1 // I traveled to Durham NC this weekend to meet my best friend
Kate to shop for her wedding dress!! I was so excited to be with Kate and her
family for such a special event and we had such a wonderful time together. The
weekend was full of late night giggles, champagne toasts, and me fighting back
the sentimental weepies over seeing my beautiful friend as a bubbly
bride-to-be. She said yes to the dress and is going to be the most beautiful bride!
2 // After a day trying on wedding dresses, we ventured
out to a local Durham hangout spots - Fullsteam Brewery.
This place was right up my alley! Fullsteam
is a local brewery who’s goal is to “create distinctly Southern
beer that celebrates the culinary and agricultural traditions
of the South", and “pioneer a Southern Beer Economy, directly
supporting local farms, agricultural entrepreneurs, and local beer-related
businesses.” The industrial interior was overflowing with character and charm.
Pinball machines, picnic-style tables, and a food truck out front all set the
tone for a relaxed, beer garden atmosphere. The sounds of laughter and casual
conversation filled the space, as people played games, tried out the local
brews, and even socialized their pooches! Fullsteam is a must see next time
you’re in the neighborhood. Another of my favorites from my trip was Greer Street Garden. This place is perfect
for a sunny afternoon lunch or cocktail, and the grilled pimento cheese… I
mean… amazing!
3 // This week my baby bro Tyler comes home! Tyler lives in
Fort Lauderdale so we don’t see him as often as we’d like but when he is
able to come home, it feels so good to have him back. Ruby and Eloise, our two
pug pups, miss him terribly too and will go crazy when they see him walk
through the door. My mom will cook up all of his favorites and we’ll all
look forward to catching up on the porch as a family. I can’t wait to see that
guy!
Happy Monday! May your week be filled with lots of lovely things.
