Bridges Through Life

Let’s Have a Chat June Edition

June 17, 2019 by Alicia Leave a Comment

I can’t believe we are over halfway through June. I don’t know where the time has gone. Actually I do know…into my school work. It’s no joke taking summer MBA classes, that’s for sure. I knew it would be compressed but I have a timeline I am aiming for. I do enjoy the learning, but sometimes the teachers and lack of communication, especially with me, as a planner, are aggravating. I’m taking finance and supply chain and so far supply chain is a piece of cake compared to finance (surprising for this math major). The struggle with finance is a lot of self teaching that is happening and lack of examples that look like the quiz questions. I’m sort of counting down to the end of the semester, but that also saddens me because that means nearly the end of summer. So just trying to get through mid terms right now and then know I have some fun plans in July and day by day I will get through this.

In case you can’t tell, school is my number one priority at the moment. Then there is working full time, going to the gym, making time to hang out with Brian and also finding room for downtime. Kind of a lot happening. I’ve decided to not train for any powerlifting meets coming up and instead just have short 45 minute workouts at the gym and it’s more to just stay in shape and work on technique. I am thinking I will go more in depth in another post on that.

Since I have spent the end of May and beginning of June filling you in on all the wedding happenings, maybe I should fill you in on current life things.

Books: I’ve somehow managed to get in some reading for fun in between crazy school work. I read The Latte Factor in two days as it was a quick read and very much how I would like to live my life. It’s kinda a self help book, but in the form of a story which I feel may translate better to some people, teaching you to think about $10 a day and how you can invest that money and live your dreams of travel or a business owner, etc. It had a lot of great points and something I aspire to.

The second book I am currently reading is Becoming Michelle Obama. I felt it started a little slow, but now I’m 41% though (according to my kindle) and it’s hard to put down so I’m hoping to finish it soon.

A couple new clothes: When we got back from Aruba, I purchased a new pair of athletic shorts because my small size from the year prior didn’t have much give. I think my growing thighs are not helping, but I know it’s muscle so not complaining too much and just finding items to fit better. Also, after getting very sunburnt on my arms in Aruba, Brian mentioned maybe I should get a sun shirt. To be honest, I always hated those and never wanted to be “that person” wearing one, but I’ve come to accept I burn easily and even two bottles of sunscreen in a week doesn’t always work. I bought two sunshirts, 1 short sleeve and 1 long from Mountain Warehouse. I also threw in a third t-shirt but also a quick dry material because it got me to free shipping so basically the shirt paid for itself right?! Besides that, I am really trying not to buy clothes right now and instead just save money after the wedding and for future tuition payments I have.

Yoga on my own: With all my homework lately and the yoga studio I like moving, I just don’t have the time to allocate 2 hours of my night to going to yoga. I was playing a lot with backbends before my wedding and honeymoon and I’m back at it and trying to practice headstands again. Doing yoga at home for me is still difficult because I think of all my to dos, but when I go to a studio, I have to focus on the practice more. I think I have to start setting a timer for a bit and just flow and do what feels good. That seems to work best for me.

TV show: OK so I haven’t watched anything new in a while, but on a whim I decided to relax last weekend after a while and started the Netflix show Dead to Me which was very suspenseful, and not usually my genre choice, but it was addicting. I watched 7 of the 10 episodes on a Sunday and then finished the other 3 later in the week. I do hope they make a season 2 of the show, because of those dang cliffhangers.

In other news, we had a garage sale day with the neighborhood, but because we live on a dead end section of the neighborhood, it is hard to get people. I put up signs at the intersection and many people drove by. We sold some stuff and made $46, but I definitely had a lot left. I proceeded to list items in bulk on Ebay to see how they would do there, at least make a little something as I have worked to become detached from the items and didn’t want to put them back in boxes.

With the nice weather during the garage sale, Brian worked on building a front porch for us. Just need to add a few steps and it will be done. Though, until we rearrange the living room, I think we will continue to use the side door to the house as it’s more convenient to the driveway.

So that’s about what I have been up to lately…not much exciting. Hoping to get some nice weather weekends where Brian and I can go for a day trip and hike somewhere. Weekends are filling up. We are thinking maybe a weekend in Philly in July and I am also doing the Color Run. Then August we have our wedding reception at our house. It seems the months will fly by but I also want to enjoy the summer and warmth. It has been nice getting out the shorts again. It’s also nice to have the heat off and so far we have been able to survive with open windows to cool the house off and not needing the AC unit yet.

