You didn't think I wasn't coming back, did you?!

It's been a while. One year and five months, to be exact. After the overwhelming flood of emails and fan mail (from my Mom), I decided not to deprive her any longer. 

I'M BACK, BABY!

The last year and a half has been pretty incredible. 2015 has been a year filled with some unbelievable memories, milestones and new beginnings. 

Here are some highlights: 

-I started a new job at an ad agency where I'm currently establishing my writing career. I've learned that copywriting is a lot like writing comedy, with the exception of excessive cursing, punchlines and bombing in front of a live audience. Other than those minor details, they are one in the same. 


-I fell in love...with a sandwich. 

I first discovered Jimmy John's when I was walking home from work one night and was entrapped by the delectable fragrance of carbohydrates radiating from the shop. I don't remember exactly what happened next, but I'm pretty sure I blacked out from the scent of fresh bread. Needless to say, Jimmy John and I are still going strong and see each other on a weekly basis. I've also gained roughly 17 pounds. #LoveIsLove 



-On September 6th, my brother Jesse, married his long-term lover, Ali at The Liberty Warehouse. I've never experienced such a colossal amount of love for two people, jammed into a single room. The entire weekend was spent celebrating with our closest family and friends, enjoying copious amounts of delicious food and dancing like maniacs. An ideal weekend to say the least.  

Ali made such a stunning and elegant bride (with zero meltdowns - #BlessHerHeart) and Jesse looked so handsome in his navy tux. Both J&A beamed with pure love and newlywed bliss - it was impossible not to get emotional. I probably cried 5 gallons of tears. No doubt, we will all relive that day forever.

The good stuff isn't over yet - keep reading!


-On October 13th at 6:51pm, the most precious 6 pound 13-ounce human was born. Craig's sister, Stephanie and brother-in-law, Phil welcomed the newest and cutest addition to our family; Elise Marion Sabatino. Guys, she's seriously perfect. I'm not just saying this because I'm her aunt - she is actually the most adorable thing I have ever seen. She'll start crying if you don't hold her close to your heart - I mean, how friggin cute is that?! Steph and Elise are happy, healthy and absolutely beautiful. 

Over the years, I've had the privilege of witnessing Steph and Phil get engaged and then become Husband and Wife. Last February, S&P took me and Craig out for dinner at Jane (order the meatballs and mussels, you won't regret it), where we learned we were going to be an Aunt and Uncle. Well, here we are nine months later. Elise has officially been here for one week and has already managed to steal our hearts and the background of every screen we own.
