call +1(574) 301-1639 AND share your own testimony.

    Yes yes! Big fan of your blog, and a Northern Va born and raised girl. I grew up in a Loudoun, the western part of Northern Va. People diss it for the traffic, but it is such an EXCITING place to live! I moved 2 hours away a year ago and am still so sad. Enjoy!
