Last January Weekend + Weekly Workouts

After a crazy few weeks of travel, K and I were home this weekend for a nice mix of relaxing and socializing. We had a dinner date on Friday night at Angelo’s Wine Bar. Angelo’s has great wine selection and delicious food – we started with cups of pasta e fagioli, and shared a butternut squash salad, grilled octopus salad, and Italian sausage and peppers.

I fell asleep on the couch almost immediately after getting home. #thisis32 😉 On Saturday, the temps reached close to 50 degrees so we went on a long walk and checked out a local furniture store, nadeau. Nadeau has a treasure trove of beautiful wood pieces, at a fraction of the cost you would find at a larger chain {ahem Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn}. We found several pieces that I’m SO excited about, including benches for our kitchen nook and a new desk.

Later that afternoon we went to a fun winter party for our neighborhood block club, and I met up with friends for dinner at Hopleaf in Andersonville. {PSA: The salmon, crispy Brussels sprouts, and fries can’t be missed}.

On Sunday morning, it was 46 degrees when I woke up {!!} so K and I ran before I met a friend for brunch at flo’s new location in Lakeview.

On Sunday afternoon, we finished shopping for the kitchen nook and ordered a table at west elm! I have been researching what to put in this spot for months and I’m so excited for a finished “eat in” kitchen area after living in our house without one for 1.5 years.

What a packed weekend, but a wonderful few days connecting with friends to end the month of January.
