…is the question my yoga teacher posed tonight, and man do I have answers for her. I’m celebrating that my body can do yoga; that I get to fill it with giant bowls of food for dinner each night; and that I alleviated my digestive issues. I’m celebrating that Christmas break starts one week from tomorrow, and I am able to go home to NC. I’m celebrating that Raphael finally told Jane that he made a mistake on Jane the…

Hey, hey. I hope you guys had a good holiday. It’s been a while – I was swamped last week, and needed a little extra time. The three weeks between Thanksgiving are Christmas are a sprint at work. But I was ready for it because my break was super relaxing. We had fabulous weather in Maryland, and Matt’s parents took great care of us. I think I slept for 9 or 10 hours most nights! I came home to a…
-It’s this time of year that I fall in love with Dallas again – the weather has been picture perfect and the best part is that it usually lasts. -I’ve been trying to switch to clean lip balm, and I’m having the hardest time – my lips get so cracked and gross that I go running back to the Blistex. -We had a low key weekend, including Moroccan food at Souk – I loved the lamb tagine, Lebanese wine, and…
Matt has been planning a reunion of his college friends in Texas for almost a year! I’ve gotten to know the wives over the years, and it makes for a really fun group. It was a weird weekend, because of the sad news abroad. I wanted to be present, but my thoughts were with the people of Paris often, and we were glued to the TV on Friday. We rented a house on Lake Travis through TurnKey – they actually…
It was a lovely weekend with some seriously delicious eats. My cold took over my life for quite a long time, and it just felt amazing to feel back to normal this weekend. Friday night, we stopped by to see friends as they put their kids to bed. We had a quick drink, and then left them to enjoy their peace and quiet. On the way home, I stumbled upon some sweet potato gnocchi at Whole Foods – I made…
– I finally got my flu shot today, and it hurt more than I ever remember. I can feel the soreness setting in. – Has anyone seen Jane the Virgin? I’ve watched the first few episodes, and I like the pace – kind of a different show. – Since turning 30, I’ve struggled to stay present – I think the milestone bought up a lot of questions about things I want to accomplish or experience. – I heard Glennon speak…
Hope y’all had a nice Halloween. Can you believe it’s November? Friday was a glorious evening. I headed straight to Whole Foods for the wine tastings and ingredients for lasagna, and then got the kitchen all cozy with candles and music for a night of cooking. I also picked up this red blend from one of our favorites of the Mendoza trip. I found this awesome black lava salt cashew cheese to use in the lasagna. It was a creamy…
Hello, friends. What’s new? There’s nothing too exciting in my world. Is it ok to start counting down the days until Thanksgiving? I came down with a cold last week, and it’s been lingering for days now. Thus, we had a really low key weekend. I’ve discovered a new Asian-fusion place, so Friday we got takeout and stayed dry from the pouring rain inside on the couch. We watched Jurassic World, and I quite enjoyed it. Loved the panoramic view…
I had a fabulous birthday weekend, and now it’s back to normal life as a thirty-year-old! I didn’t take too many pictures, but snagged a few from friends’ phones. Matt and I picked up these fun number balloons and the cake (!) on Saturday morning, and then I met my friend Liz for a mimosa and a blow-out. We started with some day-drinking at the patio of Henry’s Majestic and then had an intimate dinner of about 20 at Origin…
