I knew this would happen.
After taking the longest break from blogging since I first began GML almost two years ago, the thought of trying to sum up my time “off” has been quite the daunting one. So for the sake of keeping things short and sweet, here’s a mostly-photo recap of the past week(+) of this life I’ve met. Let’s see…
Dinner at Beauty & Essex happened. Hands down one of my best meals in NYC (up there with Stanton Social).

A visit and high-heeled night on the town with my bestie-cousin-poo Liz happened.
 |
Ten hours of acting like 8-year-olds at Six Flags Great Adventure during Fright Fest happened.

Essentially living off of autumn-y baked goods happened…like pumpkin bread and miniature apple pies (a la Chelsey).
Well, I guess that wasn’t so tough… 
Things are finally winding down with this career transition, and I’m SO excited to share the details with you and get back to regular blogging! But for now, I’m off to the last official day at my job. YEAH. xoxo G
“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.”
Sounds like SUCH a fun time!!
I really like that quote at the bottom. Do you mind if I use it myself? And do you know who said it?
I don’t know who said it! It was in a devotional journal called “Promises for Life” I use, but there’s no source provided. Go ahead and use it, for sure!
Gracie you are SO SO SO GORGEOUS
wow, thanks so much sweet girl
You are so beautiful! Loving the fun! Six Flags adventures, I saw your instagram pics too, you guys crack me up!
Excited to hear the news and have a good last day at your current job!

Great photos, Gracie! Love love love the shoes. Hope you enjoyed your break from blogging. Sometimes it’s nice not to “report back” and just enjoy life, don’t you think?
I used to always go to Six Flags for Fright Fest-so much fun!! I can’t wait to hear more about your career transition, congratulations!
Wowza! Look at those heels! I can barely walk with heels with like 2 inches.
I always loved going to 6 Flags during Fright Fest. I actually went to 6 Flags earlier this summer, and hadn’t been for like 6 years. It was fun!
I hope you liked the apple pies!
LOVED them!!! Going to make again soon 😀

Fright Fest sounds like a super fun time! My room mate and I are going to decorate our apartment for Halloween next weekend

Lookalike you had some great times! Do you have a really good camera Ordovician touted a photo editor to make your pictures look so vibrant?

Six Flags Great Adventure is my favorite… especially during Fright fest. My brother and I have so many silly hat photos like yours. I hope you went on Nitro… its my favorite ride there.
What a great quote. Simple reminder to embrace each day.
Yay, welcome back!
Looks like a fun week.
