Hello 2013!

With the holidays and such, I've been very neglectful of my little blog lately. However, today is a new day and I look forward to chronicling my 2013 adventures. First, a brief recap of the last couple of months. 

The Sur La Table in River Oaks was the only store in Texas (and the South!) to host the beloved Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, on her book tour for her new cookbook Foolproof. The Home You Make and I took the day off and patiently waited in line for her arrival. She was very warm and gracious in person, but unfortunately our interaction was brief.

Here's a shot of her grand arrival and a shot of our brief interlude:

The boy and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary at the end of November at the fabulous Triniti restaurant:

Then I got into the holiday spirit by visiting the Houston Zoo's inaugural holiday light display Zoo Lights. It was amazing visiting the zoo at night with such awesome displays. I definitely hope they do it again next year.

And finally, I closed out the year in these lovelies:

Happy New Year!! See you soon for more in 2013!
