Weekend Update

Friday

Dinner and Drinks at Santana Row

and I also got to see this super cute pic:

Saturday

We headed out to Eastridge mall to get a couple errands done.

First stop, cheesesteaks:

Then clothes shopping for my interview this week,

followed my getting my ring sized.

THEN!

I finally, FINALLY, got to see Les Miserables.

I cried.

(like you're suprised!)

We then came home, made our own nice dinner,

and ate some "healthy" candy that we found.

Sunday

For Mike's 29th birthday, I got him tickets to the IONS 40th anniversary event.

On Sunday, accompanied by GORGEOUS weather, we drove into Petaluma.

reminds me of home..

We explored the campus, had some wine, and walked the labyrinth.

There were door prizes there, and luckily MIKE WON!

Looks like we'll be driving up to Petaluma one weekend!

After IONS, we found out that Lagunitas was only 5 minutes away.

So, OF COURSE, we went!

I'm starting to like California :)

Raleigh Beer Week (And G'bye Flying Saucer!)

If there was ever a bar that was near to my heart,

it's Flying Saucer.

3-22-10, I met a guy there for the first time.

"Super Casual, for a beer and some trivia"

That night I had the best first date of my life,

followed by the only first kiss that I still remember.

Fast forward 2.5 years, and those two kids are heading to San Jose.

Anyway, Wednesday's are "Keep the Glass" nights.

Some are cool, some are generic,

but when there are major events, say

RALEIGH BEER WEEK,

There's always a specialty glass that Mike and I clamor for.

This one seemed more bittersweet.

It's a great glass with Raleigh, NC

and "America's Smartest Beer Drinking City"

on the side.

I know we can come back whenever.

(Mike does have 15 more beers before he hits 200 and gets his plate)

There's also direct flights from SFO to RDU,

but for some reason.

Last night seemed like a nice goodbye to the place that brought us together.

Friday Favorites (and a letter or two)

I really don't know where to start this post.

The overwhelming support from both IRL friends, blog friends and Facebook friends about our little announcement Wednesday has been fantastic. I so greatly appreciate it. Monday/Tuesday I was feeling very dark and low about the entire move and quite lonely, but it's the little high-fives that make this process SO much easier.

Cheers to you, from NC to CA!

I'm currently hosting my first giveaway here, sponsored by Julep, and I happen to have heard that the winner might get a little extra somethin' somethin' from yours truly. Sooo, check it out, and enter.

Favorite Activity around Raleigh

Definitely Cow Spotting.

It's ridiculous, but so cool!

I love that this little art installation is here during my last weeks.

Favorite Perk of Moving Away.

Being perfectly allowed to make plans with someone every night.

Favorite New Productive Place

a Pint + a full set of list making and sketch drawing.

Holy productive hour Batman!

Favorite Way to Day Dream

I'm obsessed with planning things. I love lists, plans, schedules and a concrete idea of all the little elements of life. That includes outfits, music, books, and what I might do in a random hotel in Tulsa.
This week's Friday Fancies was "road trip" -fitting, eh?-
and I'm definitely pouring over these posts to get inspiration for the road trip, and our Euro Trip

Favorite Nighttime Ritual

Cocoa Puffs + Milk.

Need I say more?

I promise to get a bit more time this weekend (ish) to get this blog back to where it was before this whole moving thing. 74 73 days and counting and I fully plan on sharing every little second with you, plus, we have a lot to catch up on. Have a great weekend loves. (and go score yourself some nail polish!)
