Hiatus...

I guess I took a little blogging hiatius. We've been pretty busy since our weekend at the beach with the UGA boys. I won't go it to detail because most of it is not that interesting...
- On the Tracks 2 Fridays ago. So much fun, as usual!!!
- Watched Auburn lose twice:( At least this past weekend we got to see it from the scholarship seats!
- Celebrated some birthdays
- Helped mom decorate 2 Christmas trees!
- Philip has been running his little heart out! He's training for the Huntsville Marathon in December and doing great so far. Tomorrow he's got to run 18 miles, yikes!!
- Signed up for the Seaside Half Marathon in March. Going to run 3 half marathons in 3 months. Mercedes in Feburary, Seaside in March and Country Music in April!
So that pretty much catches you up on what we've been doing!

Tonight I'm off to Birmingham with Merry-D and Lyndsay to see Tim Brantley at Workplay. I can hardly wait!!! We're staying at the new aLoft hotel in downtown Homewood and eating at, you guessed it, ROJO!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow we're going to shop around Bham before we come back. Then Philip leaves Sunday morning for a conference in New Orleans. I think he's excited but a little bummed b/c he's going by himself. He's definitely glad he doesn't have to do a presentation this time!! :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

Toodles!!

We had a WONDERFUL weekend on 30-A with the Georgia Boyz!! This trip was a little different than our last reunion as we've added 2 and another one will be here in December! We didn't really do too much, which is probably what made it such a great trip! Philip and I rode our bikes down to Seaside Saturday morning and we all spent a lot of time on the beach.

As for the new job, it's going great! So far I am loving it, especially the whole walking to work bit:)

Toodles!

This Week: New Job and a Beach Reunion!

I start a new job tomorrow! It's very strange to me that I won't be driving to Auburn and working with all my ladies at the Chamber/Tourism Bureau!!! Now, my commute will be about 4 minutes on foot, 2 minutes if I ride my bicycle:) That part I am really excited about!!

I'll be working for a law firm, Samford & Denson. They have been in Opelika for close to 100 years! The lawyer I will mainly be working for is on the Board at the Chamber so I have known him for a while now. He's a super nice guy, born & raised in Auburn.

I honestly can't say exaclty what it is I'll be doing b/c I honestly don't really know:) Lawyer stuff, I guess:) But I'm excited about a new challenge and learning about something that is really foreign to me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Philip's parents came down with Grandpa Texas and we tailgated and went to the game yesterday. Crazy weather again this weekend and we had to hunker down in the minivan for about 30 min. But the rain came a lot earlier in the day so by game time, it was just drizzling a bit.

We stayed until almost half time then headed home to check on Grandpa Texas and get in some dry clothes!

Today has been nice and relaxing! A pedi and sushi!!

I'm looking forward to the new job and our Britton Ave beach weekend!!! Thursday right after work we're heading down to Water Sound with Philip's roomies from UGA. Should be a great weekend!

Toodles!!

Yay!!! We're finished!!!

The hubs was here!
Doing a lot of this!!!

Hopefully he'll have the energy tonight to do a little post about his trip!!

War Eagle!!

Jenn's first visit to The Plains in a long, long time!!!
Hiro & Lyndsay stopped by for a bit!
Britney, Tony & me

Well it was quite an eventful weekend!!! Here's what happened:
1) Wingate came to visit!!!! We had so much fun! Dinner at Cafe 123 Friday night, tailgating Saturday, wimped out on the game, watched it at my cousins apartment and at Hiro & Lyndsays, coffee shop
2) Tony & Britney came to visit!!!! They came down Saturday for the game and spent the night. They were not wimps like me and Jenn and actually stuck it out for the whole game. True fans:)
3) Volree and Nick became parents!!!! Baby Cooper was born on Saturday afternoon right before the Auburn game started. I'm so excited for them and hope to meet him soon!
4) Philip went to Colorado with Scott and Matt for a fishing/camping expedition. I still haven't laid eyes on the boy but from our limited phone conversations it sounds like he had a great time!!! He slept for a few (like 2) hours in Birmingham then got up at 4:30am this morning and headed straight to the hospital:( He says he has great pics so maybe once he's caught up on his sleep I can talk him in to posting about it.
5) Yesterday I did nothing and it was glorious!!!! I watched the entire first season of Sex & the City. A fun lazy Sunday:) Lynz and Hiro came over with some leftovers and watched some SATC with me. Hiro was thrilled!

I'm hoping to have an uneventful week this week since last week ended up being super busy!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Toodles!

Asheville

Sunday Mountain Bike
At the start, ready to go!!!
Being silly in our race t's the night before.

Heading to Asheville in the mini van! Hooray!!

Asheville was great! We had so much fun! The house we rented was about 5 minutes away from downtown and so cute! We had a hot tub and fireplace that we used all weekend! The best thing was being able to keep the windows open the whole time we were there. That just isn't possible in Alabama in September!

We headed up Thursday afternoon and were so excited when we finally got there about 10pm.

Friday, the boys went mountain biking and the girls shopped downtown all day. We also drove the race course so we'd know what was in store. Let's just say we were all questioning our decision to run this race. The hills looked awful!! That night, we cooked a good meal at our house and relaxed before our big race!

Saturday morning we got up early and headed downtown to the race. The weather was perfect! In the 60's and cloudy, just the way I like it:) The race was the hardest I've ever done but it wasn't as bad as we thought after driving it the day before. Lyndsay and Mary had a great first half marathon!!! They both crossed the finish line with a smile on their face:)

After the race, we hung around downtown and chilled at the Beir Garden for some post race libations. Then we headed back to the house to relax our legs in the hot tub and take naps!

Saturday night we went to a tappas restaurant called Zambra. It was so good!!! We had big aspirations of painting the town but dinner pretty much did us in and we headed home and hit the sack!

Sunday us girls did a little more shopping in Biltmore Village and the boys did one last mountain bike ride. I think they were both worn out because when we got back to pick them up, they were both exhausted and beaten up!

We finally made it home about 8pm Sunday night. It really was a great weekend with great friends!

Toodles!
