I’m blogging from bed, where I’m recovering from an amazing night on the town as well as killer sprints in bootcamp that left my quads aching. I guess that means it was a great weekend! One of our friends was overdue for a birthday celebration, and her husband surprised her with a limo full of friends. We started the evening at Dos Perros where we waited to surprise the birthday girl. Of course there were margaritas and nachos. And Matt…

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…
Just looking at all the party food makes me salivate. The gouda-salami combo is soo good. And every time I make the pigs, they disappear instantly. I ate the leftovers of this today in a burrito and it was perfection. Back when we went to the lake, I had this wine and loved it! My friend Maria was sweet enough to bring a bottle and I chugged enjoyed a glass right away. And of course, I served the big bottle…
Heyy, I’m back from a fabulous girls weekend in Dallas. It certainly wasn’t a restful weekend, but it was so.much.fun. I’ve been to Dallas a couple of times, but I feel like I got to know the city a bit better this time and I just loved the vibe of Uptown. My friend Liz was such a fantastic host! So without further ado – some weekend highlights: Mambo Taxis [sangria + frozen margarita] and the most amazing shrimp tacos with…
I eat Tex-Mex a lot. I mean sweet potatoes and black beans are on my grocery list every week and there’s always cheese, salsa, and tortillas/chips in my kitchen. But as much as I love it, I needed a new recipe in the rotation. Lucky for me, Kath’s MIL Karen shared her taco salad recipe. When she first told me about it, I was picturing meat and fixin’s on salad. But this stuff is gooood. Her secret is in the…
After I spent all of Friday on the couch, recovering from my mysterious sickness, I finally felt ok to shower and eat dinner that evening. It felt nice, actually, to just spend a Friday night in with a movie – Matt and I watched Nothing But The Truth, and I really enjoyed it! It was pretty fascinating. On Saturday, we took a quick one nighter trip to Charlotte to visit friends. One of my college friends lives in Asheville, and…
This weekend was such a blast. An anniversary celebration and a trip to the lake all in one! Since Friday was our seven year, Matt and I celebrated with a big bottle of Kasteel Rouge after work. This is the sweet cherry coke beer we discovered in Atlanta. It’s more like drinking a pink champagne than a beer, but it’s soo good! Then we got dressed up and walked to Revolution for dinner. This was our fourth time – we…
The music at our wedding is VERY important to me. I’ve always imagined having a really classy band that could play all the good wedding songs at the beginning and then awesome versions of today’s hits once the crowd gets going. Sadly, when I realized that a wedding on an island (my wedding is a small gathering on Bald Head Island, NC for those who don’t know!) came with some extra expenses (i.e. delivery fees, transportation, ect), my dream band…
