Wedding planning has been progressing at rabid speed. There are plenty of things I thought I could wait to do, but apparently that’s not an option. Savannah has become a major destination wedding spot, with April being one of the most popular months. I don’t get any sort of preferential treatment being a local/native, so…

I love having a short work week (thanks to MLK weekend), but I think it has contributed to this week being extra crazy at work. At least the weekend is in sight! Last weekend we NYC experienced its first snow. It wasn’t much, but it was beautiful. I loved walking out of the bar…

I had the most amazing Thanksgiving weekend. It is my most favorite holiday and I loved that Albert was there to experience it with me. You’ll see bits and pieces of the weekend in posts to come, but here are some fun things from recent NYC life. One of my best friends got engaged the…
Read MoreI decided to have Wine Wednesday last night and now I’ve got Headache Thursday. But in less than a week I’ll be home so nothing can bring me down! I discovered this spiced labneh at Murray’s and love it as a dip for veggies. Over the weekend, Albert and I attended one of the New…
Read MoreSlowly but surely I am starting to get into the swing of things at my new job. I still have those “what the heck am I doing?!” and “am I doing this right?!” feelings, but they are beginning to ease. It is only week two, after all. One thing that’s very different is that I…
