What a glorious weather weekend! I am so thankful for the abundance of perfect autumn weather that we’ve been blessed with over the past week. Unfortunately, I think that’s going to end tonight, when rain brings highs in the 40’s and 50’s for the next few days. Brrrr….. Anywho, we tried to soak up…
home again.
We’re back. We flew home on Saturday, which turned out to be kind of awesome because we got a free upgrade to first class on our second flight. Do you know why first class is awesome? Because instead of peanuts and pretzels, you get to snack on candy bars, fresh fruit, and sun chips. Not…
city living.
Although I’m generally more a fan of the rural lifestyle, I was digging the city living today. This is good because we are about to move even further into downtown. So here are the top five things I like about city living: 1. Starbucks, the bank, and the grocery store are all within walking distance….
the weekend.
I’m really beginning to love weekends. I guess I’ve always loved weekends because they have been school-free zones, but now that they are also homework-free, they are even more enjoyable! This weekend came with the bonus of glorious weather, so we tried to spend as much time outside as possible. On Friday evening, we headed…
a very kentucky weekend.
What a weekend! The Kentucky Derby, UK graduation, and Mother’s Day. Wow. We’ll begin with Saturday. Eric and I always try to sleep in on Saturdays. This usually results in us waking up at 7. Woo. So we headed to Magee’s, bright and early, where we ordered the usual from the usual woman, who, as…
a summer saturday.
It’s finals week, which means that nothing exciting can happen in my life until Wednesday at 12:30, when I will turn in my LAST FINAL EXAM EVER. Exciting, but scary. Of course, after 2 weeks of plain old nasty weather, Saturday (the day I planned on hunkering down to study for hours) was a perfect…
storms, storms, and more storms.
I’m currently hiding out in the bathroom. We are under our hundredth tornado warning for the month (I exaggerate, but only a little). And it has been raining for at least a week. I suppose this is a good time for some blogging. Eric loves extreme weather. I think this was fueled by his stay…
life in oldham county.
I’m so behind on blogging. My apologies. Let’s jump back two weekends. Eric and I headed home to celebrate my birthday with our families. My family has been spread across the country a bit, so this was the first time we’d all been in the same house in months. It was pretty exciting. Anywho, back…
a sunday hike.
It’s finally warm! The temperature topped 50 degrees on Sunday, so Eric and I headed out for a hike in Shaker Village (just another stop on our tour of Kentucky). We visited Shaker Village a few months ago and enjoyed the cute little craft stores and freshly baked cookies. We picked up a map of…
the treasures of the peddler’s mall.
This was a weekend full of randomness and laughter, a winning combination, in my book. We started the weekend with the BCM’s Dinner Theater production of “Star Woes.” Dinner Theater is always the most hilarious and wonderful BCM event of the year, and I am thrilled to say it did not disappoint. We have some…
Here’s to Kentucky.
I, Eric, have spent my entire life in Kentucky (minus some pretty great vacations here and there). I even lived in the same house from the time I was born until I got married! Because I’ve lived here for so long I guess it’s been pretty easy to dream of far away places. Going into…
let the travels begin.
Hey folks! We’ve been saving up all of these exciting Kentucky travels to share with you for several months now. If you live in Kentucky, you should visit these places. If you’re planning on traveling to Kentucky, you should visit these places. If you don’t have any plans to ever come near Kentucky, perhaps we…
