Backyard BBQ Engagement Party

Earlier this summer, our friends Laura and Benoît hosted an intimate engagement party for us.
We had a shots theme and they prepared all the appetizers in mini shot-sized portions. It was a wonderful day and we're so lucky to have such amazing friends.

Buster & Lucie

Buster met a new friend today. We celebrated the new year in New Jersey with a galette des rois, or king's cake.

Laura & Benoit: The Wedding

I feel so very lucky that I was able to see Laura get married in France.

Jersey Girl in Colorado: Skiing

So happy Laura and Benoit were able to visit us in Colorado. We checked out Winter Park together and had a great time. The Après-ski drinks were the best.

A Bachelorette in the City

Recently I  visited New York for Laura's bachelorette party. We took a fun class at body + pole, had an amazing dinner at Dos Caminos, and ended the night at a karaoke place somewhere in Koreatown.

I can't wait for the wedding in May!

Jersey Girl in Philly

Laura came to visit me here in Philadelphia last weekend. We had fun eating at El Vez, drinking a boot of beer at Brauhaus Schmitz, and picking up a giant bag of pasta at the Italian Market.

Bon Année 2011!

I had a wonderful New Years in Richmond with my friends Laura & Benoit from New Jersey. We explored Belle Isle park, shopped in Carytown, went to a 90s dance party, and had an amazing French brunch at Can Can Brasserie. I'll be spending the first part of 2011 in Pennsylvania for work, so it was good to enjoy Richmond while I can.
