Fall

Fall, the season of football, gorgeous weather, and me being irrationally jealous of women with proportionally appropriate calves being able to rock tall boots. 

 

Happy Friday ;)

Fun People

I got an email at Cheers With Love yesterday from a woman asking if I could make labels for 40 oz. beers for her friends 40th birthday party.

A. Of course B. Can i hang out with you? You people sound fun.

Now You See Me

It took a few days to get our internet and cable turned on in our new place so at Gretch's birthday (Happy Birthday Mama!) dinner on Saturday I borrowed a couple movies from Bobby Blockbuster. 

I really wanted to see Now You See Me in theaters, but it never happened, so I jumped on Bobby to borrow it once it came out. What did I know about the movie? It was pretty flashy, with magicians that rob a bank from their stage, and stared the really cute Ilsa Fischer, and that guy who played Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network. 

Zach and I put it in last night and it did not disappoint. Normally I have extreme A.D.D. while watching movies, not to mention I was also bone tired for a week of moving/doing exciting things all weekend. However I was glued to the TV the whole time. It was funny, entertaining, and the stars were easy to look at. I highly recommend it for the next time you are having a comfy evening in on the couch (P, I'm looking at you girl).

Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I'm looking forward to my first weekend of city living, and it is going to be a busy one! On the agenda: 

Friends invited Zach and I to the Nats game - in the company suite. Yes, thank you!

Birthday dinner in Baltimore for Mama Gretch
Possibly a pedicure - it is gross how much I need one

Zach's cousin Ben is in town so we will run around with him

Really want to try to make this delicious quiche recipe from my sister-in-law

Happy Friday everyone :)

All Moved In!

Well I still can't walk normally from being so sore from moving, but the Reeds are officially moved in to our DC apartment! The place is definitely small - making sure the kitchen is clean and careful timing of bathroom schedules will not take precedence in keeping our marriage happy - but we are so happy that we made the move. We woke up this morning and had our first run in the city. We passed the Washington Monument with a gorgeous full moon, and you can't really beat that can you? More pictures when the place is all put together and pretty, but right now here is a picture of our couch with the new rug we got with our CB gift certificates.

Never Forget

One week till D.C.!

Sorry for the absence, things have been a little crazy town these days. Its crazy, in one week I will be going to bed in our new apartment in D.C.! But until then, packing, homework, and So You Think You Can Dance finale.

Summer Travel: Cape Cod

Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope most of you are lucky enough to have today off and have something fun planned. As summer unofficially comes to a close today (yeah right, its still fricken hot), I would like to wrap up my summer travel adventures with a recap of my trip to the Cape. 

Zach's grandparents, who continue to amaze me every day with their awesomeness, rented a house in Falmouth, MA (Cape Cod) for the month of August. I have never been, so I immediately invited my self, but so did a few other family members, and the first week in August was a little family get-together. Zach and I left on a Friday night after work and spent the night in Greenwich, Connecticut. His cousin Molly has the most adorable, little apartment on top of a retail store on Greenwich Avenue. Greenwich Avenue is store after store of top-of-the-line shops (Vineyard Vines, Polo, Tory Burch, Kate Spade ...) and adorable restaurants. Molly used to accessories Ralph Lauren retail stores, so her apartment was decorated impeccably in every nook and cranny. Saturday morning we all had a crepe breakfast at one of the restaurants on the Avenue and then Molly took us on a little tour of the city. Very beautiful, and very rich.

As we continued our travels, we got to the Cape in time for a lobster feast on the porch of Maw Maw & Pops beautiful rented house. Falmouth is the definition of quaint to me. A little main street runs through town. Beautiful cape cod houses everywhere, with yards full of hydrangias. No one has AC, because the high never beats 80. And the beach was less than a mile away. I'm pretty sure this was the first time I had Maine lobster, and it was delicous. Although I probably prefer crab, lobster is a whole hell of a lot easier to get out of its shell. Two cracks and you have lobster meat for days! 

Over the next few days we experienced Cape Cod living to the fullest. We did some beach time and caught up on our tans. We took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and then a tragically long bus tour around the island. We dined on lobster and chowder (chowdah to the locals), and Zach and I went on beautiful morning runs through Falmouth. It was so relaxing. I have never really come back from a vacation before and been a little depressed that it was over, but when I got off the metro the morning after vacation to all the hustle and the boom, I was very sad I wasn't still on the Cape. It was a wonderful time, thanks to all the family for the wonderful hospitality.
