Oyster Roasts and Champagne Toasts!

The sheer fabulousness of being a young twenty-something is enough to make you want to revel in everyday life, but the joys of new experiences and huge turning points really make for the cherry on top.

I am so absorbed with celebrating the career moves, engagements, weddings, and recent home purchases of friends very near and dear to my heart. Being a bridal consultant throughout college and having a very brief stint at Southern Weddings Magazine, thank God I get to channel all my energy towards helping Lindsay plan her ohsobeautifultodiefor wedding in May! Coral and beaches and beers, OH MY!

And now, finally, that I am not living off pennies and parents... Im outta here on the weekends as much as possible... except when I am cheering on the Wolfpack (and courtesy of my sweet boyfriend, I am forced to "cheer" for the Northern Colorado Bears [where his brother coaches] and Broncos football, too!) In October alone we will host friends and family for the NCSU/Virginia Tech game, go camping, head to Denver, visit the new homes of friends in Roanoke, and rent a cabin in the NC Mountains! woop woop.

So many of my friends are in great places in life and while I miss everyone so much, I admire that we are all in different places doing different things. I love us.  But, I will admit, I am seriouslyyyyyyy ready for Caroline and Eva to get back from New Zealand. Come home already!!! 

I am living in the absolute LAST place I ever thought I would be after college... smack dab IN my college town. But with a FABULOUS job that I totally love with a company I admire, I'll be the first to say I am more lucky to be where I am... and with this view!

HOW in the world can anyone chose which buyer/shop/whatever to even LOOK at... much less actually buy. Too many to choose... any help?

What a relief!

FABULOUS! I am just thrilled to have the blog back up... even if for no other reason than [much needed] free therapy for myself.

Spending my days in Durham, NC, the home of the Dookies, proves to be a daily source of entertainment and a bit of culture shock to this Wilmington, NC native. I will say, however, that Durham's organic and candid backdrop mixed with it's unique people make for a great setting to my corporate america job. I get to mix things up a bit and I really mean it when I say never.a.dull.moment.

For example, today I ate lunch at a place that sold fried chicken and waffles -- and ONLY fried chicken and waffles. I mean it... nothing else. Don't judge, I have to let the client decide where we eat. Was I the only one there with long wavy, blonde hair? no. Was I the only one there clad in J.Crew? not even. Was I the only one there on a business lunch? also a no. This is the Durham norm, my friends... CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

Alas, the times comes to cook dinner for the only stable thing in my life: my sweet boyfriend. And needless to say, we will be having anything that doesn't involve chicken OR waffles.
