Andy and I had a great weekend relaxing. This was the first weekend that we haven't been snowed in all month and the sun was shining, so we can't complain. Unfortunately, it was still cold, but at least it wasn't so glummy! We started Friday night by having a nice dinner in. I went to Fresh Market and splurged on some delicious stuff. We had brushetta and Gouda cheese for appetizer, crab cakes and twice baked potatoes for dinner, and a lemon square for dessert. We also had a bottle of our favorite Blackberry wine from our favorite winery out here!! Then we exchanged gifts. Andy got me this box of amazing truffles from a local candy shop. I have pictures, and will upload them this weekend. These things were not only huge, they were so pretty with airbrushed colors and everything. One of them is even a Paprika flavored chocolate...very food network. I can't wait to try them all...although, they have been super addicting and not good for the healthy eating kick I'm trying to stick to. I got Andy this CD with his favorite new song, Hell on the Heart by Eric Church. (We don't have Internet at home at the moment, so we can't download from I tunes.) I also got him some pink, hot pink and white colored fishing bait. Andy and I have become quite the trout fishermen and we are vowing to go even more this year! I love going because its such a beautiful hike and I can bring Trubs and she can just run along the trail with us. She looks so cute!! More to come on that if it ever gets warm enough to go!!
Then Saturday night we went to a new restaurant in Blacksburg called Bull&Bones. It is a very modern brewery with a huge bar and great atmosphere. The food was great too, so all in all, I think we have a new favorite restaurant!! We spent Saturday and Sunday cleaning, organizing and doing our taxes (fun stuff). We have been on a real organization kick lately. Its amazing how fast you can fill up a 3 bedroom house!! Unfortunately, we don't have a basement or garage, so we have to be inventive when it comes to storage. We've put up a ton of new shelves which have really helped. I can't imagine having kids and collecting any more stuff because we are already filled to max capacity!! At least it keeps us from holding on to things we don't really need and not buying a lot of junk that just creates clutter. Of course, I still probably have clothes I haven't worn since college in my closet, but you never know when you might need them (haha). I think that will be one of my next projects...cleaning out my closet...yikes!!
For now, I'm focusing on more exciting stuff. My bday weekend is this weekend, then in 2 weeks I'll be visiting Molly and then 2 weeks after that I'll be in Illinois for about 10 days (see family and work conference). I have a feeling it will be April before I know it!!
