Does anyone else fear that the world would explode if Florence Welch and Adele got on the stage together? I mean, two INSANELY powerful voices that I am obsessed with.

Excitement.. on overload
Not trying to brag (ok maybe a little) but today is my Friday (woop!) Yes, after that lovely, long, Thanksgiving weekend, today is Mo’s and my Friday because we are headed up to Asheville (granted it is for Mo’s work, but there will be lots of fun play too!)
Last year was our first time going to Asheville, and it has now become an annual event that I absolutely love. Asheville is this...
A Very Rohde Thanksgiving
Mo and I stayed in Raleigh this year for Thanksgiving. We are headed back to California for Christmas, so two trips to the West Coast about a month apart was not an option. Plus, spending most of our holiday in an airport did not sound pleasant either. While we each definitely missed the time with our family and friends, and the time honored traditions we’ve shared with them over the years,...
Conversations with your best friend when your...
Me: I'm not sure about your household, but we are on red alert at mine. Mo is likely to flip a switch at any moment pending the way this game plays out.
KB: Hahahaha considering we are hoping for opposite outcomes, one of us is not going to have a pleasant other half at the end of the night
Me: I think my will for UCLA to win is over shadowed by my fear if they DON'T win. I'm going to prepare Lou's and my overnight bags and check hotel availability.
KB: Ugh. I wish we were just together so we could cower in the corner with our mutts together
Me: Agreed. Or at least duck out for garlic bread at Rusty. Because let's be honest, it's not like they really know we are here.
And a Very Happy Birthday to Jenny
The other week a bunch of the girls gathered at Capital Club 16 to celebrate Jenny’s Birthday. I wish I had the right words to describe Jenny. She is flat out awesome. She reminds me of the cool kid in high school you so wanted to be friends with (minus the attitude but with the enviable wardrobe). She is absolutely hilarious and truly one of the kindest people I have ever met. Plus, her and...
Flashbacks and (minor) Freak outs
I was just hunting through one of my drawers in my bathroom which has become a catch all for many things. Samples of perfume, bobby pins, hair ties, face wash, extra buttons to shirts, etc. I was hunting for a bobby pin because frankly the front portion of my hair is doing something today that cannot be controlled any other way.
As I was grasping to hold my hair in some sort of contained...
Boston
This past weekend was for family. Mo and I made the quick hour and a half flight up to Boston to see his parents, his sister, her husband, and their beautiful daughter Aryana. Mo’s family is fantastic. I love that when we all get together it is all about quality time, eating, drinking, laughing, and just genuinely enjoying each others company.
It is always so crazy to me that despite...
Indoor Shootin' and Drinkin' →
So in love with the living social and groupon deals we get in NC. Especially when “shootin and drinkin” is in the subject line. They are vastly different than the notifications I sometimes get from California deals and it absolutely cracks me up.
I think I have Allison, Mark, Mo’s and my next double date all set.
Mo and I just added a documentary about A Tribe Called Quest to our Netflix queue.
I am literally giddy. We saw a preview for it and I immediately started to tap my leg, and bob my head remembering all their amazing music.
Netflix get it together and deliver immediately.
Bickett Market for Kate's Birthday
This past weekend Mo and I went to our friend Kate’s 30th Birthday celebration at Bickett Market. The evening consisted of a very fun oyster roast, cocktails to share around the fire (while watching the LSU vs Alabama game on a projector screen), a dance party at the end of the night, and of course lots of celebrating with the birthday girl and good friends.
This was the first time Mo and...
Oh People of Tumblr...
You never disappoint with your song suggestions and the music you share. I have been listening to the new Florence and the Machine album all day, with Shake it Out on repeat, like never ending repeat.
This song is sooooo good…. and if I knew how to share music, or really do anything technical on this, I would share. Honest. Instead you get lyrics. Cherish them. Or go download the song for...

Wanderlust..
I am sure this is an internal struggle everyone has. But I feel like Mo and I are constantly torn between two different worlds. On one hand we want to buy a house, put down roots, set up a college savings account for any (future) possible kids.
On the other hand this world is so big. Immense. I think that is a good word to describe it. There are so many places I want to go, things I want to...
Things that are awesome:
I just made a pizza and poured myself a glass of wine. I plan on eating the entire pizza while watching a movie and enjoying this rainy day.
“We focused three years on our relationship and found that it gave us an even...”
– Oh just Beyonce, speaking the truth.
It is THAT Time of Year...
Friends I am so so so so so excited. It is that time of year in North Carolina when I fall in love with this state all over again. I can (sort of) handle summer here. This past summer was not as bad as the first summer we moved here. The first summer we moved here I am pretty sure I may have told Mo he could do these three years of residency on his own out here; the puggle and I were packing up...
