Labor Day

Life

Wasn’t the long weekend just sooo nice? Although I’m only working part-time now, Matt has been working crazy hours, and it was amazing to have him home for three days of uninterrupted time! Saturday was all about getting our life in order. Gym for me, soccer for Matt! We also went grocery shopping, did all the laundry, and cleaned. Don’t you love knocking out all the chores on the first day? Then the three of us had a date night…

Life Ramblings Travel

Hello, hello, So many fun things have happened…where do I begin? My mom was in town last week, and we had a blast playing with Emerson and shopping for summer clothes. My mom couldn’t believe how much personality Em has and how much she has grown up since March. It was nice to have some additional help for a few days, and I slept until 8:00! Matt and I also celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! My mom was kind…

Kicking Off Summer Break

Life The Working World

And just like that another school year is complete! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t even had time to think about summer. But now it’s here and I have 10 weeks off with my sweet girl! Matt’s parents were visiting last weekend and we did a lot of eating around town. We finally made it to Pecan Lodge after living in Dallas for 4 years! The meat lived up to the hype. Although, we skipped the main line by…

Hello! I’m sorry that it’s been a while. I’m sure you saw that the blog disappeared – I have no idea how I got hacked, but it was not pretty. Almost every file was corrupt, and after hiring one company that couldn’t fix it, I had to spend a small fortune to have the site cleaned from head to toe. Is there seriously someone who sits around and gets pleasure out of this kind of thing? Anyway, it was way…

Grammie & Pop in Town

Uncategorized

Hello! We had a fabulous weekend over here! My parents stopped in Dallas for a quick visit on their way back from Cabo. Matt, unfortunately, got stuck working in New York on Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to have some company. Thursday night, we strolled to the local pub and then I made an easy dinner with WF thai shrimp burgers. On Friday, my mom and I enjoyed our favorite pastime – the mall:) Emerson got a bunch…

V-Day Date

Uncategorized

Happy Valentine’s Day! I feel lucky to have two Valentines this year:) Poor Emerson has to get her 4 month shots today, which is not very fun on what is supposed to be a love-ly day. It’s cold and rainy here and it’s my day at home, so it’s nice to be warm and cozy inside. Matt and I celebrated over the weekend, but I’m going to make him a meatloaf tonight. I feel like such a 1950’s homemaker wife…

Life Lately

Life

Whew. Life sure is a whirlwind these days. I’m back in the swing of things at work, but I’m still feeling tired with the early morning wake-ups. My days are a lot busier now that I’m only on campus 3 days a week – the time flies! I absolutely love being at home 2 days at week, and am SOO happy I asked for more flexibility. I really miss Em when she’s in the nursery, but I know she is…

Visitors

Baby Life

We had a fun week of visitors last week – Matt’s sister was in town for work and got to meet Emerson for the first time, and my mom came back to visit towards the end of the week. We took Matt’s sister, Chelsea, out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants – HG Supply. We always enjoy the bowls there, and I had my first cocktail since giving birth! Emmie loves to sleep in the Solly wrap, and…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Ramblings

-I started a little bit of exercise last week and my body feels like an old man. My pelvic bones still ache and are not quite back in place, and my back hurts most days. I had a massage and went to a prenatal yoga class (with Em!), and things are starting to feel more normal. -We were lucky to have two great date nights last week – feels like our pre-baby life! Our friend works for the Mav’s and…
