Almost the weekend!!! I had a weird cold last week that finally turned into a runny nose this week that turned into a 3-day headache. Maybe the germs are different here in Texas, but I’m ready to feel normal again! I did make it to a Rangers game on Monday and trivia night on Tuesday – trying to make the best of my weeknights since Matt is already busy. He did come home tonight for a classic burger and fry…

Happy Labor Day! I’m enjoying a fun-filled weekend with my parents, who are visiting Dallas! I introduced my mom to the beer-rita at the Katy Trail Ice House! She’s now requesting them at Christmas dinner. It’s our last hurrah in this extended wedding-honeymoon-Dallas summer extravaganza, because I’m starting work tomorrow and Matt starts next Monday. I’ve always felt really uncomfortable with unemployment and I promised myself I’d take my time with this search so that I could find the right…
I’ve gotten quite a few requests for snaps of our new space – so here it is! The best part is that it’s on the 7th floor with lots of windows, so it gets amazing light. Since we went with a one bedroom, the apartment is basically one big room with a little study in the back. I like the open floor plan, but I also think it makes it feel a bit cluttered at times. We replaced our guest…
The wedding feels so long ago. Even though I’ve already blogged about it and shared pictures, all of the snaps were from Kath’s DSLR. The pictures from our photographer, Theo Milo, were ready once I got back from the honeymoon and they are fabulous!!!! But I had to wait for the disk to make its way to Texas before I could share them. I love them so much and am thrilled with how they turned out. Theo was super easy…
-Remember when I said it didn’t feel that hot here because of the humidity? Yeah, that was a cold front and it’s so freakin hot. Luckily, we had another come through yesterday and it feels wonderful again. Matt and I checked out the arboretum today, which is so beautiful! -Loved how lush and green everything is. -Happy hours around here are amazing. -I finished season one of Revenge yesterday. It was soooo good, but sure gives me the creeps. -I…
Hello from the big D! I’ve been in Dallas for a week now, and it finally feels like home. This is the first time I’ve moved with lots of furniture, and it took a long time to get everything arranged and unpacked. I’m so ready to stay in one place for a little while! Of course, I’ve already had some lovely meals – Matt and I drove to Dallas in my car and stopped in Knoxville, TN on the first…
Hi Friends, Although I don’t have any official pictures back from our photographer yet, I wanted to do a more detailed recap of the wedding day. My sister was able to capture some of the day with her awesome camera, so she shared all of these photos with me! June 1st started around 8am for me. Despite being woken up by a strange garage door around 6, I had a wonderful night’s sleep. I went for a jog by myself…
It feels like I’ve been waiting forever for this day! Today we leave for our honeymoon in Europe and I’m beyond excited. All I want to do is eat, drink, relax, and take in the culture of each and every one of our stops. Matt and I have never been to Europe together and neither of us has been to most of the places we are visiting! We are starting out with visits to the islands of Mykonos and Santorini,…
I can’t believe it’s been five years since college! It was so much fun to return to campus for our reunion. We stayed in the dorms – it was very festive, but I can’t believe how small those rooms are. And the beds are terribly uncomfortable. I didn’t do a whole lot of sleeping though:) Highlights of the weekend included seeing my friends again and catching up with those who weren’t at the wedding, walking around the adorable town of…
