Happy Friday!! I am coming to you from the dead. This morning I went to a crossfit workout event at Yotel hotel. This is my second time taking crossfit, last time being 5 years ago. It was a conditioning class outside on the rooftop of the hotel…. in 80 degree weather. I. am. dead. now. It was so hot I thought I was going to pass out. I am not sure what prompted me to attend the event, since I am not a crossfitter nor am I really a fan of it. To be honest it’s my least favorite workout. When I initially got the email I thought, sure, why not challenge myself.  Kidnap me next time I make this decision. All jokes aside it was a great workout and I am glad/proud that I went. We did a lot of sprints, weights, and battle ropes. Send an Uber please….

Happy Friday!! How was your 4th of July celebration? Mine was nice. Mostly spent with my family. We started the day off with watching the Upper Arlington (my home town) parade. It’s UA’s 100th year anniversary so the theme was “A Cherished Past. A Golden Future”. The parade was amazing as usual with trips down memory lane of class reunions, seeing the high school cheerleaders (I was a cheerleader in high school), the marching band, great floats from different streets around town, and war veterans. The morning was perfect except for the terribly hot weather. It was almost unbearable. My poor grandmother had to skip the parade because of the heat. We made it through the hour and a half parade, but boy were we glad to get home to the air conditioning.

Happy Friday and happy almost 4th of July!! I am heading home to Columbus on Monday for a week to celebrate the 4th with my family and to see Taylor Swift!!! I CAN NOT WAIT!! Taylor is going to be amazing! I hope she brings someone on stage with her. Last time she was in Columbus she did not have anyone make a surprise cameo. If I could choose someone I am hoping either Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, or John Legend (he is from Ohio). We will see!
