Life Lately on Rhyme & Reason With Jillian

filed under:

Life Lately has been so fun! April was full of some amazing trips and amazing weekends! I flew to Charleston on the first on the month for my spring break (teachers have the best schedule!) and was there for two weeks apart from a little trip down to Harbour Island in the Bahamas (yes, the school I teach at has a two-week spring break!). I then headed back to Los Angeles to go back to work. The weekend after was the absolute best weekend because I flew to Phoenix for a bridal shower that 3 of my mom’s best friends threw for me. They did the most beautiful job in the world! I can’t wait to share the photos with my Rhyme & Reason readers. I left the weekend feeling so fortunate to have the best family and friends who have made our engagement the most special time for Edwin and me! Thank you to everyone who showered us in so much love! The last week of April was a busy week of work with lots of drinks, dinners, and workouts scheduled for after work. My friend then hosted the most amazingly done costume birthday party. Just last weekend, I headed to Alabama for my brother’s college graduation! Such an exciting time!
