Good morning! Did anyone else watch the live coverage of the Boston Marathon yesterday morning (or watch it in person)? Pretty exciting stuff! I’ve been to Boston twice for Marathon Monday and it’s a blast; watching it on my laptop wasn’t quite as awesome but it was nice to be able to see who was winning and watch them finish! I enjoyed Continue Reading …

I threw together a quick meal last night that I thought was worth sharing with you all, too! Unfortunately I don’t have a real recipe since I wasn’t planning on blogging about it and therefore didn’t measure ingredients, but this is the type of recipe that works best when the ingredients are haphazardly added, anyway. That’s my favorite Continue Reading …

Hello and happy Sunday! Matt and I have been having a nice weekend here in Chapel Hill. On Friday night we saw The Hunger Games! We both loved it (and have both read all the books — don’t see the movie before you read the books!) — what did you guys think? I was really impressed with how they translated it all into a movie. Plus, it was Continue Reading …
