Busy Weekend

September 12, 2010

This has weekend has kind of been a whirlwind.  On Friday afternoon, I headed across town to retrieve Danny from work.  We hit I-40 around 3:30 and around 5:30 we rolled into Southpoint Mall in Durham.  Our first stop was The Cheesecake Factory. Normally, chain restaurants are not really my thing.  But, sometimes I make […]

Pooch Plunge 2010

September 9, 2010

In the three years that we have had Gracie, it has become kind of a tradition to take her down to Legion Stadium for the Pooch Plunge.  I think that this is more for Danny and I’s enjoyment than hers – she could really care less about getting to swim in a pool.   In […]

Birthdays Two Ways

September 6, 2010

Early Saturday afternoon we celebrated the first birthday of little Abigail, our friends Stacey and Jeff’s daughter.  Stacey made a pretty awesome cake for the event.  There were tons of people there and little Abby seemed to have a pretty good time being the center of attention. Later that evening – several of our friends […]

Friday Night Fun

September 3, 2010

My life, it is really kind of boring.  On the Friday before a long weekend – you would think maybe I would be gearing up for all kinds of mischief and mayhem.  Instead, I did what any self-respecting 30something would do to kick off the weekend – I went and bought a new food processor. […]

Gluttony 101

August 29, 2010

On this same weekend last year, Danny and I celebrated our marriage by eating and drinking our way through Wilmington.  We do not eat out all that much anymore – and, when we do, it is usually at pretty low key places. This weekend, though, we pulled out the big guns.  On Friday night, we […]

Hard to Believe

August 28, 2010

It is hard to believe that exactly one year ago today, Danny and I were standing under the trees at Fort Fisher getting married. There have been so many times this week that we have looked at each other and said, “I can’t believe it has almost been a year – SO much has happened […]

The Longest Week

August 23, 2010

Danny’s father passed away last Tuesday evening.  Without going into all of the details – about 5 months ago he was given a pretty grim diagnosis.  His condition had gotten worse over this past month and, even though we all knew that this time was coming, it happened a little bit sooner than expected.  Dealing […]

Late Night/Long Day

August 13, 2010

Last night something crazy happened.  Around the time that I am usually retiring to bed for the evening (~9:30, don’t judge, I go to work early), I left my house.  But wait, it gets even crazier.  I went downtown to….a BAR. One of my favorite musicians, Will Hoge, was playing downtown at The Soapbox and […]

Flying Solo

August 8, 2010

Danny is travelling some for work this week – which means that it is just Gracie and I holding the fort down at home.  Aside from a trip to Costco and a sweaty bike ride, my day has pretty much consisted of laying around and doing nothing.  When I got back from the bike ride, […]
