number 10

over a week since my last post!? sorry y'all! andrew and i have been taking a little break from wedding planning for the last week. i DID finish the save the dates (minus a few addresses); however, they seem to still be sitting in the living room in a big pile. whoops!

what we've been doing (besides NOT getting save the dates sent):

we spent last wednesday night celebrating andrew's niece's first birthday. miss leah is andrew's older brother, mack and his wife kellie's, baby girl. i'm convinced she's the cutest thing i've ever seen. the proof is in the pictures: case closed. i'd take her everwhere with me, if i could. the party was a super cute pink and brown themed event (two thumbs up, kellie!) - compelete with delicious cake and cute baby clothes.

friday night my little brother, john, took a break from fraternity life to grace us with his presence. john, andrew, and i spent the majority of the weekend shoulder to shoulder on the living room couch reliving our childhood days by playing mario kart and 007 on the nintendo 64. a great time was had by all (except john because he's good at losing). lesson learned: i rule, boys drool.

after an unsuccessful 3 holes of golf, andrew and i decided to stay outside and enjoy the sunshine on saturday. we took my super sweet, super stinky dog, sport for a little hike through the woods. we discovered fun things along the way: a beautiful view, a horse, a donkey, deer bones, and other things that will remain unmentioned (possibly bear poop! YIKES!). needless to say, we got our workout in! a few highlights:

haha. the horse is my fav.

on a more somber note, tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the massacre at virginia tech. it's so amazing to look back and see how far we've come after overcoming such a tragedy. i'll always be a hokie, and especially since april 16, 2007, i have 32 reasons to make sure i never forget it.

"This is a tragedy in American history. So for today, forget any and all of your college affiliations. For today, we are all Hokies."
