Alisa comes to KY and Maggiano's!

So my sister came to KY, sans kids, for a weekend to hang out, shop, make scones, eat at Maggiano's and drive to central Ohio for some retail therapy! We had a good time and the best part was watching her have to sit on her suitcase to get it to shut! Ha!

Louisville with Jenn and the PEO's!

So Jenn came over from Asheville, NC to go with me to Louisville for a PEO convention! It was a great "Girly Weekend" that went off without a hitch...except getting lost in the ghetto of Louisville, going to the weird "Bodies in Motion" exhibit full of real dead people, eating about 5000 calories at breakfast and dinner at Lynn's Paradise Cafe (totally amazing grub), laying out by the pool and listening to traffic at the Galt House, and trying to hunt for a parking space. :)
Since Nathan was in California, Jenn was my date for the weekend. We had alot of fun just being our weird selves in one of my new favorite places in KY, Louisville!

This was Lucy after we got home...we snuck up on her napping on the porch! Aaron was our Lucysitter for the weekend! :)

California!

So Moo Moo and I went out to visit Nathan while he is on a job in California. He is staying in Stockton California which is so central to many of California's places to visit!

We went to Yosemite, San Francisco, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and Napa Valley. It was a great trip! Here are some highlights!

Lucy....

Just a picture of our cute little pooper.....and a fun St. Patty's day sign on the front of the house.

The BIG wedding gift!

We combined our wedding money and then the rest was my Valentine's present from Nathan and finally got grown up furniture! :)

I love it! Check it out! My mom got us the linens and curtains a while back but now they look so good with the new duds! :) See Mom look how clean my room is now!!! It only took almost 30 years!

Nathan turns 31! AKA Thanksgiving in February

So originally I had planned to have a cook out for Nathan's birthday in Morehead. Well the weather forecast for that weekend expected several inches of snow so that is not helpful to having a BBQ! I tried to think of something fun to do instead. Well Nathan's favorite holiday hands down is Thanksgiving. He loves all the yummy things to eat and then loves the leftovers even more. So with Moo Moo's help we had Thanksgiving in Feburary! We invited over some friends and here is Matt cutting the turkey. Moo even made Nathan a yummy cake while I was turkey baking! It was a fun thing that did not fall into the normal birthday party theme. Plus we had leftovers for a week!

Lucy meets Linus!

So my mom saved us a fish from the wedding that despite Nathan's opinion, it is still alive! He did not think it would survive the trip, but this fish is a trooper!
