-I packed up one of my offices today – crazy, and so exciting -Tornadoes scare the sh*t out of me and I can’t imagine what the people of OK must be going through – makes wedding decor seems like the stupidest thing in the world -Matt is keeping me sane by doing a million things – he made mini burgers tonight that turned out awesome! Can’t wait to eat more burgers at summer bbqs -I just got super excited to…

Exercise used to be my time to clear my head – now it’s the time that my to-do list fills my head and ruins my me time. We’ve been eating giant salads over here, because they are quick and easy and good for wedding bodies. Work got crazy this week, which can be expected for this time of year – what is it about the end of school and kids acting crazy? Sleep and I are BFF. I’m going to…
I’m sure you can guess why I’ve been mia here – on the home stretch!! It was a busy week, so I ate a ton of meals out – not the best for healthy eating, but oh so convenient when there’s no time to cook. And also so fun during the week! On Monday, my mom and I got together to start working on the escort cards and we grabbed salads at Panera. Tuesday, one of my bridesmaids and I…
The lovely ladies in Durham were kind enough to treat me to a bachelorette outing on Friday night! In lieu of big bachelor and bachelorette parties, Matt and I asked all of our friends to come to the island a day early to hang out and celebrate. So it was fun that I ended up having a little bachelorette party after all! We started the evening off at the Carolina Inn, where they have live music and drinks on Fridays…
Garlic asparagus, Cajun catfish, and rice and beans! Matt and I tag-teamed the cooking last night and dinner came together so much faster. Loved this meal. In the next few weeks, I may be transitioning to all microwave meals and salads. Time is of the essence. I’m thinking a wedding planner would have been a good idea right about now. I’m so thankful for a weekend at home with only a few things on the agenda. Only 4 more weeks at work (and a…
I was so sorry to hear the news from Texas today. It’s been such a sad week for so many people – a reminder of how many things we all have to be grateful for. For one, spring is in full bloom! The weather has been so perfect lately and NC is just gorgeous this time of year. I’m definitely getting a bit sad to leave this awesome place! Now that the weather is warmer, I’ve been craving lighter meals…
Our appetites are back over here, which called for some cooking! I had picked up some cajun catfish at Whole Foods, but Matt and I were just not feeling the idea of fish the past couple of days. Whenever I’m sick and lose my appetite, it always makes me realize how much my day revolves around food. Life is so boring when things don’t taste good. The cajan catfish was great, one of the better frozen fish dinners I’ve bought!…
Happy Easter!! I thought I was beating Matt’s cold, but it has gotten the best of me today:( I wasn’t able to go to church or brunch, but my parents were nice enough to order us a pizza and come over for the Duke game. I really thought I was on the up-and-up Saturday, and attempted a date night. I figured beer is the best medicine (only in the moment…) Matt and I stopped at Milltown in Chapel Hill and…
I guess my body wants me to slow down even more, because I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and I know it’s got to be Matt’s sickness coming my way. He’s been out of commission for 3 days so. I hope that’s not a preview of what’s to come. On a more positive note, I did discover a delicious new crock pot meal! I found this recipe for curried lentils and sweet potatoes in a magazine. Despite…