Any good TV shows you are watching lately?

Have any fun summer plans?

Destination Wedding Planning Online

June 14, 2019 by Alicia 1 Comment

I feel like as a child, many people dream about their wedding someday. I dreamed of getting married, but in terms of the details that go into a wedding, I really didn’t have a clear vision. When Brian proposed to me, Feb 29, 2016, we didn’t jump right into wedding planning. We actually were in the process of discussing one way tickets to Australia which we accomplished later in 2016. We waited until we returned to the states and settled back into jobs to work on saving up before discussing planning our wedding. Brian really didn’t want anything to do with the planning though and at one point in our travels I even tried to see if we could just elope in Australia, but he refused that at the time. I knew that I would be the one putting up the funds for the wedding and after some research…WOW food is so expensive and weddings in general are expensive. I, personally, wanted to spend a bit more on our honeymoon and traveling than the wedding part.

It’s no secret that in the last 6 years I’ve moved a lot. From school in Buffalo, NY to home in Evanston, IL to Philadelphia, PA for a couple years and then to Binghamton, NY. Due to school being away from my hometown and moving, I am lucky to have friends all over. It makes getting together with my friends very challenging though. So, my solution, I’m paying for this wedding, then I’m doing it my way and that’s going to be married on a beach with a small crowd. Brian was fine with whatever I chose and my family and friends that I invited would have had to travel anyway because my family is so spread out.

I initially started to plan in November 2017. I looked into planning our wedding in Florida because my grandma lived down there at the time and I knew she wouldn’t go unless she could drive to the location. After locking in my contract and package, about 4 months passed and I had also recently found a photographer and paid a deposit. Well my wedding package suddenly became unavailable that I booked and in 4 months I had literally had email exchanges with 5 different people. It seemed the company was having issues and unfortunately I had to let that deposit go on that. Lesson noted, read contracts very carefully, because supposedly my contract only reserved my date and nothing more.

After Florida was a fail and this was 14 months before we had planned to have our wedding. I decided to move the wedding to Charleston. I had heard the beach was beautiful there and Charleston was always a place I wanted to visit. Nope I never visited before my wedding.

I did a little more research online this time and tried to look up reviews, because how do you really know a company is going to follow through and after losing one deposit, I wasn’t about to lose a second. With the wedding moved and knowing costs, I found a company, Reynolds Treasures, that was affordable and had a great package for 15 people. So that was my new limit, 15 people. We decided on parents, siblings and a few close friends. Being that the wedding was a destination wedding, I decided to also make it a mini bachelorette with my friends. In a way it was a vacation for everyone. I highly recommend Reynolds Treasures if you are looking to get married in Charleston. You can add many customizations to your package with chairs and more, but I kept it simple. I actually thought I would have chairs, but learned just before that I didn’t. It still worked out perfectly because no one would have been able to hear had they been sitting so we all gathered in a bunch. They were able to set up the wedding right near our beach house and designed a beautiful bouquet from an image I found on Pinterest. I decided on teal and coral for my colors and my friends found their own dresses. Reynolds Treasures had WAY better communication with me than the first place I had looked at in Florida. They didn’t send too many emails, just enough so I knew they still had my wedding booked. They would send an email at different dates to select things like the flowers and say what I should have planned and instructions on the marriage license, etc.

Now my package was only for the ceremony and photographer. So when it came to planning a dinner, I searched high and low for restaurants to hold 15 people and reserve way in advance. I also knew I had one friend who was a vegetarian so I really didn’t want a steak house which came up multiple times in my searches. Eventually I found Butcher & Bee and coordinated through email. I had paid a partial deposit and then was told I would be contacted a week before to confirm the number of people and choose the menu. I did call the person a week before to follow up to make sure I was getting the menu and she was great to work with. We coordinated the menu and I loved how I had a personal menu at the table when we arrived. There were 5 appetizers followed by 3 small plates to share and then everyone got to order from 3 entrees. It was perfect and honestly the restaurant blew me away with the service and the food. Everything was so good!! Everyone continued to comment on the food and how amazing it was and we had such a variety thanks to all the small plates. So many vegetables and something for everyone to enjoy!!

