A diary of the fun and adventure of Christine & Dana Allen. Two 30-somethings who fell in love at Business School, then moved to Dallas start their new life together.
We spent a fun weekend in Austin visiting our friends Sara & James. We drove down as an early birthday surprise for Sara. Angie & Kevin came too so we had a great time swimming and eating a lot of great food!
Dana, Reese and I just returned from a 5 day trip to Charleston, SC. It was incredibly charming. We ate AMAZING food... really, I think all we did was eat. But we also took a horse-drawn carriage tour of the city, walked around the historic town and shopped, visited the aquarium, took a harbor cruise, and spent a day at the beach on nearby Sullivan's Island - which I loved!!!
It was a completely relaxing, sweet vacation. We stayed at some quaint inns and just enjoyed quality family time in between Dana's jobs and my roles at work. Life is good : )
We finally announced our pregnancy at work and it was so fun to be congratulated by all of our friends!
In other good news, Dana accepted a job offer at a new company - in a totally different career! He's going to be an executive recruiter...a change that we anticipate will be really good long-term for our family.
In addition to that, I was promoted to Sr. Director of Global Brand Innovation... so we have a lot going on! If only I could drink champagne these days : )
