Hey, hey. Hows it goin? The weekend is over, but for once I’m a bit relieved. The event I’ve been putting together took place over the weekend and I’m happy to say that everything went pretty smoothly! The other co-chairs and I have been working for a few months to plan the programming for the partners of students who have been admitted to Fuqua. I really believe in the support that the partners organization provides and was excited to be…

I have lots to share from our travels to Charlottesville and VA wine country! Too much for one post and since Ecto would probably have a heart attack with all the pictures, I’ll have to split it up, starting with last night’s dinner – easily the highlight of the trip! Kath & Kanz live in a walkable neighborhood, so we hit the sidewalk to get to our dinner destination: the famous Commonwealth restaurant and it’s rooftop Skybar. Every time Kath…
What better way to celebrate a birthday than with pizza and beer? We went to an old favorite, Brixx pizza, to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. NC beers were on special, so I ordered the Weeping Willow Wit. Tasted just like summer! We had a balmy night, so we sat outside on the patio. This, the night shots. I ordered the pimento cheese pizza and exchanged slices with my Mom and Matt. Mine was super cheesy and the bacon was awesome!…
Oh hey Friday, Sorry for being MIA yesterday. Matt’s company-to-be (assuming he accepts the offer for summer employment) treated us to dinner at Durham’s Vin Rouge. I was pumped that I was invited to join, because Vin Rouge has been on my list since we moved! I’m not always crazy about French food, but have heard fabulous things about this spot and the restaurant itself is adorable. I had a glass of pinot noir and a glass of cabernet franc…
I’m back home in Durham and having my usual vacation withdrawal (I ate a whole bag of jelly beans on the drive home…) We had such a fabulous time and the warm weather got me so pumped for spring! Too bad we woke up to pouring rain and dropping temperatures. Rumor has it, we might even see some snow. But, let’s back up to Friday – Matt and I grabbed dinner at the Bald Head Island Club bar. We had…
Matt came home late Friday night from a trip to Atlanta and announced that he got an offer for a summer internship. Hooray!!! He called on the way home from the airport, so I had just enough time to get this very special beer into the freezer for a celebration. It was a gift from my Dad for my birthday and it was wonderful. It actually went down so fast with the excitement of the moment, that I don’t remember…
Hello, Hello! Thank you all for the kind words. I’m honestly a bit scared about the decision and I felt better reading your comments:) A great weight was lifted off my shoulders on Friday, so my weekend was extra fabulous. After work, I made a black bean mexican pizza and enjoyed an old favorite beer with Matt. The weekend also involved a festive tacky sweater party, and a red velvet cupcake tasting. I’m in charge of ordering the Christmas dinner…
Friends, I had a fabulous weekend. It’s the first time I felt really relaxed in a few weeks – no plane rides, no hosting, just Matt and I enjoying Davidson. We arrived around noon on a beautiful fall day. After saying hello to a few friends and grabbing beers at the alumni tailgate, we took a long walk around campus. And we also watched some football! Davidson pulled off a very exciting win at the last minute. We stopped into…
Last night’s festivities were so.much.fun. I just wish the evening didn’t have to end so quickly. Poor Matt had to stay at the library, so my mom & dad picked me up for a progressive birthday celebration. My dad planned an evening in Carrboro to ensure that there wouldn’t be any repeat restaurants. I love trying new places! Our first stop was the Milltown patio for the extensive beer list. I had the Bosteels Tripel Karmeliet and boy was it…
