Milestones are happening in the Fleur-De-Licious world! Milestones like the last day of law school class. And the last finals ever. And impending real world lawyer jobs. MOST IMPORTANTLY however, Kate will be moving to Dallas soon, which is where I live, which means that for the first time since graduating high school in 2006…I get to live in the same city as my best friend.

A few days ago we had the first Perfect Spring Day of the year in Austin.

Raspberry Sweet Cream Biscuits

Sundays are my favorite day of the week.
Is that weird? Some people I know (The Accountant being one of them) just seriously hate Sundays.
I guess I get it. Monday– and the start of another work week– is just around the corner.
But that’s not how I see Sundays.
