Wedding Memories

Life Wedding

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…

Honeymoon Details – Cruising

Travel

The internet is finally up and running here in Dallas, so I’m going to pick up where I left off with the honeymoon details. One day I’ll resume regular posts:) Matt and I chose to extend our honeymoon with a cruise so that we could see a bunch of places without the hassle of packing up and changing hotels all the time. The Greece portion was about pure relaxation, and the cruise was about seeing a lot in a small…

Honeymoon Details – Greece

Travel

Hello! I’m back at my parents’ house for a few days because I have a wedding to attend! But on Sunday, we’ll be making the trek to Dallas to resume real life. So about that honeymoon…I guess you guys want details! I apologize for dumping so many photos on you, but I just didn’t want to waste precious time typing posts on the tablet. I actually had a terrible time trying to get the mini SD card to work with…

The Wedding!

Life Wedding

Hi Friends, Although I don’t have any official pictures back from our photographer yet, I wanted to do a more detailed recap of the wedding day. My sister was able to capture some of the day with her awesome camera, so she shared all of these photos with me! June 1st started around 8am for me. Despite being woken up by a strange garage door around 6, I had a wonderful night’s sleep. I went for a jog by myself…

The Rehearsal

Wedding

The Friday before the wedding was another beautiful day! Almost everyone went to the beach, and I continued to be overwhelmed by how many familiar faces were in one place! I hid out under an umbrella to make sure I didn’t get much sun before the big day. Around 5, we headed to the adorable chapel to rehearse the ceremony. Is it bad luck to walk down the aisle? I hope not! Everything went smoothly so we had to kill…

Party Boat

Travel Wedding

I promised more detailed posts from the wedding weekend, so here’s the Thursday night recap! Because most of the rentals on the island required three-night minimum stays, and we knew our guests were spending a lot of money to travel, Matt and I ultimately decided to do bachelor and bachelorette parties on Thursday night. We had separate pre-parties and then combined the festivities on a boat that we chartered from nearby Carolina Beach. Since there’s only a small grocery store…

A Winter BBQ

Cooking

I think everyone on twitter and facebook already said this a million times today, but oh my goodness the weather made me feel amazing!!! Though I wanted to do something outside, I was stuck in a staff meeting and I really wanted to take the muscle pump class at my gym because I look forward to it all week. Perhaps I can fit in a walk tomorrow if it doesn’t rain. I keep thinking we’ve emerged from this dark winter,…

Dallas Highlights

Travel Twenties

Heyy, I’m back from a fabulous girls weekend in Dallas. It certainly wasn’t a restful weekend, but it was so.much.fun. I’ve been to Dallas a couple of times, but I feel like I got to know the city a bit better this time and I just loved the vibe of Uptown. My friend Liz was such a fantastic host! So without further ado – some weekend highlights: Mambo Taxis [sangria + frozen margarita] and the most amazing shrimp tacos with…

Celebrations

Durham Restaurants Twenties

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).     …
