Reviewing April 2022

in , by Lavender Elizabeth, May 02, 2022
What an incredible month! April was filled with quality time with both friends and family, celebrations, and spontaneous evenings out. As luck would have it, my sister came to Chicago for work, so I was able to spend time with her, eating our way through Chicago Restaurant Week, staying up too late chatting and laughing at TikTok videos, and working out. I also saw my family during a trip to New York City, complete with a Yankees game and half-marathon, and traveled to Nashville to celebrate a wedding. Read on for a glimpse into my month of April.

 Catching up on Lavender Elizabeth's April
 
MY FAVORITE APRIL MOMENTS
 
Sunday Dinners
My friends and I started having "family" dinners over the weekends that we were all in town. We would grocery shop and cook together, and then enjoy the evening chatting and playing games. It's been such a fun way to spend time together, try new foods, and utilizing our friends' backyard. ;) I can't wait to maintain this weekend tradition as we continue through the summer.
 
Betty & Sam's Chinese Tea Ceremony
In the middle of the month, we traveled to Nashville to celebrate Betty & Sam's Chinese Tea Ceremony. It was such an incredible day! We were immersed in Betty's culture, learning about the different traditions that mean so much to her family. After the ceremony, we played games, took far too many shots, and spent time celebrating the couple. Next up - their American wedding!
 
Family NYC Trip
My whole family traveled to New York City to cheer on my sister as she completed her first half marathon! She'd been training for months, so it was amazing to see her cross that finish line. I flew in early to finally work from my company's new headquarters and meet some of my team in person! Then, prior to Bethany's race, we attended a Yankees game, ate lunch on the water, and took our parents on a tour of the office.
