My Paisley girl

Paisley's best friend, Ace

Ain't she pretty?

I love this picture! He looks so goofy (which he is)!

Really?

I had to run an errand for my Mama last Friday during my lunch. And I came across something that made me go, "Really? Seriously?"

I had to go by Hancock Fabrics to pick up a pattern for my Mama, and while I'm looking through the pattern book, I come across a pattern for one of these:

Photo from Google Images

Nope, not the cheesy tourist...the fanny pack. Yep, I said fanny pack. I tried to find the pattern online, and what do ya know, it's not there. Who would really put a fanny pack pattern online? Who would actually have a fanny pack pattern? The saddest part about this whole thing? When I googled "fanny pack," I found a lot of interesting things:

1. Lacoste makes a fanny pack - it was on a manequin in a store! Really?
2. NorthFace makes a fanny pack, cleverly called a "Lumbar Pack." You're not fooling me, NorthFace!

What do you think? Did you ever have a fanny pack? I can't remember if I did or not. I definitely had the florescent colored clothes, but I'm not sure about the fanny pack. I don't know if I want to remember that!! =.)

TGIF! For real. Feels like the longest.week.ever.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Revelation 22:13

Speechless...

So, that's what I am today...speechless. I don't have anything to say. But I feel bad, because I feel as though I should have something to say...but I don't .

Let's see if I can bore you with some of the events of my life this week! =.)

• Monday's softball game got rained out
• Played Monday's softball game on Tuesday. We lost, as expected. We play again next Monday (as it's a double elimination tournament to end our season).
• I had dinner with my girls on Wednesday. I so love them! =.) I just need to figure out a way to make Kelli happy, and I'll be even happier. She's in my prayers...
• I'm still working my way through the 4th book in the Twilight series. I'm on Breaking Dawn. It's taken me longer to get through this book, even though it's as good as the others...I think I'm a little on Twilight overload. (I dreamed about the characters on Saturday after I woke up when Marc left and before I got up).
• I still need to post some pictures from the Apron I won in Sweet Tea Diaries giveaway. That would require that I cook something so I can get Marc to take a picture with me wearing it authentically, though! =.) I've got some recipes to try, hopefully this weekend, though, so I'm hoping to post it next week.
• I'm excited to go see Tiffany's softball game tomorrow! =.) I'm hoping they need me to play, so it'll feel like Intramural days at Appalachian. =.) That would be fun. =.)
• I have a girl's night in Raleigh on Saturday, and I'm pretty excited about that. We're going to the piano bar, so we'll be requesting our favorite trashy songs, and sing at the top of our lungs. Should be pretty comical! (P.S. We were trying to decide which one of the ladies would be our "Bachelorette" for the night, because it's just more fun when guys buy the drinks! I don't think anyone will be getting married, though...oh, well!)
• I've been listening to my new Ipod Touch this afternoon, and semi singing out loud to some of the randomness on my playlist, that might really just include the following:
• Hold on Loosely - .38 Special
• King of Wishful Thinking
• Keep Your Hands to Yourself - Georgia Satellites
• P.Y.T. - Michael Jackson
• Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar
• Her Diamonds - Rob Thomas
• Paradise City - Guns 'N Roses
• Careless Whisper - Seether
• And the randomness just keeps going...
• I will work out when I get home and I will enjoy it! =.)
• I've got Life Group tonight for the first time in 2 months...I'm stoked. I need some Jesus. =.)

Hope your night is lovely! =.)

"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways..." Psalm 91:11

How awesome is it that God has 'people' watching out for you all.the.time. whether you want them looking out for you, or not. Love it! =.)

The 'Shredders'

From some of my previous posts, I think I told y'all that Marc has 4-wheeler. Well, it's not one of those just 4 wheel drive for trail riding. Nope...not my husband. He's gotta have one of those that's really loud, definitely not stock on anything, except maybe the frame, best of the best, off of Ebay, etc. And I have no one to blame for all of this, except maybe Brock, my brother. You see, if it weren't for Brock, Marc would not have gone all the way to Tennessee to purchase a 4-wheeler, and then spend lots of time and money to make it better, faster, whatever. Oh, and when they ride, the "shred." Just an inside thing.

