You guys, I just went to a Fuqua Partners (that means significant others of business school students) cook-out and the desserts there were fabulous! I obv. brought cupcakes. It’s just so much more fun bringing sweets to a potluck and pictures of hamburgers are boring, so here’s what I had tastes of: I think the pumpkin cheesecake bar and the peanut butter rice crispy treat were my favorites. I may have visions of sugarplums in my dreams tonight!…

It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I’ve actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really…
Dinner with friends – such a simple way to spice up a week night! Matt and I met another couple at Geer St. Garden. I’d been here once before with my sister and parents in the winter, but today we got to sit in the beer garden! I had one last summer beer before I start thinking about the Octoberfests, brown ales, and pumpkin beers. I’d heard wonderful things about the Geer St. burger because they grind the meat in…
It felt so good to stay in Durham this weekend and resume normal life. I ran, I did laundry, I caught up with friends, and I saw a rainbow. This weekend was all about enjoying friends and Durham, so a group of us tried a new tapas place (Taberna) that opened while I was gone this summer. They don’t yet have a liquor license, so we brought our own wine = awesome. The tapas were reasonably priced and tasty too.…
Our last day in Dallas was spent with friends! Matt’s best bud from high school and his wife Beccah have a 2-week-old baby boy. Welcome to the world, William! William was actually two weeks early, so it was fun visiting with him on basically his due date. He was soo tiny and fragile. Made me a bit nervous:) And reminded me that I’m going to be an aunt very very soon!!!! Saturday evening, one of my college roommates came out…
Lots of great food and people at Matt’s summer associate conference in Texas this weekend. Boy am I tired though! Here’s a few highlights, including an unexpected wine tasting, Tex-mex, a bbq in the stockyards, and a visit to the Fort Worth Rodeo. Matt and I were also able to visit with a few of our good friends, which was a pleasant surprise on Saturday. I think I’ve got a few more pictures to upload tomorrow. Oh, and I had…
Tonight, I ventured out of my neighborhood to have dinner with a college friend. I met her husband for the first time – they are both tax lawyers and they are hilarious together:) I had a small glass of red. I haven’t had Black Box wine in a few years, and it’s good! It was so nice having dinner prepared for me while relaxing on the porch! We had pizza with variations of pineapple, pepperoni, and chicken. Two weeks without…
We’re finally back to normalcy after a fun-filled weekend. We went up to Boston to visit our friends Lauren and Evan and to attend Lauren’s bridal shower. Gosh I miss it there! We spent all day on Friday just walking around, visiting our favorite spots. We started bright and early in Quincy market and walked all the way to our old neighborhood near Northeastern. We stopped for lunch at the MET Bar on Newbury street and enjoyed a wonderful glass…
I can’t breathe! It’s been a while since I’ve had a cold and I forgot how suffocating it is! The upside is that I feel like all the sinus pressure that has been building up all spring is now being released, if ya know what I mean. The rest of me feels great though, so I’ve been itching to get out of the house. Luckily, Matt and I had a dinner date last night at the Italian sandwich shop, Toast.…
