Our first wedding gift arrived today! It’s equally weird and awesome that presents are just going to start showing up on our doorstep. We have a whole set of new wine glasses now!!! What do I do with them? Matt says we can’t use them until June 1st? I don’t do everything Matt says, but when he insists on fish tacos I say yes. He’s on spring break this week, so he’s pretty much drinking beer and bourbon and cleaning…

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of dining at the lovely Guglhupf, thanks to a Christmas gift from Matt’s parents. We’ve celebrated at this cute cafe before, so it felt special to return:) We settled into our two-top on the second floor, amidst the funky hanging lanterns and chandeliers. However, we couldn’t quite settle because Duke was in the final minutes of a heated match with Maryland. We shared a bourbon with a splash of maple syrup and secretly watched…
Just checking in to say hello on this snowy Saturday. I know I said I wasn’t going out to eat on Thursday, but Matt gave me a card and inside the card he declared that a casual date night was mandatory! He even put the fish I had thawing back into the freezer once I left for work because he knew I’d insist we eat it:) We went across the street to Pop’s and sat at the bar. It was…
Another weekend over:( I didn’t do a whole lot, but enjoyed it nonetheless. On Friday, I headed to Duke to help out at the Stop Hunger Now campaign that was going on at Fuqua Friday. I enjoyed being on an assembly line and was in charge of the funnel station:) After volunteering, Matt and I went in search of the Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate that we had last year around Valentine’s Day. We found it at the Federal, one of…
Good morning, I have the pleasure of working from home today! It was supposed to be a teacher workday, but because of the threat of snow, we all got permission to have our teacher workday at home! It worked out nicely because we are going to visit Kath, Kanz, and Maze today, so we can leave a bit earlier than expected. It has literally rained all week, so even though its cold out there, the sunshine feels wonderful today. It…
Ahh, friends, this weekend was peaceful. And I just got back from seeing Les Miserables. Matt and I took sandwiches and had a Monday night dinner date. The movie is SO.GOOD and very beautiful. After the holidays, I really needed a Friday night in, so that’s what I did – a delicious cabernet from the Wall Street Journal annual selection (a gift from Matt’s parents!) was opened. Matt and I accidentally drank the whole bottle because we liked it…
Sometimes it’s so nice to have no plans. I had really low expectations for last night, and I such a blast in small town Durham. We had hoped to throw a party, but with so many people traveling, it was kind of a fail. And then we tried to coordinate a progressive evening of sorts with different friend groups and it just didn’t come together. So, Matt and I found ourselves with a completely free NYE and a fabulous night…
I don’t really know what I did this weekend. I’m so excited to be on break, that I’ve just been going with the flow. It’s amazing. And it’s so nice that I don’t have to travel this year, since my parents live 20 minutes down the road! I never remember feeling so relaxed right before Christmas. Friday was the last day of school for students and the principal arranged a huge bbq lunch for all the staff. We had pulled…
Friday was such a sad day. The news was heart breaking and I just can’t stop thinking about it. My coping mechanism thus far has just been to ignore the media and continue on with the weekend. But each time I learn another detail, it’s sickening and so horrible. Honestly, I didn’t even want to write a blog post because I’m at a loss for what to say about the tragedy. But I know it’s important to talk about what…
