The Big 3-0!

I finally hit the big 3-0, and had a nice weekend celebrating. I had dinner with some friends last week, and Greg and I spent the weekend in Atlanta for Connor and Hudson's baptism. We got back into town Sunday afternoon, and I was greeted with a mini-surprise party at our house (Mama, Jake, Kelly, Jacky, Mae, and Greg were there). It was fun, and a nice way to ring in my 30's. Above is a picture of the gourmet cake!

Not much else is new. We're slowly but surely getting the nursery ready, and have benefited from some very nice hand-me-downs from Jake/Kelly and Stacey/Scott. We also registered recently, and have bought a few things ourselves. Other than that, it's been pretty boring around here!

Five Year Anniversary

It's hard to believe, but Saturday was Greg's and my five-year anniversary! Considering our "situation," we celebrated a little differently this year - no big trips, wild nights, or extravagant dinners. Instead, we took a day trip to several smaller North Carolina ski towns a couple of hours away. We spent our day touring Blowing Rock, Boone, and Banner Elk. It was fun to see these towns we had heard a lot about, and we were a little jealous that we couldn't spend the day skiing like most of the other people in there.

We also visited the Banner Elk Winery (see photos above). It was a lot of fun, and Greg really liked the wine. We returned to Asheville late in the afternoon - with a new appreciation of our town - and went to a nice restaurant downtown for appetizers, then another restaurant for dessert. Although it was a calm celebration, it was really fun and will be a good memory for us to share.
