What a weekend!! I’m completely exhausted and am considering myself in “detox” mode… Knoxville was fabulous and I am so happy I got to spend some much-needed quality time with my 2 best friends — and the boys of course!! Friday night, Jeff and I got into town and headed to Soccer Taco (our favorite […]

This afternoon, Jeff and I are headed to Knoxville to spend some time with our friends for a relaxing weekend getaway to east TN… probably won’t turn out to be quite so calm since I’ll be spending all weekend with my 2 best friends, but I can’t wait — reminds me that football season is […]

Ever have those days where it seems like everything goes wrong?? I know I do, and this week has made me think A LOT about my personal and professional life… I tend to get extremely overwhelmed by my career — could be due to the constant multiple deadline submittals to clients, numerous industry conferences to […]

I’m not sure if it’s the slowing economy or my desire to save money for all these upcoming travels I’m venturing on, but lately, I have been cooking up some very tasty dishes (if I do say so myself) – I have to admit that most of my “home cooking” stems from recipes I find […]

Yes, I am singing this song – the poor people in my office had to listen to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” this morning because I got the best surprise last night from my beloved Jeff… He is taking me to NEW YORK CITY for my birthday!! Technically, we’re visiting the week before my […]

Another Summer Saturday down in the books and you can only imagine how much fun we had while visiting Arrington Vineyards this weekend… first of all, I need to thank my fabulous roommate for inviting Jeff and I to join in on their fun date night! We packed our perfect picnic dinner of chicken salad […]

This past Friday was my first turn for our weekly “Date Night”… Having to work with a $25 budget may sound easy, but it was actually quite hard because I was really trying to be creative and not only have dinner, but have entertainment for our night of fun on the town. After a few […]

While perusing through countless blogs the other day, I noticed a few bloggers had taken time to write down things that make them unique, and I wondered if I could think of 100 things about myself… of course I wanted to try it out for myself so here it goes: 1. I was named after […]

Last Friday Jeff and I had our very first “surprise date night” (see my previous post for the background of the game)… he came and picked me up and of course I was dying to know where we were going, but he was good about not spoiling the surprise – keeping with our constant need […]
