I had a fabulous birthday weekend, and now it’s back to normal life as a thirty-year-old! I didn’t take too many pictures, but snagged a few from friends’ phones. Matt and I picked up these fun number balloons and the cake (!) on Saturday morning, and then I met my friend Liz for a mimosa and a blow-out. We started with some day-drinking at the patio of Henry’s Majestic and then had an intimate dinner of about 20 at Origin…

Oh hey, and happy belated Easter. Due to the holiday, I had Friday and Monday off from school, so I traveled east to Virginia to see my sister! Of course, my parents drove up from NC, and Matt’s family from MD, so we had a big gathering! Friday night, my parents offered to babysit, so we headed out on the town. We started at a cute bar called Alley Light, where we all ordered Bourbon! We moved on to Maya…
I had a fabulous birthday weekend – feels like each year gets better! Since the real day fell on a Saturday, Matt planned the day. I told him I wanted to relax and eat cake! First, I took Matt to my favorite gym class at Equinox, and then we showered and headed out on foot for cupcakes. We stopped at two different bakeries and acquired 5 cupcakes for the evening. We also ducked into a fun salad place for lunch…
How’s it going out there? Matt and I had a wonderful anniversary celebration – we had dinner at the famous Fearings (out of this world) and the enjoyed the top layer of our wedding cake afterwards. It was a little beat up from riding to Texas in a cooler for 3 days, but it somehow survived. I think we were too full to appreciate it right after dinner, but boy did in taste good the next day! This week has…
-Saturday is my one year anniversary! It’s been a wonderful year of marriage:) I just keep thinking about all the things that were happening at this time last year and I wish I could relive it all.

I got to spend Easter with the family! I headed to my sister’s house in Charlottesville, VA, and both my parents and Matt’s parents came from their states to join us! No visit with my brother-in-law is complete without a beer tasting! Kanz brews his own beer and is always interested in feedback/discussion. We kicked off the weekend by comparing two different years of barleywine with the Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine. All were delicious! My mom and dad are…
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Millennial Central for Marriott Rewards. I will receive Marriott Points to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with travel. And not just the actual vacation – I adore travel planning and picking the hotel. So when I was approached about the opportunity to be a Marriott Rewards® Ambassador, I was pumped and applied right away! I’ll…
We’re officially en route to Knoxville, Tennessee! On my last night in NC, I got to attend the lovely wedding of my good friend Brooke at the Carolina Inn in Chapel HIll. It was a nice evening for an outdoor ceremony because the sun had retreated behind the clouds. I loved that champagne was served right before the ceremony because we all mingled and got the party started before the ceremony:) Brooke looked gorgeous and you could tell that…
I had the pleasure of attending two baby showers this weekend! Don’t ya just love shower food?! This was like a nutty pineapple carrot cake combo involving cream cheese and buttercream!!!! Cheers to [one of the] lovely moms-to-be:) The second shower on Sunday had fabulous food too! Both showers were gender-neutral, which meant lots of yellows and greens. I had never had mint m & m’s before – soo addicting! After Saturday’s shower, Matt and I grabbed pizza with friends…
