Finally

Amazing Restaurants Life The Working World Twenties

Thanks for your sweet comments! I was sick all week long and spent a lot of time on the couch watching Dawson’s Creek, eating pancakes, and sleeping. But the whole time I was smiling! After 61 cover letters and interviews for 13 different positions, I am finally done. I have accepted the role of Learning Specialist at an independent school! The position is brand new, so I will be spearheading the development of policies and procedures surrounding the academic support…

Scenes from the Weekend

Cooking Life The Working World Twenties

I’ll leave you with snaps from my wonderful, low-key weekend because I’m too tired from work and being sick to write a full recap. I have a cold/cough and found out I also have an infection – the antibiotics are already destroying my stomach:( Plus, I’m too excited to focus on writing a post right now because…. I GOT A JOB. I GOT A JOB. I GOT A JOB! Wooohoooooooo. I just found out a few hours ago and am…

Beauty & The Beast with ScoreBig

Twenties

Gosh I love Dallas. Now that the weather is warm, I’ve been taking more walks and soaking in the sunshine. Last night, I had the opportunity to walk downtown to see Beauty and the Beast! ScoreBig contacted me about trying their website to buy tickets to an event and provided me with $100 towards the tickets. Woohoo! If you aren’t familiar with ScoreBig, the site offers tickets for sports, concerts, theater, Broadway, family shows, and attractions. I found the website…

Vegas

Travel Twenties

Vegas is intense! I can’t believe how many people were there – I arrived and was like, oh, this is where everybody has been all these years! I got to our hotel just as the sun was setting on Friday night! I was the last to arrive and it was glorious to walk into a hotel room of friends! My friend Emily was our host for the weekend and she did an amazing job planning everything and getting us on…

Celebrating in New York

Amazing Restaurants Travel Twenties

Where do I even start? NYC is just so amazing. And the food, oh the food!! I arrived on Thursday and was able to meet Matt for a quick lunch in Hell’s Kitchen. We dined at a Thai-French fusion cafe called Breeze and scored a little table right on the patio/sidewalk. The spicy duck salad and peanut curry shrimp were both tasty and lighter than your typical thai food. Perfect lunch! Matt had to get back to work, so I…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Ramblings Travel Twenties

-I’m Manhattan bound for the big 2-8! Matt had business in NYC, so I’m meeting him there today for my birthday weekend. I think I’ve dreamed about a fall getaway in NYC since I was a little girl. I always visited friends during college summer and winter breaks and don’t think I’ve ever been in the fall! -Is anyone still reading? I know my posts have been lackluster as of late. What can I say? My life was a bit…

Back to Work

Life The Working World Twenties

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…

Out of Durham, In with the Rents

Twenties

Well, we are officially moved out of our beautiful tobacco warehouse and moved in with my parents. The process of packing and moving took much longer than expected and now I’m excited to relax. We are downgrading to a one bedroom in Dallas and we did a major cleanse. I’m so happy we got all the annoying tasks finished before the honeymoon. Friday and Saturday nights, we hit our favorite food spots and met friends for dinner and drinks –…
