6 weeks ago, I posted about a Dallas bucket list – things to do, places to go, food to eat, and people to see before our move to NYC. well, that list now looks like this:
we did it all! and with a handful of days to spare.
our weekend looks like this: working, moving (out of our condo – we’ll stay with family for several nights), sleeping, running, brunching, napping, and grilling.
what does your weekend look like?
Oh wow – kuddos to you for knocking that list clean! I’m very impressed.
it took some planning, but totally worth it! and lots of great memories.
You got your entire Dallas bucket list done?? You two are awesome! I love that!
I’m also drooling over those dinner pics – particularly the app, it looks amazing!!
Enjoy your last weekend in Dallas!!!

it was a lot of fun! great food, awesome people…so many memories. we still have some action-packed days ahead before we hit the road.
I seriously just simultaneously got the chills and a stomach flip over excitement for you guys! Chills again just typing that!
I can’t believe it is here – glad you got everything done you wanted to, and had what looks like an amazing dinner as well.
we have kindof an exciting weekend… we are going to be in the audience for a Wheel of Fortune taping this afternoon (SQUEE!), and I’m shopping for new cooktops for… our new house!
I will be sharing details soon…
oh and the Health Benefits of Drinking Red Wine!? I love you.

I want to know about Pat & Vanna! and a new house?? seriously so many exciting things in this one little comment. cannot wait to read more about your new house. in the meantime, CONGRATS! I’ll drink a glass of red wine to that.
Wow you did your whole list!! That is so awesome!! I am excited for the weekend, ‘us’ night tomorrow with M, starting with a long-awaited massage!

Hey Dorry! Love your blog & inspirational photos, and congrats on the move to NYC! I wish my comment were more relevant to this awesome post (now I’m seriously considering a treadmill desk), but I’m dying to know – how did you get into travel writing?
XO,
Caroline
thank you so much for your sweet comment! my husband worked for a luxury travel company when he lived in London several years ago, and in addition to being the Sales & Marketing Director, he also got into some travel writing for them. we both started travel writing for the company in 2009-2010 as we traveled around the U.S. and throughout Europe on our honeymoon. he still has connections with the company and we get to visit some amazing hotels!
Moving can be a pain, but I trust you are highly organised and used to doing this:) I cannot wait to hear about your upcoming adventures.
Big hugs!
Just found your blog through Lindsey Cotter’s – and I’ve been here for over an hour now reading up on your posts! Wow – it’s inspiring and interesting and wonderful and how exciting that you’re moving – I LOVE moving (I know I know, that’s not what most people say). But change is SO exciting. Will be following how it goes.
thank you so much, Petra! I love moving, too. for me & my husband, it’s an important part of life to take on challenges, see new places, and have new experiences. moving itself can be stressful at times, but I simply LOVE getting rid of all the belongings I don’t actually use or need anymore.
