...Dallas decided to have perfect weather for one of my last weekends of freedom

Man.. I am so bad at updating this. I started writing this post like 4 days ago. I am going to pretend like it is Monday and this is still relevant.

First off, I have been blessed with two weeks of "freedom" this first half of January due to some angels in my firm that fought for me and my sanity in regards to my schedule. Most of my friends are already drowning in the stress-filled long hours. The beginning of a new year ushers most of us auditors into a 3-4 month period (or 5 month period if you're me) of public accounting slavery/indentured servitude.

So to sum it up, I've been lucky enough to work 40 hour weeks for the past two weeks and I haven't been forced to work on the weekends. This meant that the perfect weather that we were graced with last weekend in Dallas was at my disposal and I did my best to take advantage. That weekend I let the sun beat down on my skin for one last time. I brunched. I enjoyed ice-blended coffees and tasty beers at Whiterock Lake. I got to have a girls night with 15 wonderful ladies where we ate dinner at Luck and enjoyed tasty beers at Rustic. I heard a wonderful sermon at The Village Church. I brunched again with a friend that I haven't seen in too long. I consumed unhealthy, delicious, food truck treats at Klyde Warren Park. And last, but definitely not least, I celebrated a friend's birthday at her apartment by drinking wine, eating a homemade meal, enjoying the company of friends while watching the Golden Globes. All-around it was a pretty fantastic weekend.

That's all for now, folks! In my next post I want to touch on a crazy thought that has been ruminating in my head for a long time, but was, in a way, affirmed on Tuesday night. Stay tuned!
