Happy. Healthy. Fit.: pack it up & what's on the menu

have you ever felt like your week was hands-down boring, although it was actually really busy?

this past week can be summed up as meeting after meeting, upon meeting after meeting, upon meeting...etc... i think you get the point. ;)

monday was the celebration of my company's new office grand opening. the day was complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony, a campus scavenger hunt, and a ~~mad, crazy, crazy~~ ~~psycho~~ cataclysmic storm (okay, maybe i'm exaggerating just a little) that manifested seemingly out of nowhere to crash the party. there was a happy hour after party, but this girl wanted nothing more than to go home, snuggle up and watch the rain and lightning show spectacular.

soaked, soaked, soaked... at least i found something to stand under!

this will be my last week in our current offices. parting is such sweet sorrow. *tear* haha. i am really excited to check out the new digs, but will definitely miss our old office.

one last potluck at the "old" office.
starbucks pastries. this is what happens
when i forget to make a dish.

after a bit of confusion (on the property manager's part), we finally signed the lease to our new place!!! 16 days until we get the keys! yipppppie!!

and the highlight (noooo sarcasm here lol) of my week? friday marks the very first time i've had to report for jury duty. i've been summonsed twice before, but didn't have to show. unfortunately, i won't know if i'll be pulled into a case until october 11th! *sigh*

from where i stand... in front of the court house.

funny thing is that it wasn't really all that terrible. i had to report at 9am and was out by noon. and it was really only filling out paperwork... granted if i have to report again it will be for an actual case. not too thrilled lol.

packing consumed pretty much my whole weekend. i'm one of those people who likes to start packing early, pack little by little and be done with it. little to no stressing.

before pic of my living room wall. now it looks so naked!

today was the first day i ventured out since getting home from jury duty on friday. hermit much? i was dying to get out and enjoy the last bits of summer sun before fall starts to set in. hiking was my high of choice.

the dude and i planned to explore a new-to-us trail. sadly, the trail systems at that spot were so poorly marked that we ended up on a completely different trail than we'd planned. we of course made the best of it. logged 4.64 glorious miles of trekking, trail running, and beautiful valley views. :)
