I've been away from the blog for the last couple weeks busily preparing for our 2nd Halloween party in the Treehaus (that's the nickname for our loft). After forcing everyone in the apartment to take part in my hellish Pinterest crafts again (I think I had Eric and Annie hammering nails into…
I'm very excited to announce that tomorrow I'll be holding the RDU Baton! The baton is a photo relay project where people in the Triangle showcase their daily lives and favorite spots in the area. I've known about the project for awhile now (it was started by another freelance designer–…
As you can see by the title, this post is WAY overdue. My friend Amanda posted her photos from our trip last week, and I realized I should pull mine out of the ol' archive before next summer rolls around. Since my friend Amanda and her husband moved to Richmond, it's become a bit of a tradi…
Recently a crop of anti-stock photo sites have launched, and I must say, I can't get enough. I have been saving these suckers to my design folder every week like a crazy person. If you are a designer, blogger, or just someone who manages the content of a website you know how awful stock pho…
In honor of the 30-year run of a Western, NC pig pickin', my friends hosted their own on Jordan Lake this past weekend. It was a perfect fall day to hang out with coworkers and friends, and despite living in the area for the last seven years, I have never made it out to Jordan Lake. Sunset o…

To be completely honest, I've been loving the blog for a long time now, I just now finally got around to reading the final post! The blog is an experiment between two designers with opposing relationship issues who try to date each other for 40 days. After each date, they blog about the exp…
Last Friday was A Hero A Fake's (Eric's band's) last show. It was a very bittersweet ending. The band brought Eric and I together after I went to a show on my spring break my junior year of high school, and I've made countless friends at the shows. It's also been great to see these bo…
Perhaps it was my most recent trip to the mountains this past weekend, but I was super nostalgic for our 4th of July trip to Asheville and realized I hadn't posted any photos! I was a bit busy gathering footage for the video, so I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would have liked. Hope you enjoy these phone photos instead!
July 4th weekend, we took a surprise trip to Asheville for Nathan's birthday. We had the best time exploring new restaurants, walking around downtown, and hiking through the Blue Ridge. I definitely fall more in love with Asheville each time I visit! This time, I took less photos and decide…