I don't really mind, though. You see, every Wednesday, I get the television all to myself because it is "Guy Night" at Brock's shop. So, all the guys get together to work on whatever 4-wheeler happens to be broken or taken apart that week, and do whatever else it is that guys want to do when no ladies are around. And I really don't mind. Well, this week, they were riding. My brother decided that he needed a track to ride on (in the pasture that's supposed to be for his horse and Allie's pony). And Brock doesn't do anything halfway. So, he's got this track with a couple of jumps and some big turns, and they ride, when they get the notion. It's funny, though, because when you go to watch, they'll do about 15 minutes of riding, then about 20 minutes of catching their breath and 'resting'.

Back to the point, though...this past Wednesday, I was supposed to go take some pictures, because they love pictures of themselves. I got a few videos, too. So...here you are (and I'm sorry for all of the blurs - my camera was not doing well on focusing):

Chad, Marc & Brock

Taking the turn 3 wide

Gearing up for the next round

Brock

And, while the guys were on their 4-wheelers, Allie was in her Escalade. She was even going up some of the jumps (not actually jumping them, though! No worries!)

I have a feeling Ava is gonna be the daredevil - she really wanted to make it go!

And I'm not an expert on kids, but she looks so big for being only 1 year old!

This is for Chad - his first time on the big jump!

"How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kindgom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation." Daniel 4:3

Twilight...

So, while I may be a little late on this one, let me just say that I absolutely LOVE the whole Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. And it's not even the fact that it's about vampires, but that this author is just so talented! She's great! It's so easy to get wrapped up in her words as I'm reading! I've finished the first 2, and I'm working through the 3rd one, right now.

We've been debating this, Tiffany and I - I'm totally Team Jacob, and she's Team Edward. What are you? What did you think about the series? Did you love them, too?!?!

Weekend Recap

I apologize! I have nothing witty to write about, just the musings of my life over the past week. So, here goes, in bullet fashion, because I have not enough imagination today to flow from paragraph to paragraph. Again, I apologize! =.)

• Friday, we went to see Transformers 2! I really wanted to see this for my birthday, but we just didn't fit it into our schedule. We finally got to see it this past weekend with Chad and Katie. It was really good! Definitely recommend it! =.)
• Saturday, Mama and I worked on a ribbon topiary, from where I stole the idea from Whitney Caroline Designs here. It turned out great, and everyone at the wedding shower loved it! What do you think?
• This is a close up of all the different ribbons. Doesn't it look gorgeous?!? I had so much fun making it with my Mama! =.)

• And what's a post without some pics of the nieces? I love the look on Allie's face! Like, "Really? Another picture?" They're precious!

• Sunday, I helped host a bridal shower for my cousin, Royce, and his finace, Jessica. It was a lot of fun, and they really enjoyed it!

• One of the floral arrangements my Mama made for the shower. I thought it was beautiful! =.)

So...that was my weekend, with some La Cocina mexican thrown in there (on Friday and on Sunday)! =.) Hope your weekend was great, too!

Weekend Recap in Pictures

The boys napping after their morning of hard work -cleaning up the yard, 'building' horseshoe pits, and some other odds and ends around the house

Trophy, the always energetic pup (at 4 years old)

Our wonderful hosts, Chad & Katie! =.)
And he answered the door in this when the pizza guy delivered later Saturday night...

All the girls (and yes, I'm in the tee, as it was late in the afternoon and I was trying to stay un-burned)

Sunday afternoon, we took the Palmetto out...this is Grant's attempt at a back flip...hilarious!

Marc's back flip

This big boat in the background got stuck on a sand bar in the entrance to the channel...we tried to pull it out, but it just didn't work...

This is Katie's boat, Class Action (she's a lawyer, so she loves it, especially since it's in PINK!)

And I like the skull below Skiff...too bad it's not pink with a bow... =.)

While I was hiding in the shade while waiting for the boys to load up the boats, I got this picture of the Palmetto...definitely not last year's party barge, but MUCH safer! =.)

And that's all I've got! I didn't take nearly enough pictures, but we had a great weekend in Beaufort! Thanks for letting us stay at your house, Chad and Katie! =.)

"For the word of God is living and active...it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

Wordless Wednesday

Okay, let's be honest - I can't just throw the pics up without some comments, so here they are! These are pics from Karleigh and Ava's birthday weekend! The water shots are from Sunday, and the birthday pics are from Saturday! Enjoy!