Butcher and Bee — a sampling of the appetizers

Continuing with keeping it simple, a wedding traditionally would have a wedding cake. Well, I am more of a cupcake person and knowing the small crowd, I stuck with cupcakes. I found Cupcake DownSouth and placed an order with them for 3 dozen cupcakes. I ended up with 3 dozen mini cupcakes of different flavors; key lime, red velvet and peanut butter chocolate. They were ALL amazing. My wedding crowd also ended up being exactly 12 people with me and Brian so it worked out that everyone had the option of trying each flavor. Brian was highly impressed by the Key lime with a graham cracker crust and all. We might have been full from dinner, but back at the beach house, we enjoyed the cupcakes. Again, this was all coordinated through emails.

Planning all this online and not having a rehearsal of any sort, I didn’t set high expectations. I mostly wanted to have fun with my friends and get married. My tips for planning a destination wedding (especially if you haven’t been to the place like me) would be:

Read the contract carefully before signing that line, know what the deposit is and the terms
Try to book a package that includes everything for you, my ceremony package was perfect with the flowers, photographer and officiant (some places I looked you needed to bring your own officiant)
Read reviews
Don’t be afraid to ask questions with the coordinator or pick up the phone and confirm with the restaurant, make sure everything is in order

I kept our wedding simple and honestly the financing part was still stressful to me because I just don’t like spending money in general and costs definitely add up. I can’t imagine the costs (or I somewhat can) when you have a wedding coordinator, designer, reception hall, ceremony, photographer, etc. For me, the cost of food still is insane to me. I felt I had a really good price at my restaurant choice for all the food everyone got and I enjoyed it too. All those details. I understand that is important to some people, but for us, a beach wedding and close friends and family was perfect. My friends came in from Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. Yes, each person in my group came from a different state. When we visited the aquarium, the person actually, jokingly, asked if I just choose a person from each state lol. I mean most of us originated from Illinois, but have since moved. That’s how my friends are so spread out and so it was special to me that they all made the trip and we had a few days to hang out as well.

It’s a bit crazy to plan a whole wedding online to somewhere you have never been, but hey it all worked out for us. In this day and age of technology, that may become the norm, who knows?

As simple as our wedding was, I’m still glad the stress of it all is over. I’m glad everything worked out and my dress worked so well for the beach, the price was worth it because I just love spinning in my dress. It was fun to get dressed with my close girl friends around and reveal to them. All the cameras in my face were a bit overwhelming at the time, but of course I loved having so many photos at the end. Now we are planning the big local reception for more people. Since we don’t have to travel anywhere this time and it’s going to be pretty casual, it should be less stress.

What do you prefer: small or large wedding?

Aruba Days 3 & 4 and Home

June 10, 2019 by Alicia Leave a Comment

Catch up with the first couple days in Aruba here.

On Wednesday, we slept in a bit, until 7:30. We had our snorkel adventure in the morning at 9:30. Knowing I would be getting on a boat, I made sure to take motion sick pills. They really helped, though thankfully, the boating time was super short before we would get into the water to snorkel. Our first stop was the SS Antilla shipwreck. This was my first time snorkeling at a shipwreck and it was neat to see.

Our second stop was a shallow area, only 7-10ft, and lots of coral and fish. However, the coral was not very colorful so it was a little disappointing. There are probably too many people. Plus, again, Brian and I are spoiled having done the Great Barrier Reef and also snorkeling in Bermuda. It was still a nice boat ride for the morning.

We got back right at noon and decided to stop at Nourish Café (Yoga Girl’s café at her studio) for some lunch. I got a taco bowl and green juice and Brian got a pesto panini and more coffee. We also saw Rachel walk into her office, but she was in a meeting when we were heading out, so I didn’t get to talk to her, but was cool to see her.

In the afternoon, I realized my arms had gotten a bit sunburned on the boat, in a strange pattern too because I had my arms crossed across my belly while laying down. I relaxed in the hammock for a bit and worked on some homework enjoying the sun while applying tons more sunscreen.

When I spoke with a girl at the yoga studio the previous day, she told me about the California Lighthouse restaurant that overlooked the island. You need reservations and I tried to make them around 5/6pm but the website said it was booked. However, it did allow me to book for 4:30pm, which I guess was still considered lunch. We arrived and I mentioned we had 4:30 reservations and they seated us, not even checking their book. There was no one at the restaurant yet so it was a little weird, but also nice to have it to ourselves and overlook the island. It’s an italian restaurant and they have a whole vegan section which was amazing. I had a vegan alfedo pasta and Brian had a seafood pasta dish. The portions were huge so we each brought home leftovers as well.

