-Saturday is my one year anniversary! It’s been a wonderful year of marriage:) I just keep thinking about all the things that were happening at this time last year and I wish I could relive it all. At least some of this is still in the freezer!!!!! : -To celebrate, we’re combining our wedding anniversary with Matt’s 30th and taking a big trip! -I have enough yoga classes under my belt now that I’m starting to relax and really enjoy…

How’s it going out there? I’m pumped for a long weekend. Matt has Monday off, and he’s been working like crazy, so I know he deserves a break. I have Monday off too, although I don’t really think I have earned a holiday working part-time:) We’re sticking around here and planning to check out Fort Worth on Saturday. A stay-cation of sorts. All I’m craving is a good burger. I haven’t been blogging much because there really isn’t much going…
-I loved Caitlin’s post on challenging your own personal narrative – surrounding yourself with positivity is one of the most important pieces of advice out there, and it’s been essential for me this year. Plus, looking on the bright side of things and associating yourself with positive people might be a sign of emotional intelligence! -I’ve started marking overnight oatmeal to take with me to work and it’s such a nice morning treat. I’d forgotten how much I love it.…
Oh hey. Happy spring. And happy 60th birthday to my mom! I’m very jealous that she’s celebrating with the rest of the fam! It’s been a busy week here, and I loved it! I had a bunch of interviews Wednesday and started working at Equinox this week. Although I’ve been substitute teaching since the fall, it’s been less consistent lately and I just needed more steady income. It’s also nice to have more structure to my week, as it looks…
-I’ve been counting down the minutes until Friday because, well, it’s Friday, but also because I get to eat Tex-Mex. I become more obsessed with every passing minute in Texas. -Speaking of obsessed, see below: -I went out to dinner with a new friend on Tuesday and it was such a nice weeknight treat. We had a beer with dinner and talked for over two hours (that’s a spicy shrimp wrap with slaw, btw). Week night outings are one of…
-I’ve been eating bowls all week – farro bowl with veggie burger, rice bowl with chickpeas and curry sauce, pasta bowl with chicken sausage and red sauce, and a quinoa bowl with Mexican toppings (sidenote: I took home some of the salsa from Blue Mesa Grill that was served at the party and it is the absolute best I’ve ever had!! I must get more!) -The daffodils are blooming in Dallas and temps are warming up. Was that winter? If…
-Snow day! We had beautiful, huge chunks of snow falling for most of the day today. Matt worked from home and really wanted to get out of the house, so he’s taking me out for a glass of half priced wine at the happy hour around the corner. It’s the little things that make me giddy. -I finally made this steak from HowSweet this week and loved it. I’ve been eating the sauce on everything for days. . -Nordstrom lost…
-I have to admit, I’m not that sad to see January go! -There’s nothing quite like a new jar of drippy almond butter. -Wolf of Wall Street is just insane. -I tried a new healthy fast food restaurant concept last night called Start. The space was cute and the food was great for ‘fast’ food. Mahi wrap with sweet tots: -My friend just adopted a pug, and now I kinda want one. -I love the Superbowl because it’s an excuse…
-Where did this week go? Is it true that time moves faster as you get older? -Matt and I scored free Mavs tickets this week. The people-watching was fabulous – people sure get dressed up to see sports in Dallas. The game-watching was fun too:) -It seems like there have been a lot of House Hunters International episodes lately where couples just quit their jobs and move abroad. Matt always comments that he wouldn’t mind uprooting, especially when you can…
