FitBloggin 2011 recap

Everyone at FitBloggin' was seriously amazing. I can't believe how nice and sweet everyone was. Bloggers are awesome! Kerry and Sean were some of the first friends that I made on Thursday night.

Generating good karma

I had really enjoyed it while I was taking the courses, but I just wasn't interested in pursuing further…
