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…

My parents came to visit from NC this past weekend, and we had a blast eating, shopping, and relaxing. We were so busy, that I didn’t snap a single picture outside of my shower on Sunday. I have a small group of friends here in Dallas who were sweet enough to host a celebration for Baby Allen. They went all out with lavender and aqua, and had beautiful jars of flowers for the guests to take home as favors. It…
The rest of our time in Bermuda was spent doing a lot of lounging and exploring different beaches. We also loved the infinity pool at our hotel, but didn’t discover how awesome it was until the end of the trip. Floating on noodles felt heavenly. The beach club at our hotel was perfect for swimming – they had really nice chairs, hammocks, and a restaurant, and it was rarely crowded. We spent a couple of full days there – swimming,…
As you probably gathered from Instagram, Matt and I took a babymoon to Bermuda! We wanted a low-key beach vacation, and since so many places have Zika, we landed on Bermuda. I hadn’t heard much about it before we went and have literally never met anyone who has been (aside from a cruise stop) – I’m so glad we discovered this gem that’s so close to the east coast, because it’s an amazing little island! We spent our first three…
Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, as I’ve been out and about before I hunker down for these last few months. Matt and I traveled back to NC for a quick visit with my parents and a shower put on by the lovely ladies of the church I grew up attending. On Thursday, my parents took us out to the new Durham Hotel’s rooftop bar, and we met up with my good friend, Brooke and her husband! My,…
Hello! I’m sitting at the airport on my way to Matt’s college reunion, waiting on a two hour delay:( I’m officially finished with the 15-16 school year though! Woohoo! Last weekend, Matt’s parents came to visit and we had a fabulous time! We cooked for them on Friday, and then I took Matt’s mom to the gym on Saturday. I haven’t felt that great doing yoga lately, so I did some lifting while Candace went to a vinyasa class. And…

-I love having fresh flowers in the house! How pretty is this pink bouquet a friend brought over? -We’ve had lots of rainy weather here and I’ve been in the dark audiotorium proctoring standardized tests all week. I can’t wait for some sunshine to hit my eyes! -I jumped on the SnapChat train, and I’m slowly figuring out how it works. My username is leyallen. -I had an action-packed weekend that included Metcon at the gym, visiting Grapevine Brewing for…
Hello. I owe you a post from my trip to hill country for spring break. Matt and I made somewhat last minute plans to take a road trip, and ended up booking 4 nights at Travassa Austin. We left after waking up on Thursday, and stopped at a classic bbq joint in Belton for lunch. We ordered the combo plate with pulled pork and brisket from Millers, and loved every bit of it (well, maybe not the onions:) We arrived…
