Engagement Trumps Birthdays

The first 24 hours in NYC were epic. It started out at dinner with Jon to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary and ended with a Saturday brunch with the besties celebrating our engagement.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

You hear that phrase over and over but no matter how many times you hear it it’s still true. I’m heading home for a month and I couldn’t be more excited to see my family and friends.  My 27th (wow) birthday is on Saturday so I can celebrate it at home which makes me ecstatic to say [...]

5 Hours In Marbella, Spain

Day 1 of vacation Day 2 of vacation Day 3 was spent in Marbella, Spain.  It was a 1.5 hour bus ride up the coast. I knew it was a beach town and it wasn’t going to be hot enough to lay out but we figured we might as well explore since we were close [...]

Rolling With Your Veggies

Sorry for the cheesy title but the more catchy the title the more readers I get. Always thinking ahead.  Jon and I went to a sushi making class at our local Whole Foods last night.

Museum of London

I saw this ad in various tube stations and wanted to check out the exhibit. Sorry for the blurriness, it’s a blackberry photo.
