-I have new books! As soon as I read Jenna’s post, I knew I wanted something good to read over Christmas and New Year’s. I’m currently reading The Blue Bistro, which is set on Nantucket, and I’m loving all the food descriptions. -I also have new icing tips – so excited to make something with giant blobs of icing! -My stomach feels better than it has since last year and my digestive system is…well…working again. I think my Christmas present…

-I really, really love the Dallas restaurant scene – it’s fun and trendy and there’s always something new to try. I’m working my way through this list and have hit four thus far. -The weather is just crazy this year with temps going up and down all the time. Kinda scares me when I think about global changes. 80 yesterday, ice today. -It’s sad that Matt walks in the door from work and goes straight to his computer to go…
A little entertainment for your Wednesday morning… Jason Andre of Seven Season Films put together a GORGEOUS video of our wedding on Bald Head Island! We had debated hiring a videographer, and I can’t tell you how glad I am that we did. Jason was easy to work with and professional and the final product was worth every penny. It is fun to see the ceremony from our guests’ perspective and I’m thrilled to be able to relive that perfect…
Happy hump. This week is flying by because it’s a short one! We’re traveling for yet another wedding this weekend! Plus, evenings have been really nice, as Matt has had a light workload and come home for dinner every night. It makes such a big difference to have a companion to dine with, and I do enjoy an after-dinner stroll. It’s still 80 here, btw. I made sweet potato enchiladas on Sunday and then broccoli with beef on Monday. We’re…
Almost the weekend!!! I had a weird cold last week that finally turned into a runny nose this week that turned into a 3-day headache. Maybe the germs are different here in Texas, but I’m ready to feel normal again! I did make it to a Rangers game on Monday and trivia night on Tuesday – trying to make the best of my weeknights since Matt is already busy. He did come home tonight for a classic burger and fry…
Happy Labor Day! I’m enjoying a fun-filled weekend with my parents, who are visiting Dallas! I introduced my mom to the beer-rita at the Katy Trail Ice House! She’s now requesting them at Christmas dinner. It’s our last hurrah in this extended wedding-honeymoon-Dallas summer extravaganza, because I’m starting work tomorrow and Matt starts next Monday. I’ve always felt really uncomfortable with unemployment and I promised myself I’d take my time with this search so that I could find the right…
The wedding feels so long ago. Even though I’ve already blogged about it and shared pictures, all of the snaps were from Kath’s DSLR. The pictures from our photographer, Theo Milo, were ready once I got back from the honeymoon and they are fabulous!!!! But I had to wait for the disk to make its way to Texas before I could share them. I love them so much and am thrilled with how they turned out. Theo was super easy…
-Remember when I said it didn’t feel that hot here because of the humidity? Yeah, that was a cold front and it’s so freakin hot. Luckily, we had another come through yesterday and it feels wonderful again. Matt and I checked out the arboretum today, which is so beautiful! -Loved how lush and green everything is. -Happy hours around here are amazing. -I finished season one of Revenge yesterday. It was soooo good, but sure gives me the creeps. -I…
Hello from the big D! I’ve been in Dallas for a week now, and it finally feels like home. This is the first time I’ve moved with lots of furniture, and it took a long time to get everything arranged and unpacked. I’m so ready to stay in one place for a little while! Of course, I’ve already had some lovely meals – Matt and I drove to Dallas in my car and stopped in Knoxville, TN on the first…
