I’m home after meeting the amazin Mazen and visiting his mom and dad in Charlottesville! Matt, my mom, and I drove up on Friday evening. We ate sandwiches in the car, but of course we brought a cake from our favorite Durham bakery to celebrate Mazen’s birthday! I think it got a little beat up on the car ride, but it still tasted fabulous. Matt is actually better with newborns than I am…he’s so calm and patient:) On Saturday, we…

Because we were waiting on Kath’s baby and thought we might go up to Virginia if he was born, we had absolutely no plans this weekend. Usually, we travel on long weekends or at least go to a bbq, but we really had nothing to attend. That never happens! After a somewhat crazy summer, it was won-der-ful! Aside from getting a ton done around the house and working hard on wedding stuff (and some honeymoon planning!), I drank my first…
Dinner with friends – such a simple way to spice up a week night! Matt and I met another couple at Geer St. Garden. I’d been here once before with my sister and parents in the winter, but today we got to sit in the beer garden! I had one last summer beer before I start thinking about the Octoberfests, brown ales, and pumpkin beers. I’d heard wonderful things about the Geer St. burger because they grind the meat in…
To be honest, most of my fun in Denver involved beer:) One of the bartenders told us it just surpassed Portland in terms of the city with the most breweries! But the fun also involved meeting up with friends (we had dinner with Matt’s buddy and his fiance and I had the above), as well as strolling around the city. I had never been to Denver before and I was blown away by how awesome it is! Great weather (well…
Well, we’ve been eating for 4 days and I’ve got lots to share with you. A big draw for us to vacation in Colorado was all the beer! I enjoyed a summer wheat beer from Odell and an amber from the Alaskan Brewing Co., while enjoying great view of the cute Yampa River. Happy hours seem to be big here and you can easily get a pint for $2! We stayed in a studio room at the Trailhead Lodge, which…
I was a little sad leaving Atlanta today, but Matt and I savored our last weekend together: Saturday, we got lunch at a little restaurant in Midtown and knocked out some work at the coffee shop. I just love how inexpensive the eats are down there. We shared this giant salad and a pizza for just $12! As we were walking around Midtown, we saw a sign for an open house. And since I looove looking at real estate, we…
Lots of great food and people at Matt’s summer associate conference in Texas this weekend. Boy am I tired though! Here’s a few highlights, including an unexpected wine tasting, Tex-mex, a bbq in the stockyards, and a visit to the Fort Worth Rodeo. Matt and I were also able to visit with a few of our good friends, which was a pleasant surprise on Saturday. I think I’ve got a few more pictures to upload tomorrow. Oh, and I had…
I love that there was a weekend in the middle of this week! Tuesday was Matt’s birthday, and since we love nothing more than eating out, I took him out! I had made reservations at a neighborhood restaurant, but once it started to pour, I changed our plans at the last minute. I figured since we had to drive, we might as well venture out of the neighborhood. So we headed to Rathbun’s in the Old Fourth Ward. We stopped…
Well, it’s been a very hooot and crazy-fun weekend. A visit with both sets of parents means lots of beer drinking and also shopping for bridesmaids and mother of the groom dresses (which was a success!!) Matt’s parents are still here for the day, so I’ll post a recap when I get a moment this evening.…