Allie

Ava grabbing at her cake as Wendy was pulling it away!

Ava when Wendy was taking it away - she was not happy!

I love her faces! =.) So cute in sunglasses!

P.S. Her belly was too big, so her bathing suit wouldn't say pulled down!

She's such a happy baby!

She looks so scared going down the slide! She wanted on so bad,
but didn't like it after she had slid down!

Karleigh with her watermelon =.)

Have a great day!

"God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding." Job 37:5

I'm getting old!

Not really, though, but I am closer to 30 than I was last year. I'm no longer in my early 20s. But, God has blessed me, and I'm here, so I'll be thankful for every year I spend on earth!

So, now the fun part...My presents! =.)

The hubby went above and beyond, and he got me an I-Touch! My I-pod died in February, so that was all I've been asking for since. I had to go on a work trip to Orlando (tons of kids and annoyances on the plane, both ways, with no escape), so I've been bugging Marc to get me one! I was honestly just expecting a Nano, but I got a Touch! Super stoked about this! I've been playing with it all weekend!

So, from Tiffany and Kelli, I got I-Tunes gift cards and a case for the Touch so I don't mess it up! Thank you, girls! I love y'all! =.)

From my brother and his fam, I got the first 2 books of the Twilight series (no, I haven't read them, yet...I'm way behind, I know) and another I-Tunes gift card.. So, as soon as I finish my current book, I'll be starting with what I hear will be an obsession. Can't wait! =.)

And from my parents, I received some new tennis shoes (I had a pair of Air Maxxs, but they blew out about 2 months after I had them, but I've still been wearing them for 2 years, and Mama has been wanting to get me a new pair of shoes). They're charcoal and pick - too cute! And my biggest surprise - she bought me some Woozies! Theire Koozies for your wine glass! They perfect, and I can't wait to try them out this weekend at the beach! =.) Yay!

There were no pictures taken, because I'm always the one that take the pictures, so...sorry...nothing fun to post for pics!

Ooohh! And I got a hair cut on Friday! I love it! =.) Happy Monday!


"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105

I won! I won!

I'm super excited that I won Angela's Apron Giveaway! Is this not the cutest apron ever?!? This is the one that I really want! I just love it! =.) Thanks for hosting this, Angela! And thank you to Annie for participating! Go by and see what else Annie has! There's some great stuff, there! I can't wait for my apron!! =.)





Can you tell I'm excited? I've used nothing but exclamation points in my text! =.)

Summer Swap

Let me just start out by saying that I had the best swap partner, ever! =.) Lisa over at Like a Valentine sent me some wonderful stuff! I was super excited when I received my package! It was all wrapped up so nicely, and I completely forgot to take a picture before I just ripped into it! =.) So, Lisa, thank you so much! I'm especially fond of the OPI nail polish and the great note cards! She even brought me back some stuff from Hawaii! You rock!

Thanks to Angela over at Sweet Tea Diaries for hosting the swap! =.)

I am so behind!

I have so much to write about and just not enough time to do it!

Quick weekend recap (in list format, as that's just easier):

• Friday night, I was exhausted. I headed out to Charlotte on Wednesday for some training classes on Thursday and Friday. I left the hotel around 3:15 p.m. Friday afternoon. It took me an hour just to get to Concord, the traffic was so bad. So frustrating! So what should have taken 2 hours, took 3 hours, instead. I didn't really want to go out.
• Friday night in Hillsborough is Hog Day...annual event, and the festivities start Friday night with the pig cookin'. We headed over to Rob and Sarah's for dinner, then we were going to walk around Hog Day for a bit before heading home. We didn't even eat dinner until 9:30, I think, so we just went home after that.
• I slept until 10 am on Saturday! I guess I was pretty tired. Then, I went with Mama to a baby shower for some of her cousins. It's always nice to see family that you don't get to see often.
• When I turned on the water to take my shower before going to the baby shower - nothing. There's still something wrong with it! Something about smaller gauge wires on the pump than in the wiring to the house, so it gets overworked, or something like that. I'm not sure, but it's frustrating.
• Marc, Rob, and Grant were working on the well when I got home. It's fixed, but we need an electrician to come replace the wires from the pressure box in the crawl space to the fuse box inside the house. More $$. I'm not sure when we'll be taking care of that.
• We went to dinner with Grant's family Saturday night to celebrate his brother's birthday. We went to The Homestead in Timberlake - it was wonderful! =.) Such fun!
• Sunday, we helped a friend, Stephen, move into his new house! It was hot, but it was fun. Stephen's helped us out around the house a lot while we were renovating, so we owed him. =.)
• After helping Stephen, we rushed home to get a shower before heading over to Mama and Daddy's for dinner. We had baked potatoes and steaks on the grill. I just love my family so, so much, and I'm so blessed to have parents who have been married for so long, and who show me what a family is supposed to be. They've always been supportive, and I just love them so much!

