Our Anniversary!

Speaking of being a lucky girl, the best husband on the face of the planet and I just had our anniversary. 4 years of wedded bliss (and 13 years of togetherness)! Crazy how fast time flies – it really feels like just yesterday that we were having the most amazing wedding ever in DC. Now suddenly it’s several years later, we’ve moved from VA to NC, we’ve both changed jobs, we’ve traveled a ton, bought a new house together and a million other things. Crazy! Can’t wait for all the years to come.

Layburn Ladies' Weekend

My sisters and I had promised my mom that for her birthday that we’d all get together for a girls’ weekend. Somehow that took us 8 months to schedule but it finally happened in August.

We all gathered at mom’s house and had a fun weekend of quality girl time! Out for dinner, wine and gossip on Friday night. Then a fun day on Saturday – farmers’ market and a trip to Jamestown, including a super fun Segway tour. I seriously love Segways! Finally back home to make a home cooked extravaganza for Saturday night dinner – we cooked for our mom, that’s a twist! – and then just hanging out and playing Mexican train for a nightcap. Sunday we went to see “The Help” (awesome book and an awesome movie!) and then capped a great weekend off with ice cream!

It was fabulous and SO fun to spend good quality time with mom and my sisters. I’m a lucky girl :)

Bowling with Shaz

One of our fav friends Shazia came to visit us and she humored me because I really wanted to go bowling :) We went out for dinner and drinks and then on to the local bowling alley. Played a couple of really good games (seriously, we were pretty impressive) and then this happened:



Wow. That is some BAD bowling! Needless to say that was our last game of the night - figured that the bowling gods were telling us to pack it up!
