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 –…

5 Years

Life Travel Twenties

I can’t believe it’s been five years since college! It was so much fun to return to campus for our reunion. We stayed in the dorms – it was very festive, but I can’t believe how small those rooms are. And the beds are terribly uncomfortable. I didn’t do a whole lot of sleeping though:) Highlights of the weekend included seeing my friends again and catching up with those who weren’t at the wedding, walking around the adorable town of…

What’s Next

Life Travel Twenties

I’m home, and slightly sad that it’s over, but really just happy that everything was fabulous. The whole wedding weekend was probably the best weekend of my life, and it meant so much to me that friends and family traveled from all over the country. I’ll recap all three night soon! So what’s next? Well, I went back to work today – the official end of the school year isn’t until next week. Matt has already started some major cleaning…

Wedding Invites!

Twenties Wedding

All invites are out, so here they are! I loved how they turned out, although I can’t say addressing them was my favorite part of wedding planning:) I used Southern Fete Creative, and had them design a custom invitation based on the Garden Suite on their website. Early on, I decided to have custom napkins made through Etsy, and have been using the swatch of fabric as inspiration for a bunch of wedding items. I would highly recommend Southern Fete…