That's my weekend! I've got another busy week ahead, though!

Monday: Softball Game Tuesday: Softball Game Wednesday: Dinner with my favorites! Thursday: Training in Cary all day Friday: Mama and Daddy's 32nd Anniversary Saturday: It's my Birthday!!! =.) Yay!! =.)

Hope you have a great week! =.)

"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

Random...

Has anyone else noticed how Taylor Swift gets her love interests (well, 2 of them) for her music videos from One Tree Hill? Stephen Colletti is in her new White Horse video, and Tyler Hilton was in her Teardrops on my Guitar video.

I would notice these, because I'm a HUGE OTH fan. Since the beginning...anyone watch the season finale and wonder what the heck is going on? It's never ended with all the loose ends tied. Hmm...

Without Water...

Currently, there are 2 plumbers and my husband working on our well. Lightning ran in on it this past Friday, so we went the whole weekend without water. Not a huge problem, as Mama and Daddy moved into their new house, so their little apartment(aka the Saloon, as it's beside the barn and has a facade that looks like an old time saloon(I'll try to find a picture to put it up later)) they were living in was available for us to use. It felt like we were camping - we lived at our house, but if we needed to shower or do anything involving water, we had to trek to the Saloon. I'm really grateful we had some place to go, though.

So we really didn't spend a lot of time at home this weekend. I'm glad we already had a busy weekend planned!

Therefore, while I'm at work, my husband and the two plumbers are pulling this:

from the bottom of this:

to replace all of this, and the well pump.

And all of this is gonna cost us about a grand. Oh, the joy of being a homeowner...

P.S. This is the second time lightning has hit the well in about 6 months. Last time, they just repaired the wire. This time, there was too much damage to just repair, and since lightning hit the wiring, it also hit the well pump, which means we need to replace that, as well. Fun.

P.S.S. We got a lightning rod to put up so that hopefully, this doesn't happen again. We'll see if it works.

I'm gonna be in Charlotte for the rest of the week to learn about the financials of the office. By the way, that's what I've done every day for the past 4 years. I think I know what I'm doing. Or at least I hope so, right?

I hope your day is going better than mine! =.)

"'For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,' says the Lord, who has mercy on you." Isaiah 54:10

Feels like forever...

...since I've written! Last week was crazy busy, and then that kind of just went into the weekend.

I have tons to blog about, but not the time, so I'll leave you with a few pictures and a video from the weekend...

Karleigh eating her watermelon at her birthday party on Saturday morning. The juice was running down her neck and into her shirt. Hilarious!

Ava eating her birthday cake Saturday afternoon. She loved it!

Doesn't Allie look like she's supervising? She had the best time on the water slide and swimming in the pond!

And this would be my husband as he attempted a back flip on the bike.

(I apologize for the poor videographer skills - I think I expected him to keep going up, and he didn't)

Hope you enjoyed! I should have some more pics up for tomorrow's Wordless Wednesday. I got some of the most precious pics of Ava yesterday in her swim suit!

Weekend plans, updated

Last night, Marc and I were kind of picking up around the house - filing away some old bills and stuff so things are just more tidy, and he shares with me his ideas of what were doing this weekend. So, on top of everything that I have on my list, he has even more! He also told me last week that everything outside (i.e. mowing the lawn, spreading mulch, etc) is the "man's job." So, I've been rubbing that little bit in all week. You see, here's what he wants to do:

• Set posts for lean-to on the shed
• Pressure wash entire house
• Stain back deck
• Stain front porch
• Paint back door (inside and outside)
• Paint closet doors in carport
• Paint facial board on the front porch
• Spread mulch

I still have on my own list to paint all the stuff on the inside of the house.

