Hey, hey. I hope you guys had a good holiday. It’s been a while – I was swamped last week, and needed a little extra time. The three weeks between Thanksgiving are Christmas are a sprint at work. But I was ready for it because my break was super relaxing. We had fabulous weather in Maryland, and Matt’s parents took great care of us. I think I slept for 9 or 10 hours most nights! I came home to a…
-It’s this time of year that I fall in love with Dallas again – the weather has been picture perfect and the best part is that it usually lasts. -I’ve been trying to switch to clean lip balm, and I’m having the hardest time – my lips get so cracked and gross that I go running back to the Blistex. -We had a low key weekend, including Moroccan food at Souk – I loved the lamb tagine, Lebanese wine, and…
Matt has been planning a reunion of his college friends in Texas for almost a year! I’ve gotten to know the wives over the years, and it makes for a really fun group. It was a weird weekend, because of the sad news abroad. I wanted to be present, but my thoughts were with the people of Paris often, and we were glued to the TV on Friday. We rented a house on Lake Travis through TurnKey – they actually…
You may have figured from Instagram that I was in Seattle over the weekend. You see, I’m turning 30 this week, so Matt took me on an adventure for fall break. We spent one night/day in the city eating our way through the incredible food scene (gluten free paradise!!!), and then we explored Whidbey Island. I’m in love with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest (I had never been…) We did some hiking and visited a few wineries, but we…
I traveled back to Matt’s home state of Maryland this weekend for a lovely wedding by the water. Though it was a quick trip, we were able to spend Friday night with Matt’s parents in Annapolis. They took us out on the town for an awesome seafood dinner and then to a prohibition-era bourbon bar with delicious cocktails. It was so nice to see them and spend some time in the beautiful harbor town. On Saturday, we made the short…
Summer break is over and I’m back to school tomorrow. I was seriously spoiled so I know it’s time to do some work! I spent a week with my family at Carolina beach back in North Carolina. It was super relaxing and we spent our days at the beach and our evenings cooking seafood, drinking wine, and playing games. The wonderful weather and beautiful beach made me miss NC! Once I was home last week, I went into serious nesting…
Amsterdam was beautiful and so romantic! For this leg of the trip, we used Matt’s Marriott rewards to stay at the Renaissance Amsterdam. We got in late on the first evening, so we strolled around and grabbed dinner at a little Dutch restaurant. Matt was in Belgian beer (well Belgian style beer) heaven! The next day, our good friends Lauren and Evan arrived! We were so excited to meet up with them, as we had been planning this trip since…
Bordeaux was hot! Everyone told us the 100 degree temps were rare, but the winemakers were thrilled about the hot weather. We arrived late in the afternoon, and quickly changed for dinner. We stayed in Le Boutique Hotel where we had a teeny tiny room and wonderful service. We knew we wouldn’t spend any time in the room, so we looked for something simple. There was an awesome natural store one block from the hotel where I was able to…
