I’m loving all the colors and prints at Zara right now. If you’ve been following me on here and on Instagram you may have noticed how crazy I’ve been going over floral everything this year.

Last Monday I got a pretty drastic haircut. I cut off about 12 inches, can you believe it? And I still have a pretty long (and angled) bob if that tells you anything about how long I let my hair get. I wish I had a picture to show you all, but I am never camera ready when I need to be. I know, I’m a “bad” blogger.. Hopefully I’ll take some blog worthy photos soon though. After my haircut I checked into our hotel in Raleigh and waited for Brian. We had dinner at Ale House, and watched The Hobbit back in the room.
On Tuesday Brian drove me to work. Such a sweetheart. He picked me up and we had dinner at The Melting Pot for the first time ever. The rumors are true – it is expensive, but so delicious!
Wednesday. I worked a half day at the office, then visited another office I do a bit of freelance work for in the city. I met Brian and his friend back at the hotel, we went to Rudinos, then went bowling. We played three games and I think I broke 100 every time, but my last game I bowled a 144, and both Brian and I were shocked, because the last time I tried bowling, I was so terrible! My wrist would always bend to the left just as I released the ball. Who knows, maybe all these years of typing at the computer all day has corrected something, haha.
Thursday. I took a long nap, then we watched Seven Psychopaths and Brian brought me some food off the hotel menu.
Friday. We checked out, and ate at La Hacienda in Durham. We watched Silver Linings Playbook back at the house – I love that movie. I will be buying it haha. Surprisingly, Brian liked it a lot, too.
Saturday. We had a very relaxed day. We ate corndogs, and watched movies (Dark Skies, The Great and Powerful Oz), and ate a ton of Bojangles which Auntie brought home.
Sunday. We went for a short run in the rain. It felt amazing. It was nice and cool and cloudy and barely raining. It just felt like mist on my face. I wish every day I ran were like that.
Happy Throwback Thursday! Brian and I are having a great week together in Raleigh. ;)
I can’t believe our one year anniversary is less than 4 weeks from now! The photos below are from the end of our wedding ceremony. Both of us are pretty shy so I later realized how much more relaxed we both were once the ceremony portion of the day was over. I don’t know of too many weddings where the couple kiss and hug once they’re announced husband and wife so the picture of us hugging at the altar is special to me.
We were both just happy to be together.

A couple of weeks ago I went to visit Ashley for a little retail therapy trip (cough, cough), and before we left I took some photos of her adorable dog, Lola.
Isn’t she so sweet? Oh, and even little Tux made a quick appearance, haha.
I actually have a new lens coming this Wednesday, I can’t wait! Brian ordered it for me this past weekend. He is so sweet, he’s always encouraged my creative side.. I just wish my brothers were here or that I had more people near me who liked to be photographed!
I am so excited for the next week. Brian spent this weekend (#40) here with me, and then he will be in town for his classes all of next week, too.
This Friday we went to dinner at Outback and then watched Django for the first time. Saturday was so beautiful outside so we went cruising then had lunch at Los Tres. We learned that NC State was having a scrimmage so we went to Carter Finley Stadium to watch. There were a ton of people, and getting to sit out in the sunlight was wonderful. Brian and I decided we’re going to do that every year. I wish I could’ve taken pictures, but I looked a mess anyway and my phone died on me at lunch, haha. Before heading back to the house we rented 2 movies, This is 40 and The Haunting in Connecticut 2, and Auntie brought a ton of BaDa Wings home for dinner.
Since we’re spending the entire week together this week, Brian went back early today so that we’d both have time to pack for the week. Yay!