So last night, he was telling me I'd have to help him do something outside (I don't even remember what it was, now), and here's my reply: "Well, according to you, it's the man's job to do everything outside, so I can't help." He loved that! =.)

Also, nowhere on his list does it include cleaning the entire house. I'm talking all out - vacuum, dust, mop, spit shine - everything. Blah.

However, after we work our tails off tomorrow, we're going on a date! =.) We still have a gift card that his dad and step-mom, Lyman and Melinda, sent us for our anniversary. We're finally gonna use that.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! I just hope mine is productive! =.)

"I am the good sheperd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me...and I lay down m life for the sheep." Joyhn 10:14-15

Plans for the weekend...

I'm actually kind of 'dreading' this weekend because we have so, so much to do around the house before next weekend. Here's the to do list before next Thursday:

• Paint interior doors to match 'new' trim
• Paint window frame in dining room to match 'new' trim
• Spread mulch in various locations around the house
• 'Install' the new horseshoe pits
• Clean the house from top to bottom
• Wash towels for the guest bathroom
• Pressure wash the outside of the house, all porches, and the carport
• Mow the lawn

Hopefully, we'll get most of this done this weekend, because next week will be busy - softball games Monday-Wednesday, and probably picking up from the week, washing dishes, etc on Thursday before they arrive Friday afternoon.

So, while I dread this weekend because of all that I have to accomplish, I am going to feel WONDERFUL when it's all done.

I wish I could be like I Dream of Genie, and wiggle my nose, and it be done. Wouldn't that be awesome?! =.)

My husband is awesome!

A little background:

There's a local radio station that does this thing called 'Pick your Purse.' They go out and buy 20 awesome designer purses, including: Mich*ael K*ors, Gucc*i, Loui*s Vui*tton, and the list just keeps going. The deal is, you listen and when they give the cue to call, you have to be caller 105, and you can pick the purse that you want, as long as it's still available.

What Marc did...

I've tried calling in years past, but it's just a hassle, and I've never even gotten through to be a caller at all - whether it was number 4 or number 1,542. I've pretty much just given it up on it, and I quit trying. I basically just love looking and dreaming of having one of these beauties on my arm.

Marc just called and asked if I'd been online to look at the purses for this year, and if I had, which ones did I like/want. So...I go to tell him my top 4 picks, he writes them down, and I have a feeling he will be trying to win me one.

My question to you...

If he wins one and gives it to me for my birthday, does that excuse him from actually purchasing a gift for me? =.) Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a great purse, but would there be any thought going into it? I know there would be some time going in to it, because it's a pain to call in.

Anyways, I thought it was sweet. I love him! =.)

Which one do I really want? This beauty:

“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”- Proverbs 15:1

June Favorites

As we get into June, please let me list some of my favorites:

1. School is almost out - that means I don't get behind school buses that make me even later to work! =.)

2. Softball season starts! We had our first game last night, and I was breathing hard by the time I made it to first base...so out of shape, but so much fun! =.)

3. I get to celebrate Ava's birthday, Karleigh's birthday, and MY birthday! =.) Fun stuff!!

4. The sun shines more, and that just makes me happy!

5. All of my 'teacher' friends get more time off to have lunch with me while I'm working! =.)

Those are just a few! Hope you enjoy your June, and have a spectacular day! =.)

PS - I finished Firefly Lane last night, and - oh, my goodness. I cried through the last several chapters! Such a great book! You should pick it up...I couldn't put it down last night, and didn't go to sleep until after 12 midnight! But it was definitely worth it.

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:27

Book Club

So, I'm almost finished reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.

It's been pretty good, so far. It's gone through maybe 4 decades, so it's spanned the life of these two girls as they've gone through really tough times and happy times together as best friends. It's a good read. It's kind of long, but definitely worth the time. I've been reading it while I'm at lunch, and I come in late every afternoon because I want to get through "just one more" chapter. =.) I highly recommend, and I can't wait until I'm finished. I'm really looking forward to what happens next! I don't want to spoil, so you should definitely check it out! If you've already read it, leave me a comment and let me know what you thought! =.)

Wonderful Giveaway...

So, if you go over to Preppy Paper Girl, you can see that she's hosting a wonderful giveaway in honor of her birthday. And, since my birthday is at the end of the month, I would be so stoked to win this Box of Goodies! Good luck!

Have a great day! Enjoy this beautiful weather! =.)

"Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'." John 20:29

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Jennifer and Chris on their engagement! I'm so happy for you guys! And I'm really glad that Chris can now be let in on the 'circle of trust'! I love y'all! =.) Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together! =.)

Questionaire Thing

So, I saw this on someone's blog, and it looked fun. =.) Here you go...

1. Have you ever been searched by the cops? Nope
2. Do you close your eyes on a roller coaster? I'm not sure...I don't think so, but it's possible.
3. When's the last time you've been sledding? It's been awhile - probably my sophomore year at App...so...sadly, as I feel old, 6 years ago.
4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? Definitely with Marc - I can't fall asleep when he's not beside me.
5. Do you believe in ghosts? Not really.
6. Do you consider yourself creative? Sometimes
7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife? Not really sure, but probably he did it...I mean, he wrote a book about it.
8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie? I'm definitely Team Jennifer on this one.
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics? I know some.
10. Do you know how to play poker? Kind of - Marc's tried to teach me a few times. I really like to watch it, though.
11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? Definitely not.
12. What's your favorite commercial? I don't know - but Marc thinks it's ridiculous when I sing along with them. But seriously, some of them are really catchy, and you can't help but sing along! 13. Who was your first love? Marc is my one and only.
14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light? No - I'm too paranoid (and I really don't want a ticket to make my insurance go up!).
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you? Maybe? I don't know.
16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees? Baseball is boring to watch unless you're there in person, so neither.
17. Have you ever been Ice Skating? YES! I love it (Marc hates it)! I even have my own skates from back in the day (as a freshman in high school).
18. How often do you remember your dreams? Not a lot.
19. What's the one thing on your mind? My 'To Do' list for the next two weeks/weekends before the in-laws come up to stay for the weekend.
20. Do you always wear your seat belt? Yes! I rolled my car almost 4 years back, and my seat belt is what let me walk away unharmed.
21. What talent do you wish you had? Hhmmm...singing, I guess.
22. Do you like Sushi? Yummy!
23. What do you wear to bed? A t-shirt.
24. Do you truly hate anyone? I don't think so - get annoyed and don't like the type of person they might be, but not hate.
25. Do you know anyone in jail? I don't think so.
26. What food do you find disgusting? Okra.
27. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back? Probably...that sucks, though.
28. Have you ever been punched in the face? Nope.
29. Favorite current tv show? I really love Dancing with the Stars, but my all time favorite is One Tree Hill (and if you watch it, then please tell me what you thought of the finale. Did it seem too happy to you? It never ends that well. There were no cliff hangers - makes me think they're cancelling the show. What are you thoughts?)
30. If you saw your best friend's wife/husband cheating on them...would you tell them? YES! I would want the favor returned, no matter how difficult the situation might be.

So, now it's your turn! Copy and paste, because I want to know more about you! =.)

Weekend Recap

Alright, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. I feel like I've been a bit off this week! So, here goes...

Friday night, we went out to dinner in Chapel Hill with Grant and Katie to PT's Grille. I love that place! If you're in the area, definitely go check it out. They have great burgers and chicken sandwiches, and fresh squeezed lemonade! =.)

On Saturday, we four headed to the lake for a nice relaxing weekend. I'm so bad, because I didn't take pictures at all the entire time we were up there. The bad part? I thought about taking them, and was, in my head, trying to figure out the best place to take a picture to capture the view, but was just too lazy to actually take the pictures. And I didn't take my camera down to the dock, so I didn't get any of us hanging out, or of the guys wake surfing behind the boat. I'm awful, I know. I did, however, take pictures of the dogs in the back seat on the way up to the lake:

Ace - I like to think he's smiling here! =.)

Paisley - she really just wanted the road not to be so rough so she could sleep.

The dogs had a great time! They love being at the lake and near the water. It took Paisley until late Saturday to venture into the water, but once she did, she loved it, as usual. She is such a little water dog! And Ace actually got in the water this time! Usually, he just chases Paisley from the grass as she swims. They're so funny!

We stayed at Grant's family house until Monday, then we cleaned and came home. The dogs slept ALL afternoon! They were definitely tired out from their vacation! Marc and I just lounged around the house Monday afternoon/evening, and washed some clothes.

We had a great weekend, and I can't wait until we get the chance to go back! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, as well! =.)