While we were at the lighthouse end of the island, we took some photos and stopped at a beach for a short walk. However, since my arms already hurt from the sunburn earlier in the day, I wanted to head back and rub aloe on them. With an early dinner, we had a good time relaxing in the evening and even caught Toy Story 2 on TV.

Day 4 – Thursday

Thursday morning we were up around 7am again so that we could leave at 8 for our ATV tour. I was a bit nervous, but got the hang of it while we were out. We booked a double and I drove. If I hadn’t driven, I probably would have gotten motion sick so it was nice that Brian let me drive while I beat him up on the bumps. Despite all the sunscreen I kept applying, my arms hurt from the burn they got on the boat ride the previous day and the beating hot sun on them did not help.

In addition, my Go Pro display decided to break. We took a few pictures in the beginning and a couple videos. They ended up turning out fine, it’s just the display that broke and I have sent my camera back to Go Pro to hopefully get a new one…hate that it broke on it’s first trip and only 2 months old.

I was glad I had my iphone though and I took it out at the stops for many photos. We stopped at a natural pool and I was so ready to get into the water to cool off. That felt amazing!! After the swim I dried off and tried to put on more sunscreen even if I just had white patches all over. We were trying to use reef safe sunscreen and it takes a lot longer to rub in.

Aruba desert — this felt so much like the outback of Australia

The ride back was nearly an hour and my arms were burning and hurting at the end. They were also covered in dirt which made it hard to even add more sunscreen to them. I was so happy that we drove over to the ATV place so we got to go straight home and it was only a 10 minute or so ride. Brian drove and once we got home, we rinsed off in the outside shower and took a short swim in the pool. Then it was time to eat. It was after 1 and we were starving. Thank goodness for the restaurant leftovers we had from the night before. Then it was time to shower inside, apply all the aloe again and cool off. We didn’t feel like doing anything in the afternoon.

Around 4, I asked Brian if he wanted to head out to the shops. I wanted to get a little souvenir of some sort. So we headed out and walked around. We stopped in the Aruba Aloe store and I got the two recommended products for sunburn. I applied it immediately because my left arm just constantly felt on fire. I have never had a sunburn like it. I was happy the aloe store had a lotion to apply because it felt so good immediately. I think since my aloe from home is a year old, it may have lost some of its effects. I then applied the cooling gel to try to cool it off. It helped, but definitely didn’t make all the pain go away.

We then stopped in Starbucks and I got an iced tea. Mostly because I wanted to hold the iced tea to my arm. It also tasted good. It had a whipped topping which went well with the iced tea.

After some more walking, Brian grabbed food at the beach bar and I headed to yoga. My intention in yoga was to be present and try to flow forgetting how much my left arm was on fire. I think I was successful for maybe half the class time. It was difficult practicing on my travel mat because once my hands and feet broke a sweat with the humidity, I was slipping everywhere, so that was tough. I was so happy though that I got to see the big room, the Luna Shala.

I ate a bit of a snack plate for dinner and then we took a night swim. It helped my burning arm. I then iced my arm in the evening which felt good. When I tried to sleep, the burning was so hot, I actually took my towel with ice and placed it over my left arm while I slept on my right side in order to sleep. Sleep was rough though. I just couldn’t get comfortable. Apparently Aruba sun is something else and I have even been to Australia and burned where the ozone has a hole in it. Also we did go through at least 2.5 bottles of sunscreen on the trip, so I was really trying not to burn.

Day 5 – Friday – Going Home

Friday was the day to head home, but we didn’t need to rush and it was nice relaxing in the morning. I made breakfast and ate outside before unpacking and repacking my suitcase to make everything fit. Honestly my arms were still warm when you touched them from the burn and I didn’t want much sun time because of that. After a short yoga flow outside, I stayed in until we decided to leave at 11. We returned our rental car and got to the airport nice and early. After checking our bags, we decided to grab a bite to eat, knowing we still had a couple hours before the flight and I didn’t want to starve on the flight.

