Woohoo for Friday! I missed last week, so here are 2 weeks of favorites!
1) Dining Table - We finished the dining table last week! All I had to do during the week is put a few coats of poly on it, the rest was finished over the weekend before last. I am so excited about the table and we both love it so much! I'm glad we decided to build our own!
2) Girls Night - I got to go out for Hibachi with Brittany and Anna last Wednesday night. Brittany is moving to TX Monday, so I'm very thankful for the time we got to spend together. Of course I didn't even think about taking a picture. Oh well, at least I have the memories and another delicious dinner option!
3) Day off - I took last Friday off to finish up some projects, catch up on chores and prepare for visitors. We had our best friends from MD coming to visit last weekend and we hosted my Dad's birthday dinner Friday night. I got a lot done!
4) Wolfpack Hoops! - We're still dancing! Yep, we made it to the Sweet 16!!! I'm SUPER excited about this! Not only are we in the Sweet 16, but we took out a #1 seed to get there! We've already beat Louisville this season, we can do it again!!!
5) Smiths Visit! - Some of our favorite people came to spend the weekend with us. It was a short weekend, but we had a great time with them! We showed them around campus and a few other places in Raleigh. We even showed them some houses, just in case they wanted to move a little closer. ;-)
Such a handsome boy...he almost makes me want my own...almost!
We got some howling cow! I tried to share mine with the wolf, but I just looked dumb.
The Smiths!
Zachary loved running around campus!
Of course we had to show them the wolf ears!!!
Z had fun running back and forth while we were talking.
In the Free Expression Tunnel...so many memories!!!
6) My Job - I'm incredibly thankful for my job and for my awesome boss. Josh had a class in Atlanta this week and I asked by boss if I could travel with him and work remote. She had no problem with it. The hotel we're in has so many places for me to work. In my room, in a little courtyard, several places in the lobby and a quiet little place on the second floor. Here are a couple of my favorite "offices" from the week...
This is in the lobby by the fire. It got quite warm, so I didn't stay here long, but it was nice.
This is in the courtyard...probably my favorite spot. It's so peaceful out there. :-)
7) Being close to family - We're only a little over an hour away from my Daddy now! He is watching Bailey while we're in Atlanta this week and she gets to play with her little sister! She's enjoying being at her Papa's house and I know she'll be exhausted when we pick her up!
8) Daddy's Birthday - Another perk of living close to family, I got to host Daddy's birthday dinner! We had family over for steaks, baked potatoes, grilled veggies and of course dessert! My aunt came and it was my first time seeing her in way too long! Daddy even put our dining chairs together while I finished preparing food! I was so busy trying to get everything together (Daddy showed up 2 hours early...haha...I did not get my lack of timeliness from him) that I forgot to take pictures. His actual birthday was this past Tuesday...Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!
9) Kila - This lady deserves her own number. :-) It's been way too long since I've seen her, but I got to visit with my second favorite pup when we dropped Bailey off at my dad's house! She climbed right up in the car and sat in both our laps before we were even able to get out. I have pictures, but they're on Josh's phone. She's just as sweet as ever! She was a terror as a puppy, but she's so calm now...almost 12 years later!
10) Akeem - Since we're in Atlanta this week, we got a chance to visit with an old college friend. We went out for dinner, then he showed us around some really cool parts of Atlanta that we would have never found on our own! One of my favorites was the Goat Farm...such a cool place! We went out for ice cream too. All in all, Thursday was a GREAT night!
11) Atlanta Adventures - We've had a lot of fun while we've been here. We went to a speakeasy type of bar one night with some of Josh's co-workers. You have to get a secret code that changes every night in order to get in. Then you go inside this phone booth, enter the code, and a secret door opens. It was REALLY cool!
We've also had some great and unusual food! We went to The Vortex and I decided to get adventurous. I got the Fat Elvis, which is a burger with peanut butter, fried bananas and bacon on it. It was definitely different, but actually very good! Josh disagreed. haha. Don't worry, we've had some amazing normal food too. I had one of the best steaks I've ever had one night. One of my favorite parts of traveling is food, so this has definitely been a great trip in that aspect! I'll try to post more about Atlanta with more pictures later. I have several pictures, but they're on about 4 different devices at the moment. I'm not up for dealing with that right now!
12) Maze Runner - We started listening to Maze Runner on the way down to Atlanta. We listened to it some more on the way to meet Akeem and it's getting really good!
4) Wolfpack Hoops! - We're still dancing! Yep, we made it to the Sweet 16!!! I'm SUPER excited about this! Not only are we in the Sweet 16, but we took out a #1 seed to get there! We've already beat Louisville this season, we can do it again!!!
