Tuesday, June 28, 2011

I know this is a little late but I am just stopping bye to let you know I made it back safe from Chicago and survived the first day back at the office. I am going to leave you with a couple pictures from my trip.

Me waiting for the Metra Train into the city.

Our first picture taken in the bean!

Another bean shot. This was underneath the bean.

Trying to hold the bean up!

Enjoying all the great food Chicago has to offer!

It was an awesome trip! I can't wait to go back :-)

Hope everyone else had a great weekend also!

Happy Friday!!

Friday, June 24, 2011

I am very excited about this weekend! I am working a half-day and then flying off to Chicago to see my sister and the sights. We have a long list of things to see including:

Kate Spade Outlet

Sears Tower

See Giant Reflective Bean

Millennium Park

The magnificent mile

Unpack Scrap Stuff

Wrigley Field

Soldier Field

Lincoln Park Zoo

Not sure we will get to all things on the list but we are going to try and do as much as we can. The other thing we will be doing a lot of is drinking Slurpees!! I sure miss having those back home. It is nice to know we can have them in Chicago :) I can't wait to see my sister!

Hello Monday!

Monday, June 20, 2011

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good. A little busier than I wanted but it was nice. We headed to the lake Friday evening and went to dinner with Patrick's parents. We then got up early Saturday morning to go to the Davidson Farmers Market. Below are some pictures of walking around Davidson and the restaurant Toast where we had brunch.

Downtown Davidson

Me with some purchases including a bunch of sunflowers that we got for $5!!! They are very pretty. In my red bag I have squash, peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. I also stopped in a little shop and bought a very cute bird feeder for Belinda and a wrist purse.

This is where we had brunch. It was very yummy. All the food was very fresh. I had french toast stuffed with blueberries and hash browns. The hash browns were AWESOME!!

After we left Davidson we headed back to the lake and painted a table on the porch. The table was found in the trash and we were turning it into something pretty. Here are some pictures of us painting the legs and a finished picture.

It looks so good on the porch.

We finished the weekend with a movie on Sunday for Father's Day with Patrick's dad and family.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and here is to a great week!

Hello Friday!

Friday, June 17, 2011

This is the view I hope to have most of the weekend with a good book in my hand. We will be spending most of the weekend at the lake house going on boat rides, relaxing and hitting up the Davidson Farmers Market. I am very excited the weekend is finally here!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hello Friday!

Friday, December 10, 2010

I am happy to have made it to my favorite work day of the week. We get to wear jeans and don't have to come back the next day. What could be better!

Tonight I will be going to the Carolina Christmas light show at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We were very smart and paid the extra money for the fast pass. We didn't really want to wait in a long line.

Tomorrow I am finishing up my Christmas shopping with a very dear friend. I am pretty sure we will have a great time shopping for others and maybe a little for ourselves as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
