What a week Western New York has been through. While we still have a lot of snow to remove and some time before we can get back to any sort of "norm," Western New York residents have shown that they are strong and they can get through anything...together! Make the most of the situation you are in and remember to stay positive. Have a safe weekend!

Happy Halloween!! This week has reminded me that you can never plan to far ahead because you never know what is going to happen. For me, being a planner, that is a struggle I deal with more often than not, but I'm learning to accept things for the way they are. I hope everyone has a great Halloween and a fabulous weekend! -B

The past 8 days have been fun, Walt Disney World truly is one of the happiest places on earth. With that being said, I know there was a lot of activity back home in Buffalo and I'm happy to be back. The first half of my weekend will be spent volunteering and the second half will focus on catching up on things that built up while I was on vacation. Below are just a few of my favorite pictures from this past week in Orlando. Have a great weekend.

Its been a good week, volunteering, catching up on things that I have been putting to the side and planning ahead to the next couple of weeks. Even though the weather isn't supposed to be that great, I'm looking forward to picking pumpkins with my niece and sister on Saturday and Sunday I'm looking forward to attending {as a guest} the Bridal Celebration at Asbury Hall.

Its Friday and I made it through my first full season at work. While it felt long, looking back at it, it went by so quickly. We head into the Holiday weekend and while it's still technically summer, I can't believe school starts back up next week and Fall is right around the corner. This weekend is going to be full of family time, relaxing and catching up on some things on my "to-do" list. Have a great weekend!

This week is a pretty sad, but happy one as I say goodbye to two great friends. While I'm sad that they are leaving, I'm happy for the opportunities that came their way and am wishing them nothing, but great things in their future. While Buffalo is losing two amazing people, NY and DC are gaining two amazing people. Have a wonderful weekend. -B
