Weekend Recap

We kicked off Friday morning by volunteering at Habitat for Humanity as an office. I have a new respect for our contractors and will not be quitting my day job any time soon.

Friday evening, I traded in my work gloves for my dancing shoes and we headed to the Piedmont Club for the 1831 Gala. The evening was filled with good friends and lots of laughter and dancing.

Saturday, I spent the day in Greenville catching up with a dear friend and seeing some of the guys we went to school with. We had a delicious lunch at Tupelo Honey and did some shopping. I'm super excited about my new blanket scarf. Now I just need the cold weather to come back.

I swung by Trader Joes on my way home and let's just say I got a little carried away. I haven't been in a while so I made sure to stock up on some essentials - i.e. cookie butter and dark chocolate peanut butter cups - along with some new frozen items to try. I'm still trying to restock my freezer after it died two months ago. I did show some restraint and did not purchase the Cookie Butter Cheesecake. Who even thinks of these things?!

I capped off a great day by making the most delicious dinner and watching a movie. Sometimes you just need a big bowl of seafood pasta. You can find the recipe here. 

I couldn't decide between watching more episodes of Scandal or a Valentine's Day Hallmark Movie. As much as I hate Valentine's Day, I went with a cheesy movie since watching Scandal has been keeping me up at night. 

Sunday was a low key day complete with church and then a fun lunch afterwards. This was the second weekend in a row that I was in town all weekend and needless to say, I enjoyed it!