Then it was time to go through the passport gates. I got asked if I was older than 18 years old as I was about to step up…yeah…just a bit…Then we had security and they don’t have a precheck line so off came the shoes and out came the laptops. In addition, I was told to take off my watch. That was a new one to me.

Next up was customs with grabbing our checked luggage and bringing it through. That line was long, but we both have Global Entry and it came in handy to jump the line and get checked that way. Then there was a SECOND security, so off came the shoes and out came the laptops again. Packed back up again we were finally in the gate area. Brian got coffee and we wandered around for a bit. Then I got out my laptop and wrote for a while. It was nice to have a solid 40 minutes before boarding to relax.

The flight was a bit bumpy heading into NYC. I basically put on movies I had already seen and just shut my eyes for a good portion of the flight. The flight was about 5 hours and we actually landed early, but then there wasn’t a gate ready for us so they said 10 minutes. 10 minutes went by…the plane moved an inch…and they said 10 minutes again. We landed at 7pm…we couldn’t get off the plane until 8pm!! It took an hour, not 10 minutes. It was very frustrating waiting. I was glad we didn’t have a connection to make. We had rented a car one way to drive home which would be another 3.5 hours or so.

Once off the plane, I saw Jamba Juice and basically ran for it. Your throat gets so dry on a plane and I was dehydrated. Knowing it was already late and not wanting an actual dinner, I got a smoothie and enjoyed it. By the time we got our bags and our rental car, it was after 9pm. It was a long drive. Well Brian was driving and I was attempting to sleep, but I don’t really sleep well in cars. Brian stopped at a Taco Bell to get some food too. We finally got home at 1am Saturday morning and crashed into bed. I was glad we had the weekend to recover and get unpacked instead of heading right into work.

And that wraps up our trip. Now it’s back to regular activities with work and school. I needed that beach time, even if my sunburn was recovering for a bit. I ended up peeling a week later…a little delayed. It wasn’t even THAT bad, more annoying than anything. I’m glad as we came back to upstate NY, it was getting warmer. We actually came back and had a beautiful weekend even though we heard it rained like the whole time we were gone. I’m glad we missed that, but the rain is back again. I hope we get some nice summer days, but my classes are also keeping me pretty busy this summer.

Do you sunburn easily?

Have you been to Aruba or other Carribean islands? I would love to go to the virgin islands next, US or British.

Aruba Days 1 & 2

June 7, 2019 by Alicia Leave a Comment

We have finally made it to the Honeymoon recap…Aruba!!

So originally when thinking about a honeymoon, Brian and I wanted to head back to the Bahamas, but then Brian brought up Aruba I think. I couldn’t say no to Aruba (HELLO YOGA GIRL!!). Lately when planning trips as well, I like to use my vacation time to go to new places. Since we haven’t been to Aruba, why not. Brian decided in his brief time off from working this winter to take a scuba diving course. He did all the paperwork and coursework locally and was able to get the reference paperwork filled out to complete his open water dive in Aruba. This meant the first two days of our trip, he would be diving and I would be off doing my own thing. Aruba was perfect since I could take a yoga class in the morning at Yoga Girl’s studio and then just relax. My summer classes also started our first full day in Aruba so I had quite a bit of reading to do in the first week and homework to figure out.

After a whirlwind of a trip through Charleston (part 1 and 2), our wedding and a brief stop in Atlanta, I was ready for some downtime. I booked an Airbnb studio apartment that was basically around the corner from Yoga Girl’s studio. I still drove there. I probably could have walked in daylight, but there are also crazy drivers in Aruba and it was just easier to drive and park in the back. We arrived on Sunday night and immediately headed to the grocery store before they closed. We had a grill to use and a cool bar area outside by the pool in our backyard. Brian grilled up some kebabs and it was the perfect dinner. Then we settled in planning our week.

Monday morning, we were up early so I could drive Brian to the other side of the island (a whole 45 minute drive, small island). Also there are basically no stop signs in Aruba. There are many yield signs and circles to force you to slow down. Also the average driving speed was between 40-60kph which is only between 20-30mph so really not very fast which makes sense with all the circles at intersections.

Once I dropped Brian off for the day, I headed right to yoga. I was able to look around some of the studio, but they were filming in the main room. Since I arrived early though, I started chatting with another woman visiting from the New Jersey area and who happens to have a house in the Charleston area. She has a daughter who recently graduated from college and I was telling her about my online MBA program at Penn State in addition to all my traveling. It was nice chatting for a while. I often find people in yoga are just so open and easy to talk to.

