Matt and I drove down to Fredericksburg, Texas for two nights to relax and check out the hill country! Sometimes I have trouble taking it easy when we go on vacation because we plan so much and want to hit all the cool restaurants and bars. But this was the first trip in a long time that felt like a true getaway. We rented a little cottage and really enjoyed the outdoor space. The hill country was so peaceful, and…

I’ve gotten quite a few requests for snaps of our new space – so here it is! The best part is that it’s on the 7th floor with lots of windows, so it gets amazing light. Since we went with a one bedroom, the apartment is basically one big room with a little study in the back. I like the open floor plan, but I also think it makes it feel a bit cluttered at times. We replaced our guest…
The weeks are just flying by! I can’t believe next weekend is Labor Day and then summer is over:( Although, I must admit, I’m looking forward to cooler temps in Dallas, so we can actually sit on all the awesome outdoor patios. I took it easy this weekend because I planned a little trip to the Texas hill country tomorrow. I know as soon as Matt starts work, days off will be a rarity, so I figured we should check…
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…
Even though I love restaurant week, I’ve had some bad experiences with it in the past – poor service, limited menu, or just blah food. When I heard about it in Dallas, I quickly went to OpenTable, but all the restaurants I wanted to try were booked. So after reading some reviews, I picked Salum. I probably wouldn’t have picked it otherwise, so I’m happy that I stumbled upon it! The weather has been perfect for strolling around the neighborhood!…
-Remember when I said it didn’t feel that hot here because of the humidity? Yeah, that was a cold front and it’s so freakin hot. Luckily, we had another come through yesterday and it feels wonderful again. Matt and I checked out the arboretum today, which is so beautiful! -Loved how lush and green everything is. -Happy hours around here are amazing. -I finished season one of Revenge yesterday. It was soooo good, but sure gives me the creeps. -I…
Hi Monday, I had a jam-packed weekend here in Dallas – so many fun things to see and eat! Thursday evening, we checked out the Sandbar Cantina for a friend’s birthday party. I was pretty excited to see this beach volleyball bar, as it was covered in white sand and seemed like a cool concept just outside of downtown. It was definitely a neat spot, although most of the volleyball courts were busy with league matches, so it doesn’t seem…
My absolute favorite part about moving to a new city is the exploration phase! Matt and I have been taking long walks at night, just strolling through the neighborhood and taking notes on all the cute places to eat and drink. We’ve been focusing on buying groceries and cooking at home during the week, but we ventured into the Knox-Henderson neighborhood on Friday for dinner at Fireside Pies. It was miserably hot, but there was no wait on the patio,…
Here’s the last of my honeymoon posts – if you missed the first two, there’s a recap of Greece and the cruise. Now that I’m back to regular life, I’m so sad it’s all over! — Matt and I spent four nights in Italy total – two nights in Positano along the Amalfi Coast before our cruise (which departed from Rome) and two nights in Venice after our cruise. The cruise also docked in Venice overnight, so we got three…
