US Open Recap and 4th Preparation

It's extremely embarrassing on my part that I haven't blogged in over a month and my life has been so busy and crazy that I haven't made the time to stop and share some thoughts but that is not an acceptable excuse.

The main thing making my life crazy was the fact that I worked the US Open golf tournament in Pinehurst, NC. It was an extremely hot week that made everyone tired but we kept on pushing through and had a successful week! Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Rory (booooo!). I snuck some pictures and Pinehurst is absolutely beautiful! The picture below is the clubhouse that is always open to members.

The tent I was in overlooked the 13th hole so I had to take a selfie by it before I left!

I was in the Dixon-Hughes Goodman tent all week which had the nicest two women I've ever met running it! Here's a panoramic pic!

This was the entry point to the Open! Can't believe I got this awesome experience!

And I even got to see some of my best friends which was one of the highlights of my week! I love seeing JMU friends outside of JMU!

But in other news, I moved my stuff into my new apartment today which I'm so excited about! I can't wait for a new year and a new journey in paradise aka JMU.

AND.....

the best holiday every is approaching us fast! And by best holiday ever I'm talking about our country's birthday! I already have my outfit picked out thanks to Future First Lady and Etsy but do you have your 4th essentials? Here are some options to help you find the best look for you!
