Thanksgiving take 2

Thanksgiving Part 2

I survived my first Thanksgiving with Chris' family.  We had a wonderful day in Ashland, Virginia at Chris' great aunt and uncles home.  It included, shooting, golfing, a pinata, football, and lots of food!  I made my impact when I sat in a chair and busted through it.  Ok, let me set it up... it was a director's chair with a rip in it, and it was my turn to shoot, so I stood up and then they yelled "you're next", so in mid stand up and I sat back down and poof... right through the seat.  I guess they won't forget me for awhile.  Oops.  

I made my way out on Black Friday, but not until 5 in the evening.  I had to decorate for Christmas first.  I was able to snag some gifts for Chris at Kohl's and then I made the mistake and went to Wal Mart... never again.   We bought some fabric for new pillows and some paint to match for the staircase hallway.  We started painting, and it looks great!!  

I wish we had this much time off every week... it is wonderful.  Chase has enjoyed two outings to the dog park in the last two days.   Pictures are coming... and don't be alarmed, we are shooting at a target, NOT an animal!

Working on the Weekends is no fun!

GMU has a three day swim meet this weekend, so I am stuck at the pool for eight hours a day. Let me tell you how fun it is.... ok, were you able to hear me scream! Anyway, I forgot my camera for the Pacers/Wizards game, but the Pacers got beat anyway.
Chris and I are off to his family's Thanksgiving on Thursday morning. I hear I get to shoot a gun, I will definitely take the camera.

HAVE a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!

Leftovers

Another weekend gone?

Hmmm.....
Friday night marked the opening of GMU basketball. Chris, Becca and I enjoyed dinner and beers before the game in the Patriot Club (something special for donors at the arena).... no, not like $5,000, more like a lot less than that because I work for the athletic department, we get the hook up with a smaller donation. They won...
Saturday I shopped while Chris watched his cousin play some football and then we came home and cleaned up because we had company coming. Alli (Chris' sister) and her friend Taylor came into town from UVa and we went to dinner with them in Old Towne.... it was really really good!! We started watching UVa football, but it was a blowout so we rented Ratatouille.
Sunday was our one year mark for living together. Chris surprised me with flowers and then took me to Brunch in Old Towne. It was fantastic. We came home and watched the Colts... I wish I hadn't watched... it was rather embarrassing. Other than that, pretty uneventful weekend.

I won tickets to see the Wizards play the Pacers Wednesday night, so I will take some pictures and get them posted!

I have updated the site with lots of pictures! This week included a trip to the vet.. chase wasn't feeling well, but after a week of antibiotics, she is back up and ready to go!!! Chris and I had a quiet, nice, relaxing weekend at home. I had to work on Saturday, but was back home before I knew it. Chris put up the new Roman shades in our bedroom, I organized the back yard and watched the COLTS lose... how disappointing. This weekend will mark the ONE YEAR of Chris and I moving to the apartment... wow, time flies.