It was only an hour class so it went by quickly. I was actually glad because the air was shut off during the class and it was quite humid and warm in the room meaning I was slipping on my mat. I purchased a travel mat just for this trip, but plan to use it going forward as well. It was no slip for a while until my hands and feet were sweating so much I could actually do chaturanga correctly by sliding over my toes. We moved and flowed and for the class being titled “power yoga”, it was not as intense as I was expecting, but still a fun time and perfect way to start my morning. Afterward, I checked out the café and grabbed a green smoothie. I started to talk to another girl there asking where she was visiting from. She was from the PA and Philadelphia area and we started talking about that and yoga retreats, yoga girl and travel. She actually did a yoga retreat with Yoga Girl in Aruba last year and it was cool to hear about that experience. Maybe one day for me. We talked about other islands and travel as well and she mentioned a few restaurants to check out in Aruba for a nice romantic meal for me and Brian. We could have kept chatting, but her ride was there and I wanted to head back for some lunch.

After eating and checking on my emails from my teachers to start the summer classes, I started reading my supply chain book and then spent a while writing. It was so nice to have that quiet and down time. Around 2pm, I headed back to the other side of the island to chill out on Baby Beach and wait for Brian. Apparently I made perfect timing because Brian saw me pull in and had finished early. I sat down on the beach and he appeared shortly after. In the time I took to cover my body in sunscreen and read a few pages of my book, Brian went to grab a bite to eat and returned. I took a quick dip in the water which was super warm, but I didn’t want to leave my stuff on the beach too long, so I headed back to my stuff and Brian was tired and ready to go anyway.

Back to the house, Brian wanted to take a nap, so I brought my supply chain book outside and read for a while by the pool. I did take a quick dip in the pool, but then as the sun started to set and the breeze picked up, I was content reading by the pool and staying dry. The wind was challenging when reading and taking notes, but I made it work and it was nice to just be comfy outside in a bikini.

Somehow 2 hours went by and I didn’t even have my watch on, but I was starting to drain from the reading so I checked on Brian and woke him up basically. I found a restaurant nearby that sounded good, Dragonfly, and we headed out. I got orange chicken and a mojito because when a mojito is on the menu, I usually get one to try. Brian got a huge salad and some sushi.

I realized as we were out for dinner that it gets dark at 7pm which seemed so early because we are getting used to the sun being out later at home. Aruba doesn’t do daylight savings time so they were on Eastern time while we were there, but also not as many daylight hours which was an adjustment.

Day 2

Tuesday morning I dropped off Brian and then headed to SUP yoga. There were only 4 of us in the class so it was nice and small. The balance is definitely challenging on a board and we had awesome boards for yoga, Boga Yoga boards (putting that on my future wish list but maybe when I get a new car SUV to carry it and have time to SUP). There was also a huge starfish in between my board and the person next to me. I wish I had brought my Go Pro out for a picture as it was beautiful and pink. We told our teacher after class and she said it was rare to see them in that swim area. We left it where it was though as to not disturb it, but I was a bit afraid of falling off my board and stepping on it because we were only about hip deep.

When I got home I ate some lunch and had a bit of time to work before I headed out to pick up Brian around 1. Brian only had a half day of diving to finish.

In the afternoon, Brian napped and I worked on homework. It was really the perfect balance for me.

Then we headed out to Eagle beach. Apparently it’s the 3^rd best beach in the world according to TripAdvisor, but I wasn’t overally impressed having been to many Australia beaches. I did have fun playing with my new Go Pro.

We didn’t spend too long there before heading to the grocery store. The traffic was bad as we drove. We saw some people just drive over gravel to cut across the parking lot and then make their own space. The driving in Aruba is something else for sure. Also people pull out in front of you all the time because that is just the way they drive down here. If you wait to pull out, you will be waiting forever, so you have to be a little aggressive.

We got back around 6 and Brian cooked up Tuna for himself and a steak kebabs for me. We also skewered some brussel sprouts and cooked those on the grill to eat. It was a nice evening. Brian and I sat outside on our computers and working on our own things. I had my first supply chain class which I enjoyed while sitting outside at our little bar patio.

On days 3 and 4 we were finally doing activities together and I’ll come back with another post for that.
