Hey ya’ll! Friday…we made it. It has been quite the week, filled with exciting things like appearances on Foodgawker, figure drawing classes and sunny, 70 degree weather coupled with very busy days at work, on the running trail and on the home front. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful, and I’m hoping to make it up to Frederick, MD for a huge barn sale (Matt really, reallyyyyy wants to go, too) as well as this cool retail event called Thread at one of our favorite DC haunts, Union Market.

Top that off with a much-needed trip to Wegmans, and we have a fantastic weekend ahead! Well… I speak for myself. :)
