-I think I have senioritis. This whole year time has moved so quickly yet the last two weeks are moving soo slowly. I’m getting very excited. I put in a proposal to do some work over the summer and I’m looking forward to two trips! -Matt and I have almost been married for 2 years! We have a wedding this weekend, so we celebrated early with the tasting menu at FT33 last weekend. The food was fantastic! My only complaint…

It’s the eve of a long weekend! I just went to a lovely yoga class, and now I’m relaxed and ready for Friday. Other than a dinner reservation, we don’t have much on the agenda. You? I owe yall a blog post from last weekend – Starting with Friday evening, Matt and I walked to our neighborhood bar for a dark n’ stormy. It’s been very dark and stormy for weeks here, so it was nice to get a moment…
I tried a new Mexican restaurant! There are endless options in Dallas, but I love that they are all a little different. El Bolero has a relaxed atmosphere with clean, modern decor. The place was packed, so Matt and I grabbed signature margaritas made with cilantro and lime. Sadly, the margs were really weak and nothing to write home about. Matt later ordered a blackberry, jalapeño, and tequila punch that was awesome though. I settled on a Chilean red with…
Matt and I hosted our very first Derby party this weekend. We had a small crowd at first, but closer to race time, we had a packed kitchen and started running low on bourbon! For the juleps, I made a simple syrup and then packed the jar of syrup with mint to sit in the fridge overnight. They were good! I made a simple spread of food because I wasn’t sure how hungry people would be at an afternoon party…
Can you believe it’s almost summer time? We’ve had a lot of rain here lately, but I know the summer sun is right around the corner! I’m really enjoying these quiet spring weekends, as I know the summer will be busy. We opened yet another bottle of wine that we loved on our trip on Friday night – I found this one at a local wine shop. We switched things up this week with fajitas, and I used awesome lime…
Another lovely weekend in the books. I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot lately! Matt and I have gotten into a routine on Fridays of making a pizza and opening a bottle of wine. This week was a wonderful bottle from our trip to Mendoza. Our pizzas are usually the same – olives, sheep’s manchego, spicy chicken sausage, and arugula salad on top. Saturday, I tried my first Crossfit class! I liked it a lot because it was…
Ahh, spring weekends. This one was simple and relaxed. I had a cold at the end of last week, so Friday was low key and lovely. I made enchiladas and Matt and I attempted to catch up on House of Cards. We’re making slow, but steady progress. Saturday, I went to my favorite class at the gym for one last time, because the instructor will be out on maternity leave:( It was awesome, and I’m hoping there’s a good sub.…
Oh hey, and happy belated Easter. Due to the holiday, I had Friday and Monday off from school, so I traveled east to Virginia to see my sister! Of course, my parents drove up from NC, and Matt’s family from MD, so we had a big gathering! Friday night, my parents offered to babysit, so we headed out on the town. We started at a cute bar called Alley Light, where we all ordered Bourbon! We moved on to Maya…
After the craziness of the past few weeks, it was glorious to have a weekend at home! The weather was perfect all three days. On Friday, I took a long walk and ended up at LOFT, where I scored a pair of black shorts 40% off. Matt and I made a pizza and drank wine and sat on the couch all night. That was lovely. On Saturday, we randomly invited some friends over for drinks on our deck. We were…
