Hello friends! I missed you all.. and lots to update you on (including a big change). First..
Welcome September! If you’ve been following my blog from the beginning, you know I love fall.. a big part due to a minor.. ok maybe major.. obsession with Pumpkin..
This morning there was no better time to bring back Pumpkin Oatmeal! I stirred in 1/3 c Pumpkin into 1/3 c Steel Cut Oats and topped it with a ~1/2 c plain Goat’s Milk Yogurt (sweetened with Vanilla Extract & Stevia), Unsweetened Coconut and Craisins..
My trip to Washington last weekend was fantastic! A girl could have no better family and friends to celebrate with. I got into Seattle late Thursday and we hit the road early Friday to head to Richland, WA (east side of the Cascade Mountains) for the wedding. The weather was perfection! We stopped at a winery along the way..
The wedding was Saturday evening and was so much fun! We danced and sang and perhaps I did a little overindulging.. haha.. but it was worth it and simply a blast!..
Me and my Mom with AnnMarie and her mom the night before..
The whole thing was outside on the grass.. she’s brave!
Monday I spent the day playing tourist in Seattle by wandering around Pike Place Market, and the flagship Nordstrom :) .. not going to lie, I wasn’t particularly excited to head back to Phoenix.. but not for long..
The biggest news.. I’m moving to AUSTIN, TX 
Remember a while back when I mentioned craving a change of scenery.. well Austin was at the top of the list for a number of reasons, and in the last week everything that needed to just fell into place. The syncronicity that went along with this simply could not be ignored, it feels right and I’m super excited! No better time! I’ll most likely be moving next weekend sometime. Which means I have a lot of packing and cabinet clearing meals in my future!
In Austin I’ll still be running Your Nourished Life, but am also looking for a marketing position in health, wellness or sports business. I’m at a point with YNL where I can see clients on the weekends and in the evening, and am looking for a full or part-time position. .. so if you know of anything!!!
As for my blogging future.. I’ll be back to normal posting with a few tweaks to add more topic posts, and not just my daily workouts and meals, as soon as possible… probably a couple before I leave (since my computer will be the last thing in the car).. then in full force onces I’m settled in TX.
Thank you all so much for your support, I’m excited for the future!

A will miss the people there for sure.. the summers, not so much, but definitely the people!
Wow…I did NOT see this one coming!! and it's coming in like…a week?!! Wow!!!! You are like me, once you decide to go/do something, you just do it, clearly! Ok best of luck on the move…I remember we had coffee together the day you moved into your current place; doesnt feel too long ago in many ways, in other ways, it feels like a lifetime ago just b/c I now am in CA and life is so different/better for me here

haha for real! It's been something I'd been thinking about, but the logistics were complicated, then it just sort of fell together. It's definitely a quick transition, but 'go big or go home'.. 'now or never'.. pick a cliche and I think it suits me
congratulations!! that is awesome that you feel the tug and it's a perfect time in your life and it is super exciting!!! wishing you a fantastic fantastic everything
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited & happy for you! Nothing like working at what you love.. or so I have heard!
Did not do that when I was younger.. but you have a whole life ahead & great stuff is a coming!
Yay! You’re coming to Texas!!! You’ll LOVE Austin! And you’ll definitely find a lot of clients and plenty of work opportunity in the fitness field. Plus, I’m only 2.5 hours away in Houston
