Hello out there! Are you guys tired from the holidays? I sure am! We packed our bags yet again and headed to Hillsborough for Christmas. It was actually good to get out of our house because we were forced to take a break from the never-ending to-do list that came with moving into our house. My sister’s fam came down from Charlottesville and I got to meet baby Birch! Gosh he was tiny and very cute! Emerson got along great…
We had a relaxing and fun-filled weekend, which was nice after a sad week. Matt lost a classmate and was glad to have a distraction when we hosted a taco night for one of his former co-workers + wife. I made margaritas for everyone in an effort to quickly use up some of our liquor. We picked up brisket from the local butcher and bought all the fixins’ for some epic tacos. We need to do this more often! It was such…
We had a big weekend over here! My parents were in town, we celebrated Emerson’s birthday on Friday, and then Matt and I went on an overnight date in the city! We kicked off the long weekend with my mom and dad’s arrival on Thursday. Emerson hadn’t seen them in a few months and was so excited, but then was super shy when they got here. We headed straight for the Gap Outlet and my mom treated Emerson to some…
Hello and happy fall!! It was 60 degrees outside when we went to the park this morning, and quite chilly in comparison to the Texas temps we had this weekend. We traveled to Dallas for a close college friend’s wedding. It was our first time back since moving and made me happy and sad all at the same time. We went straight from the airport to a play date at a friend’s house. She had tacos from the amazing Velvet…
Of summer that is. Anyone else tired after the weekend? I feel like we’re rushing to cram all of the fun into these last few weeks of summer. My in-laws came to visit from Maryland, so we were out and about all weekend; we did a ton of walking. Before they arrived, I took the ferry to Manhattan to meet Matt on Friday. We didn’t really have a plan, but ended up strolling to Tribeca and stumbling upon the 911…
Despite hours in the car and boatloads of New York traffic, we had a terrific weekend in Boston. It’s hard to believe we moved from Boston in 2011, and have only been back once! I wish we could have spent a whole week there, visiting the restaurants and our old hood, but we had people to see! We visited friends from grad school up in Winchester on Thursday and Friday, and then friends from Davidson in Boston on Saturday. Both…
We had a glorious summer weekend in New York. Friday, Matt was able to leave work a bit early, so we made the spontaneous decision to explore Battery Park. I took the ferry over from Brooklyn and we met up on Wall St. We enjoyed walking along the water and hanging out on the grass before riding the coolest carousel I’ve ever seen! The sea glass carousel has beautiful fish that go up and down and also rotate on the…
We had a super relaxing weekeind over here. How about you? I was craving takeout on Friday, but Matt’s face was so sad when I suggested we skip pizza, that I went out and bought olives and Matt threw together a pizza. It was a chilly day and red wine sounded delightful. Matt and I have been watching the new Queer Eye and enjoyed two episodes with dinner. We’re trying so hard to go to sleep earlier, but ended up…
For once, the long weekend actually felt really long! I realized Matt hasn’t had a day off where we stayed in Brooklyn since Christmas, so it was wonderful to just relax at home for an extra day. Matt’s parents actually came up on Saturday, and we had so much fun showing them our new home. We spent Saturday morning going for a run and cleaning our apartment, and then we hit the promenade as soon as my in-laws arrived. It…
