Sex and the City (Tampa Edition)

Hello friends! Hope you all had a wonderful end of the week and weekend! Ryan and I had a great end of the week/weekend! Thursday night I attended a Pre- Holiday Gift Market Gala at the beautiful home of Heather Weber, a new Junior League friend. Her house is on Harbor Island proper, an area that I had not been to yet. What a gorgeous neighborhood on the water! The event was lovely, and it was great to catch up with some of the Junior League ladies! We then all headed to the Gala. A cute Tampa boutique had a booth at the Holiday Gift Market and I bought a few dresses there. It was such a fun time. Every time I go out with my Tampa friends, I can't help but feel like I am in a Sex and the City movie, of course being the Charlotte of the group. Tampa is just soooo BIG CITY, fashion forward, and fun. I love it!! Friday I did my JLT shift at the HGM, then Ryan and I enjoyed a date night out watching Joey's Race. We are such a sports couple, which leads me to Saturday...... GO PACK! We were obviously thrilled with the results of the UNC game. Five years in a row is some kind of record! I guess the flag on that ship is floating around the sea somewhere (haha)! ;) After that exciting game concluded, we went to Orlando to the Wyland Art Gallery in Downtown Disney. We have a few of his pieces, thanks to our parents, and it was great to meet him in person and take a photo with him and our piece of art! We also enjoyed watching him paint one of his current paintings. It was such a neat experience, and I am excited to hopefully do it again soon. We also hope to continue to become avid collectors of art. We made it back in time to watch the Alabama game, and although it didn't turn out the way we wanted, we enjoyed watching these great teams battle it out. The SEC has some incredible talent. Sunday we went to the Greek Church, and the Archbishop from Atlanta was there. It was awesome, and we really enjoyed meeting him and taking part in that special event. We also hosted our newlywed friends from St. Pete for dinner, and met their cute new puppy. Morgan enjoyed making a new friend too. This is going to be an exciting week for me because I start my job!! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Stay tuned for updates! :)
