Where I Wanna Be

If I were to rattle off a list of some of my favorite things in the world, it would include the following (in no particular order):

My husband
My dog
College Basketball (esp. during tournament weekends)
Vacations
College Football season

And, today my friends, marks the beginning of college football season?  Who is pumped?
This girl is [...]

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.

And [...]

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 headed [...]

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 since [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

This evening after work I had some time to kill.  Danny was working late and it was too hot to walk Gracie.  So, I decided to head out on a bike ride. 

42 minutes and 7.10 miles later I returned home.  While this is not the farthest that I have done on the [...]

So, I realized today that I totally missed the one year anniversary of this blog.  I made this post on August 3rd of last year. 
I will be the first to admit that I have kind of half-assed the whole blogging thing.  Some weeks I do well with posting – and then other times, weeks [...]

Earlier this week, we had dinner with our friends Carla and Iron Mark.  They were telling us how, while on vacation in the mountains, they had fixed pizza on the grill.
This idea intrigued me for a few reasons, but, most notably, because my husband is obsessed with pizza.  Seriously, during one of our first phone [...]
