Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, as I’ve been out and about before I hunker down for these last few months. Matt and I traveled back to NC for a quick visit with my parents and a shower put on by the lovely ladies of the church I grew up attending. On Thursday, my parents took us out to the new Durham Hotel’s rooftop bar, and we met up with my good friend, Brooke and her husband! My,…

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…
We had too much fun this weekend! Matt’s sister came to visit and we had all kinds of good eats and drinks. Friday, we made homemade margs – one of my favorite things since we bought really good tequila over the summer – and then we walked to Victor Tangos. I can never get enough of that place. There’s an energetic vibe, the cocktails are creative and ever-changing, and the food is fun. I had a drink made with house-made…
Hello! I’m back from a quick trip to NC! The timing couldn’t have been worse for this wedding, but I couldn’t bare to miss the opportunity to see friends and family. I flew in late Friday and back on Sunday. I got to see both my sister and Mazen and my parents for Friday dinner! We hit up Tyler’s in our old stomping ground in Durham. I enjoyed a beer and a pork belly sandwich before heading over to the…
I had a wonderful trip east! It was so nice to be back in NC and see so many family members and friends. I visited my grandma in Baltimore first, where I met up with my mom. We did some shopping and lots of eating. I was even able to see Matt’s mom who drove up and joined us for dinner! On Friday, I headed down to NC to my childhood best friend’s wedding. After a year, it felt…
I want to say it was a super relaxing weekend – that everything is all set and ready to go and we enjoyed salads and tranquility. Instead we ran around the house like crazy people and then engaged in some emotional eating afterwards:) Life is good. I didn’t exactly plan for the whole packing thing, and now I’m regretting some of the DIY projects I took on – why would I think it’s a good idea to transport boxes of…
Congrats to Matt for not only making it through two challenging years of business school at Duke, but for getting awesome grades along the way and a fabulous job in the end!! I’m so proud:) Graduation weekend is complete and was fantastic!!!! Next up, wedding.…
I had the pleasure of attending two baby showers this weekend! Don’t ya just love shower food?! This was like a nutty pineapple carrot cake combo involving cream cheese and buttercream!!!! Cheers to [one of the] lovely moms-to-be:) The second shower on Sunday had fabulous food too! Both showers were gender-neutral, which meant lots of yellows and greens. I had never had mint m & m’s before – soo addicting! After Saturday’s shower, Matt and I grabbed pizza with friends…
The highlight of my weekend was definitely a little engagement party we had at Six Plates wine bar on Thursday!! A couple of of friends got together and hosted and it was so sweet! I don’t think anyone has ever planned a party for me and it just meant so much to have all our friends gather together to celebrate. Of course, since it was at a wine bar, there was wine! Its so fun being able to choose wines…
