Wordless Wednesday 2

Voila!

Matt cooked dinner tonight. Yes cooked, like with real food. No microwave or can involved! I am so proud of the Hubs!!!
Thanks Voila!

Crock Pot Love

Thanks to a delicious pot roast recipe from my grandma, Matt and I had a wonderful dinner. So great in fact, I have vowed to use my crock pot more often.

I think Matt agrees...

Alterations

Did a little sewing tonight, not Stephanie's quilt. I am planning on attacking that thing soon. I am hoping to have the top complete by this weekend...

Tonight I was working on some alterations for a friend at work. I never have to take up pants, I always have to look for large cuffs to let out!

I have been playing around with the macro feature on my camera and I love it...

Wordless Wednesday 1

I think I am going to start a new feature on the blog... Wordless Wednesday.

More Sewing

I have all the shirts I needed to complete Stephanie's quilt now. So I cut them out tonight along with the random High School shirts for the throw pillow. Stephanie wanted them included, but I love things to have a "theme" so her quilt only has UNC shirts on it.

Here is a picture of the final layout. Sewing will being soon!



Here is a look at the pillow front that I pieced together tonight. We still have to get fabric for the back of the quilt and this pillow.

Big Weekend

This has been a very busy weekend for us! Matt had his Campbell Law School Symposium Friday, we had Barrister's Ball on Saturday, and today is a Super Bowl party. Whew!

I apologize for not blogging more lately, I have been busying helping Matt with this symposium stuff (don't even ask me how many papers I hole-punched) and then I got sick Thursday :(

But luckily I bounced back and had a grand time on Friday and Saturday night. Friday night Matt and I went out to celebrate the symposium. To all the LR staff, it went off perfectly! Here is Matt's opening speech:

Did you hear my nervous laughter? I had all these people turn to look at me and I am looking like a nerd taking a video! I was like, "Oh man!" But it was seriously sweet that Matt mentioned me... awww!

Then that night we ate at a wonderful restaurant called Fins. It was rated the #2 seafood restaurant in the country by Bon Appetit magazine in Dec. 2008 and the Triangle's best restaurant in 2008. Matt and I stumbled across this little gem just because it was close to the hotel and we just wanted to walk somewhere close :)

Saturday we had another wonderful meal at Sullivan's Steakhouse in downtown Raleigh. We had a nice little private room with about 8 other couples that Matt goes to school with. It was a great time. Then it was onto the Barrister's Ball. Here is a couple of pictures from that, I didn't take too many due to the fact that I wanted to dance!

The King and I


Me, Whit, and Matt.

It is hard to believe that it is only a few more months until graduation for Matt! We can't wait!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone!
