I have been burning the candle at both ends as my mom likes to say. From my grandfather's hospitalization to friends and family visiting, it has been a hectic fall thus far. To top it off, my first trip as a newly minted 27 year old will be a weekend getaway to visit my friend Jenny in her hometown of San Francisco!
