We’re home from Portugal, and it’s been fun reflecting on the trip these past few days. I like planning trips that have two different parts, so we headed to Lisbon after the beach portion of our trip. Although I would have loved to stay at the Pine Cliffs the whole time, we wanted to see some of the sights and experience a bit more Portuguese culture. We stopped in the town of Albufeira on our travel day, and after walking…
As you probably gathered from Instagram, Matt and I took a babymoon to Bermuda! We wanted a low-key beach vacation, and since so many places have Zika, we landed on Bermuda. I hadn’t heard much about it before we went and have literally never met anyone who has been (aside from a cruise stop) – I’m so glad we discovered this gem that’s so close to the east coast, because it’s an amazing little island! We spent our first three…
GIRL! You guys, the 20 week ultrasound was THE most amazing experience. I can’t believe she’s in there!! Going to celebrate with pizza night.…
I absolutely fell in love with Puerto Vallarta! I can’t believe this paradise is just two hours from Dallas. The food, the people, and the scenery were wonderful. Matt spoke Spanish as much as possible, and we chatted with so many interesting people and got to know the staff at the resort. We ate amazingly fresh seafood, consumed as much guacamole as humanly possible, and sipped margaritas and cervezas a little too often. One of the highlights was a mountain…
Even though I love restaurant week, I’ve had some bad experiences with it in the past – poor service, limited menu, or just blah food. When I heard about it in Dallas, I quickly went to OpenTable, but all the restaurants I wanted to try were booked. So after reading some reviews, I picked Salum. I probably wouldn’t have picked it otherwise, so I’m happy that I stumbled upon it! The weather has been perfect for strolling around the neighborhood!…
Yesterday was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. I married my best friend and celebrated with loved ones until the early morning hours. And the greatest part? I get to keep him!…
Happy happy Monday! I’m in a good mood because I’m going to the Ingrid Michaelson and Rufus Wainwight concert tonight! I love Ingrid, and know she puts on a good show, so Matt got me tickets for my birthday. He’s never seen her live, so I think he was pretty excited about this gift too! We’ll probably pre-game with autumn beers, and then I’m going to try my best to stay up way past my bedtime to enjoy the show.…
What a wonderful birthday it was! I felt like such a lucky girl all day long on Thursday! I actually had a crazy day at work with meetings and dealing with a suspension, so the day flew by. After work, I took myself on a jog and then showered for a night of celebrating. My parents came over, and we opened a Sangiovese from the NY Times Wine list (best present ever from Matt’s parents ~ 2 years ago). …
As of tomorrow, Matt and I will have been together for seven years. Wow. October 12th was the first time we had an in-depth conversation, and we really haven’t stopped talking since then (slash I haven’t stopped talking because I always seem to be interfering with Matt’s school work:)) Just a couple of weeks before the 12th is when Matt and I first met. And since Matt already went through the trouble of writing out the story for our wedding…
