I squeezed in a lot of action during the past couple of days in Miami. Matt and I wanted a quick and warm getaway, and when I saw a flight sale I thought, why not South Beach? It was so.much.fun and quite different than many other place I’ve visited in the US. I loooved the international vibe and the European style sidewalk cafes. And the art deco architecture is so neat. Yall know me – eatin’ and drinkin’ is what…

Well, I guess it’s clear that cranberry sauce is the least popular of the Thanksgiving dishes! I’m surprised at how many people don’t like the sweet potatoes though… We usually go to Matt’s house in Maryland for Thanksgiving, but this year we’re heading to Bald Head Island! Since our wedding will be on the island this June, we thought it would be nice to show Matt’s parents the venue, the chapel, and the island in general! In years past, I’ve…
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…
One more week of work!!!! So pumped to be on summer vacation so I can dream about wedding details! Did I mention we have a wedding date, because we have a date! June 1, 2013 – I will be a bride (knock on wood). That’s tomorrow! Matt’s browsing coral bow ties as we speak:) I’m thinking of trying on some dresses in a few weeks (just for fun). Next on my to-do list is picking out save-the-dates and making a…
We ended our beach trip with one last champagne celebration and our tradition of beach donuts on Tuesday morning! And now I’m back and home, finishing up my second-to-last week of work and frantically packing for our ten-week trip to Atlanta (I’m driving Matt down Friday and then returning to finish the school year). Between our trip to Boston, our engagement, the family beach trip, the end of the school year, packing and moving to Atlanta, trying to figure out…
Cause I’m doin’ the vacation thing, a picture heavy post for you: Spiked my fruit smoothie with rum:) Kath says the baby is lovin’ the ocean breezes… We witnessed a beach wedding and a perfect rainbow! I didn’t think my fish tacos were very good:( but my ice cream pie was a HUGE hit. Drinks at the Tiki Bar! And a lovely dinner out! Home tomorrow:(…
My family and I are at the beach for the long weekend! Because of Matt’s internship, we won’t be able to do a beach week this summer, so we came early. We were the last to arrive, but my family saved “the engagement suite” for Matt and I! Just kidding – all the rooms are really nice. We are in a condo at Carolina beach and I’m very impressed. They have everything you could ever need here. I might not…
Boats. 61 and sunny. Fat Tire. Not-your-average-hushpuppies (stuffed with cheese and jalapenos). Blackened flounder. Bird songs. Bf. The marsh view. Sunset. Island escape.…
Sometimes simple is best. Bow-ties with feta chicken sausage, arugula, and white cheddar. Hit the spot. Bow ties with shredded cheese always reminds me of one of my friends who would make “homemade mac n cheese” when we were in middle school. Tonight is the infamous basketball rivalry and I’m looking forward to a beer on a weeknight. I don’t have my hopes up though, because I’ve learned that the outcome is pretty much random. That’s why it’s such a…
