Let’s Have A Coffee Date (Vol. 8)

Hey, friends! I wanted to have another Maine post ready for today, but we’ve been focusing on supporting the many, many friends we have in the Houston area as much as we can. For those who have asked, we are nowhere near the devastation (we’re talking over 250 miles away), but many of our friends from college are from the area, and quite a few of my high school friends also moved to Houston, so we’ve been talking to them and trying to help from a distance. I thought I would do a quick post of life updates and work on travel posts this weekend when Chris is working!


My best friend’s bachelorette party was this weekend! I picked the Omni Dallas as the location, and it was the perfect place for it! The view of the skyline from the pool deck was just stunning, especially at sunset. One of my favorite parts of the party was an “Only in Dallas” food tour! I liked it so much that I will be writing a post about it soon.


I am now officially at less than two months from my due date! I’m definitely uncomfortable and have a lot of trouble sleeping, but overall, I’m doing really well. Our temperatures dropped a lot this weekend, so I’ve been taking advantage of that and going on several walks. We get to see our baby boy on an ultrasound on Friday, and I’m super excited because it’s the first time we’ve seen him since our gender ultrasound.

I’ve been on another reading roll after quite the lull in July. It has a lot to do with my lack of sleep, but it’s been so nice to read more recently, and I’m excited to share my latest reads with y’all soon!

With everything going on lately, I totally missed the fact that college football starts this week, and the NFL will start soon too. I’m only participating in one fantasy football league this year since I will have a newborn soon, but I’m still super excited for the best time of the year.

This time of year (the summer to fall transition) makes me want to buy all the clothes, so I'm pretty thankful I don't know what my size will be after pregnancy, so I can save money! I did buy some more flowy dresses to get me through the next few months, though.

Now it's your turn! What's going on in your life?

  1. A food tour sounds like a perfect way to kick off your friends bachelorette party! I can't believe that you're only two months away from your due date! I actually decide to not participate in Fantasy Football this year because I figured that I would be too busy with the babies, but I'm glad that you're still going to do it! My sister is playing this year though, and I have a feeling I might be helping her out.

  13. What an amazing city scape you've posted here! I'd never been in such places like Maine nor somewhere around, but highly suggest you to visit Ulysses or KS itself, it's a splendid place! It's a rare thing in my life nowadays when I'm leaving my hometown and heading to another state for work or something, so there are not many options in order to meet some new people to me, but it's way easier with this videochat https://coomeet.com/ You know. I don't like all those text-only things, because it's quite important to me, to see the person I'm chattering with eye to eye, to see their real emotions
