What’s Next

Life Travel Twenties

I’m home, and slightly sad that it’s over, but really just happy that everything was fabulous. The whole wedding weekend was probably the best weekend of my life, and it meant so much to me that friends and family traveled from all over the country. I’ll recap all three night soon! So what’s next? Well, I went back to work today – the official end of the school year isn’t until next week. Matt has already started some major cleaning…

Thoughts from a Tuesday

Life

-I packed up one of my offices today – crazy, and so exciting -Tornadoes scare the sh*t out of me and I can’t imagine what the people of OK must be going through – makes wedding decor seems like the stupidest thing in the world -Matt is keeping me sane by doing a million things – he made mini burgers tonight that turned out awesome! Can’t wait to eat more burgers at summer bbqs -I just got super excited to…

Picnic, bbq, and a fitting

Life Ramblings

Despite how crazy life is these days, yall know I fit a little relaxation into Friday and Saturday evenings! My brain has reached max capacity with details and planning, so I asked Matt to plan something low-key for Friday night. So we went on a picnic! We had hoped to check out the music at the American Tobacco Campus, but they no longer allow coolers – bummer! We made the best of it by finding a nice grassy patch outside…

Life

Matt and I had plans to dine with friends at The Lantern yesterday, but it was closed for a private function!

Our dinner dates were into sharing too, so we split a bunch of small plates and then Matt and I shared an entree: warm kale salad with mangoes, pork belly dumplings, pineapple,…

Life Ramblings The Working World

Exercise used to be my time to clear my head – now it’s the time that my to-do list fills my head and ruins my me time. We’ve been eating giant salads over here, because they are quick and easy and good for wedding bodies. Work got crazy this week, which can be expected for this time of year – what is it about the end of school and kids acting crazy? Sleep and I are BFF. I’m going to…

The Weeks Fly By

Life Ramblings

I’m sure you can guess why I’ve been mia here – on the home stretch!! It was a busy week, so I ate a ton of meals out – not the best for healthy eating, but oh so convenient when there’s no time to cook. And also so fun during the week! On Monday, my mom and I got together to start working on the escort cards and we grabbed salads at Panera. Tuesday, one of my bridesmaids and I…
