Happy Friday, y’all! Welcome to the weekend. This week was such a good one since it started out in Charleston. I honestly think Charleston is my favorite city in America – David would agree that that is SO white girl basic, but honestly, it’s just SO CUTE, CHARMING, and UPLIFTING. I LOVE walking the streets, people watching and “house hunting” (pretending, of course). David and I haven’t decided where to go for our 5 year anniversary in May yet and I might rally for Charleston again. haha The trip was great, too, because I got to hang out with bloggers that I’ve known forever via the world wide web, but never met in person. I think that’s been the best part about blogging is the people I’ve met and friendships I’ve made along the way… that’s probably all of life though, right? The people make the place and the journey 🙂

David and I had a low key Valentine’s day and went to Botega for dinner. I got there at 5:00 to grab a table and we ended up with one of the best seats in the house. Afterwards, we came home, ate some Reese’s, drank some champagne, and watched 500 days of summer – a movie neither of us had seen. It was a great Valentines. I hope no matter what you did or who you were with your day was a little sweeter than normal. With the events of Florida recently, I think we could use a few more days that celebrate love.

This weekend David is OFF and I am HOME for the first time in 3 weekends. So I’m really excited about it! We have some friends coming in town and are planning to have a low key weekend. I hope yours is a relaxing one and thank you, as always, for reading this blog. Cheers, y’all!

Welcome to the weekend! I’m so excited to just be laying low this weekend and staying in town. AND David is off! yessssssss. For fellowship his hours are a bit more defined – he’s actually been getting off at 5:00 pm regularly – say what!? And he gets TWO weekends off a month opposed to TWO DAYS off a month like Residency. He was actually sick this week which is the first time in 3 years of dating and 4 years of marriage that I’ve seen him sick. I would be lying if I said it has been painless so far – moving is hard for so many reasons. And with David working a new job, in a new place, with a new computer system, the stress level has been a bit high. But I’ve been SO THANKFUL that we are close to family. My mom actually helped me hang the curtains in my office yesterday and it was such a wonderful realization that we were home. I’ve hung curtains by myself everywhere we have lived so far – Jackson, MS, the Carrboro Cottage, and the Davie Circle House… so her being there to help, while David was working hard at the hospital, was pretty amazing and not something I take for granted.

One of my best friend’s from highschool is actually in town today so he’s helping me put the finishing touches on our kitchen table, hang the string lights outside, and might even be my photographer this afternoon! haha I’ll be sure to put that on Instastories if it happens.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend and thank you SO MUCH for reading this blog!
