I had the pleasure of attending two baby showers this weekend!

The second shower on Sunday had fabulous food too! Both showers were gender-neutral, which meant lots of yellows and greens.

After Saturday’s shower, Matt and I grabbed pizza with friends at Pizzeria Toro.

We shared the asparagus salad and a spicy clam pizza – I can’t believe I’m going to Italy next month – this meal made me soooo excited!

After we said good night to our friends, we couldn’t resist a drink at Mateo Tapas (my very favorite in Durham). We have so few free weekends left here! So even though we had just finished dinner, we ordered the blue cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates because they are heavenly.

What a nice weekend! And after today’s shower, I had my second-to-last fitting, so my dress is just about ready to be picked up. Yay!
