There’s not much happening with wedding planning these days – all the big stuff is done and it’s a little too soon to work on the details. But, I have been dreaming about shoes! I love shoes (I mean, who doesn’t?), but I consider myself a pretty practical shoe shopper – I buy brown, black, and nude flats and comfortable heels, and aside from flip flops and the occasional summer wedge, that’s about it! Some of my friends have hot…

What a wonderful birthday it was! I felt like such a lucky girl all day long on Thursday! I actually had a crazy day at work with meetings and dealing with a suspension, so the day flew by. After work, I took myself on a jog and then showered for a night of celebrating. My parents came over, and we opened a Sangiovese from the NY Times Wine list (best present ever from Matt’s parents ~ 2 years ago). …
I’m happy to be in the swing of things at work. I feel settled, but I also think the adrenaline of starting a new job has worn off because I just hit a wall of tiredness this week. Thus the random wordless post yesterday – I crawled in bed at 9 and wanted nothing more than to sleep! I really haven’t been feeling the gym this week, so when Matt suggested grabbing dinner tonight in between his one million meetings,…
I didn’t expect to be sitting on a sandy beach on Saturday! But, we drove to Wilmington to do two cake tastings, and one of the bakeries was a few blocks from the beach. Given that we had a lot of cake to eat, Matt and I picked up a salad for a last minute beach picnic. Of course, we forgot a blanket, and since it was overcast and a little rainy, we decided to have lunch up on the…
It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I’ve actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really…
They are out! Addressing the save-the-dates has been hanging over me for a while. For one, it feels like the first big step in making the wedding official, so I was nervous to put them in the mail! And two, I really couldn’t send them out until my wedding website was all ready to go. I didn’t feel comfortable revealing a website that wasn’t complete because I anticipated that many guests would never go to the site again after the…
I meant to publish this post on Labor Day, but somehow it slipped through the cracks… My summer quickly came to an end three weeks ago, but for many others, summer officially ended with Labor Day. I was blessed to be able to enjoy a summer off (well, aside from babysitting) and was able to do some neat things because of my flexibility! Here are the highlights from a fun-filled summer: Getting Engaged!!! Being a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding.…
I’ve spent more time looking at bridesmaids dresses than wedding dresses on the internet! There will be seven of them after-all, so it’s a very important decision! I’m finding that there is a lot of variation in terms of color, but not much variation when it comes to fabric and style. There are a million polyester/satin-looking dresses, and of course, strapless dresses galore, but there’s not a whole lot in-between. I’m totally ok with strapless, but I know not everyone…
To my handsome and wonderful fiance- “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional” – Chili Davis Here’s to another year of growing young on this incredible journey! Though we celebrated with our families this weekend over a buttercream cookies-n-cream ice-cream cake, you bet I’m taking him out to dinner this evening:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!…
