finally fall!


The last couple of weeks we've been blessed with this beautiful fall weather and I couldn't be happier because fall/autumn/harvest is my absolute favorite time of year! I love the leaves changing and all the colors. The crisp air and the smell of burning leaves, bonfires, scary movies and halloween and cuddling up under a blanket eating kettle corn and watching scary Halloween movies. This weekend was no exception. I wanted to get out and have some fun and take advantage of the beauty of this time of year.
Friday night I went out with my all-time favorite group of females. Suzanne(suz) Kathy(the canadian) Sarah(buch buch) and stacy(the diva)! We went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and had yummy sangrias! Then we went to see hte movie Nights in Rodanthe which was a cool idea since Stacey had just been there the week before! It was ok..I didn't care for the ending and I could in NO WAY compare it to the notebook but I had fun with my girls and that's all that mattered! :)
Saturday Lee and I got up early (as usual)and I suprised Lee with some pancakes! Then, we went to the Medieval festival. It was interesting thats for sure. Sword fighting, Jousting, Gypsies, all kinds of weird stuff..i even saw an ogre. It would've been a LOT better if it hadn't been a little foggy and rainy but it was still a great way to spend the morning. After that I took Lee to Lunch at the Fried Pickle. He'd been begging me to take him there and we always kinda forgot about it. the food was amazing...and over the top..dont worry I worked out to make up for it!! Last night Lee suprised me with the Sex and the City Movie. Now I will say that i am NOT a fan of the show. I've never even seen ONE episode. I know weird right? I've never been interested. But I heard you could love the movie regardless of whether or not you've seen the show. THEY were right. It was a great movie. Lee bought it for me because he just got a new dumb video game to play and he needed to keep me occupied for a few hours. So i cuddled up in the bed (WITH THE NEW AWESOME MATRESS!) and watched it. I laughed and cried. I will stil probably never watch the show..but the movie was excellent!

Today we got up and worked out and then headed over to the Pumpkin Patch in Floyd. We had a picnic lunch there and then made our way through the corn maze. I'll admit I got a little frustrated...You know me...everything is a competition. It was fun though! Then, we took a hayride over to the pumpkin patch and picked out a pumpkin. We are going to carve it in a couple of weeks and toast the pumpkin seeds! We've decided we're going to most definetly make this one a tradition especially one day when we have kids. It was a lot of fun! :)




Next weekend we are heading to Kentucky and I am very excited about that. We will be going to the waverly hills sanitorium!

I've wanted to go ever since i saw it on ghost hunters! (i know im a dork) Hope and Chad were going to come too..but Chad is on call at the hospital..so maybe next year! We've been planning this trip for a few months now..lee and I love a good weekend getaway and we're both really looking forward to it! Anyway that's all for now...till next time :)
