This weekend was wonderful! Friday night I was exhausted. I got about an hour of sleep the night before and had to work all day trying to figure out Epic..it was a nightmare!! (We are officially "Live" on Epic today...whoohoo)THANK GOD. So needless to say, Friday night we had dinner at La Finca...so convenient..about 10 steps from the apartments and then went to Best Buy to find a movie or two. We ended up buying the newest disney movie (of course) Sword in the Stone..which we both LOVE and season 3 of The Office! I am so addicted to The Office. Someone tried to get me to watch it once before and I didn't really get it but I gave it another chance and now I cant stop watching it. I absolutely dub that my favorite show. It's right up there with Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 30 min meals! hahaha :) So..We ended up watching The Office and drinking some wine which was ALRIGHT with me!
The next day we got up and headed to Crozet, about 15 mins outside of Charlottesville. We ended up leaving a little later than planned and got a little lost but even so where we ended up was beautiful. We drove all around and saw gorgeous farm and beautiful homes it was amazing. We probably saw about 15 vineyards in the one area but I had my heart set on a certain one! It is immaculate! I definetly have my heart set on getting married there. We are going to go back again in a few weeks! We also stopped at an adorable little farmers market and bought some vegetables and fruit (we've found its much better to support the local farmers in the area and its MUCH cheaper because the food doesn't have to travel) We've been getting a lot of our fruits and vegetables from downtown when we can! Anyway, we also picked up some wine and some dipping oils and bread. Yummmm! After making one too many purchases we drove to Keswick and met up with Hugh and Stephanie! We went downtown and had Dinner at Eppies a little new orleans place with yummy food and tons of it for cheap! I had jerk chicken with rice and cornbread and lee had a curry chicken salad sandwich and peach cobbler. Then we headed down to Millers place for some drinks. It was good seeing Hugh. I hadn't seen him for a few months and I love his new girlfriend! They are perfect for each other!! Im so glad to see him happy! It was starting to get late so we headed home and got back to Roanoke around Midnight. On Sunday we got a lot done...much needed laundry and some organizing. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got a lot of nice things for the apartment. Some new throw pillows...kitchen cannisters, home decor...good stuff. The apartment looks very nice!! Finally we had our newly purchased wine and dipping oil and watched the bucket list. It was a nice ending to the weekend. I'm looking forward to this week/weekend and spending time with my girls!! AND school starts in a few weeks..I'm a little nervous about that but so excited! Anyway..that's all for now! Oh yes..and the above pictures are at the vineyard!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great week!!
