-I think I have senioritis. This whole year time has moved so quickly yet the last two weeks are moving soo slowly. I’m getting very excited. I put in a proposal to do some work over the summer and I’m looking forward to two trips! -Matt and I have almost been married for 2 years! We have a wedding this weekend, so we celebrated early with the tasting menu at FT33 last weekend. The food was fantastic! My only complaint…

It’s the eve of a long weekend! I just went to a lovely yoga class, and now I’m relaxed and ready for Friday. Other than a dinner reservation, we don’t have much on the agenda. You? I owe yall a blog post from last weekend – Starting with Friday evening, Matt and I walked to our neighborhood bar for a dark n’ stormy. It’s been very dark and stormy for weeks here, so it was nice to get a moment…
I tried a new Mexican restaurant! There are endless options in Dallas, but I love that they are all a little different. El Bolero has a relaxed atmosphere with clean, modern decor. The place was packed, so Matt and I grabbed signature margaritas made with cilantro and lime. Sadly, the margs were really weak and nothing to write home about. Matt later ordered a blackberry, jalapeño, and tequila punch that was awesome though. I settled on a Chilean red with…
Can you believe it’s almost summer time? We’ve had a lot of rain here lately, but I know the summer sun is right around the corner! I’m really enjoying these quiet spring weekends, as I know the summer will be busy. We opened yet another bottle of wine that we loved on our trip on Friday night – I found this one at a local wine shop. We switched things up this week with fajitas, and I used awesome lime…
Another lovely weekend in the books. I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot lately! Matt and I have gotten into a routine on Fridays of making a pizza and opening a bottle of wine. This week was a wonderful bottle from our trip to Mendoza. Our pizzas are usually the same – olives, sheep’s manchego, spicy chicken sausage, and arugula salad on top. Saturday, I tried my first Crossfit class! I liked it a lot because it was…
Ahh, spring weekends. This one was simple and relaxed. I had a cold at the end of last week, so Friday was low key and lovely. I made enchiladas and Matt and I attempted to catch up on House of Cards. We’re making slow, but steady progress. Saturday, I went to my favorite class at the gym for one last time, because the instructor will be out on maternity leave:( It was awesome, and I’m hoping there’s a good sub.…
After the craziness of the past few weeks, it was glorious to have a weekend at home! The weather was perfect all three days. On Friday, I took a long walk and ended up at LOFT, where I scored a pair of black shorts 40% off. Matt and I made a pizza and drank wine and sat on the couch all night. That was lovely. On Saturday, we randomly invited some friends over for drinks on our deck. We were…
It’s spring break in the DFW area but it sure doesn’t feel like it. We had yet another snow day last week and today we have steady, cold rain. I’ve been doing a lot of yoga to stay warm and it’s not even that cold here. I’ve gotten really into the restorative/therapeutic classes as a way to de-stress. I’ve been bad at multi-tasking and letting my brain go a million miles a minute, so I’m trying to focus on mindfulness…
Chicken Scratch has been on my list forever! It requires perfect weather, as it’s mostly outdoors. I’ve always heard that it gets packed on the weekends, so I’ve never gotten my act together to go. This weekend was ideal because we saw 70 and sunny, and some of my college friends were in town. We arrived around noon on Sunday and had our choice of picnic tables. The atmosphere was farmyard chic, and there was a side dedicated to family-friendly…
