Spring is in full bloom here! Flowers are blossoming, the birds are chirping, and our new palm for the roof deck is thriving in the Dallas sun. It’s also that time of year that we plant new flowers for the baskets on our front fence. Oh, and I should tell you that there’s a pea in the pod. Or should I say a pear in the pod, as I approach 18 weeks tomorrow! Yes – you read that correctly. For…
-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…
Hi Friends, Happy spring and happy belated birthday to my mom! I’m enjoying some time off from work for spring break, and it’s been nice hanging out at home. Here’s what I’ve been up to: Burgers with friends on Friday night – they brought their adorable kids, and it was nice to catch up since they are busy, busy. We need to get a grill though because we made a mess in the kitchen with grease flying off the griddle…
-It was half-off champagne night with the girls – I normally wouldn’t go towards bubbles in January, but man that stuff is good. -I’m getting into The Chainsmokers. – -We had some pretty amazing food and a boatload of fun with my sister and brother-in-law last weekend. Kath has all the details. -Did you guys get the day off on Monday? I forgot about it until the night before and experienced pure elation. We could use a little MLK in…
…is the question my yoga teacher posed tonight, and man do I have answers for her. I’m celebrating that my body can do yoga; that I get to fill it with giant bowls of food for dinner each night; and that I alleviated my digestive issues. I’m celebrating that Christmas break starts one week from tomorrow, and I am able to go home to NC. I’m celebrating that Raphael finally told Jane that he made a mistake on Jane the…
Hey, hey. I hope you guys had a good holiday. It’s been a while – I was swamped last week, and needed a little extra time. The three weeks between Thanksgiving are Christmas are a sprint at work. But I was ready for it because my break was super relaxing. We had fabulous weather in Maryland, and Matt’s parents took great care of us. I think I slept for 9 or 10 hours most nights! I came home to a…
-It’s this time of year that I fall in love with Dallas again – the weather has been picture perfect and the best part is that it usually lasts. -I’ve been trying to switch to clean lip balm, and I’m having the hardest time – my lips get so cracked and gross that I go running back to the Blistex. -We had a low key weekend, including Moroccan food at Souk – I loved the lamb tagine, Lebanese wine, and…
– I finally got my flu shot today, and it hurt more than I ever remember. I can feel the soreness setting in. – Has anyone seen Jane the Virgin? I’ve watched the first few episodes, and I like the pace – kind of a different show. – Since turning 30, I’ve struggled to stay present – I think the milestone bought up a lot of questions about things I want to accomplish or experience. – I heard Glennon speak…
