Well I survived my first day of a real job, which makes me officially an adult. At one point during the day I was organizing my desk and I stopped and thought I’m getting paid for this! It felt so good to have a desktop computer and voicemail and filing cabinets and other adult things that I never really had at my internship. Space just for me! Now I hope I like the actual work. Although apparently it’s not…

This morning I picked up Insight and Matt and I went for a ten mile ride on the American Tobacco Trail. Who knew this was a less than a mile from my apt!!!?? I’m so excited to have a place to ride without having to worry about traffic. I could bike all the way to the mall from downtown! I was a bit antsy this afternoon. I went to the pool for a bit, but didn’t want to get…
Meet Insight. My new commuter bike! Did I mention my workplace is only 3 miles away? Matt got the same one:) Source Since we were in Chapel Hill for the bikes yesterday, we decided to stick around for dinner. I’ve heard wonderful things about Carrburrito, so we gave it a try. Fresh mahi-mahi with all the burrito fixings to go with! It was wonderful, but left me feeling a bit uncomfortable afterwards. There was live music at the neighboring coffee…
Hello friends. I apologize for my absence. I’ve been busy…. busy making salads and sweet potatoes in an attempt to return to normal eating after my trip, busying shopping for bikes and work clothes, busy filling out paperwork, and busy celebrating with riesling at West End Wine Bar. Why, more merriment after a ten-day celebration of life, you ask? Because this girl is employed! No more wondering where I’ll be working, when my career will begin, of if I will…
Seven more hours of driving and we arrived in Santa Fe just in time for lunch on the patio of the famous Inn of the Anasazi. After a few bland beers in AZ, this nut brown tasted awesome! Matt and I split buffalo sliders, chili fries, and tuna tacos for a late lunch snack. Everything tasted really good, but nothing stood out (especially after how spoiled we have been over the past few days.) Below is a pic of…
It sure is hot here, but I’m in love with our outdoor space. It’s the one thing I really wanted in Boston but we were not able to afford it up there. Now we have a small deck!!! Last night, we officially cooked our first dinner in the new kitchen: tilapia with strawberry sauce, rice, and brussels. It was nice and light, but a bit bland because I forgot to buy butter! It’s something that’s almost always in our fridge,…
Durham has some great little restaurants and I love the emphasis on farm to table food. But, let’s be honest, the restaurant selection here will never rival Boston’s! So, on our last night in beantown, we got to try one more swanky south end gem: Sibling Rivalry. The dinner was compliments of a giftcard from none other than my sibling:) Sibling Rivalry is unique because the menu was created by two brothers who each interpreted a certain ingredient to create…
…tell the world I’m coming home After a quick stop at Matt’s parents house for some deliciously fresh Maryland crabs and three years in the North, we’re finally returning to the glorious south. See ya in NC!…
WOW. I had one of the most memorable dining experiences last night. I’m so lucky to have had the opportunity to try some incredible Boston restaurants over the past three years and last night was in the top five best meals I’ve ever had (in Boston). [Disclaimer – one of the themes of my blog is balance, and just so ya know, this next month is NOT going to be balanced since we’re hitting all our favorite restaurants before moving,…
