Happy Friday! I hope you had a fantastic week. Here’s what I was up to!
How I Earned Money This Week

We had a guest from Belgium stay in our Airbnb all week. She was visiting for a conference at UMD.
-
Dan got his bi-monthly paycheck on Monday.
How I Spent Money This Week
-
Dan and I were in Los Angeles from Saturday night until Wednesday afternoon. We tried to keep our spending fairly low (aside from the things Dan could expense), but we did have a little bit of fun! We had drinks in the cool hotel bar, tried out a local brewery, and saw the live show of Put Your Hands Together at UCB Franklin. We also ate quite a bit of food.
-
We bought the final flight we’ll be taking while in Thailand for our honeymoon!
-
I treated myself to this Unladylike pin and can’t wait to wear it around.
-
We are trying out another meal delivery kit, this time it’s Home Chef. I had a coupon for $35 off my first order, so we’re getting a bunch of meals for a great price. Get $30 off your first order if you use my link!
