Not Quite On The Road Again...

So, we didn't make it to Hampden-Sydney this weekend like we originally planned.  Everyone in B's family was sick, and since we'll be in VA for Thanksgiving (which is less than 2 weeks away - crazy!), we decided it would be better to stay here.

Needless to say we were both bummed, but decided to make the best of it by taking a day trip to Asheville. We woke up early, grabbed the dogs and hit the road.  B had never been to the Biltmore, so we decided to spend the day there.  Obviously we couldn't go into the house with the dogs, but we had a great time explore the gardens and vineyards that run throughout the property.  It was a gorgeous, gorgeous day:

After exploring the gardens and walking for over an hour, we rewarded ourselves with wine and lunch, outside of the winery.  I also did a mini photoshoot of the dogs :)

Hope you had a good weekend, too!

In Glee Heaven!!!

Who else is SOOOO glad Glee is back?

I got so excited that B actually agreed to watch it with me.  Big night...

...we also had a big weekend down here in the QC.

After 3 weeks of bathroom demolition, which meant living in our guest bedroom and having a toilet in our dining room, we finally have our apartment back....at least until the guest bathroom renovations start in another week.  Sigh.

Our dining room, finally put back together.

We also had our first engagement party.  My mom says this means B and I are officially engaged.  So basically we're out of the wedding closet, woohoo! 

The theme of the party was bbq, bluegrass and brews.  We had tons of friends and family there, it was pretty awesome to have so many people celebrating with us, especially those that came in from out of town.  It was a super fun night, but I did feel like I needed it to last a few more hours so I could actually catch up with everyone.  Thank god our wedding weekend will be two nights, otherwise I'd need an 8 hour reception to have enough time with everyone. 

So Cheesy Yet Cute

B had tons of family in town for the party, including his mom, dad,  brother, sister, aunt, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.  I spent Saturday with a bunch of the family waiting in line for...wait for it...Jessica Simpson.  It was a labor of love..B's niece was DYING to see her.  I have to say, she looked pretty good:

Hope you guys had a great weekend, too!
