i haven't had a weekend like this since college

seriously. here's a rundown...


friday: got to spend the day with michael:) and then got a call from the in-laws saying "Can we keep your kids overnight tonight?" um, yes! so we had to be at Alderson for the First Friday Art Trail, which went GREAT! there were lots and lots of people. and i discovered something new about why i like to paint. when people look at my work, they (most of them) smile. i like that. here's a shot of all the beauties on display...


and check out these pretties... by the lovely sarah timmons. you can find her on etsy too at pinkstreet.etsy.com!

after the art trail, we ate dinner at Freebirds (yum). next comes the crazy part. i got a tattoo. yep. it was something i had been wanting to do for some time. michael had actually given me a gift certificate to get it for christmas. yes, i said gift certificate.

saturday: i was in pain. but i did get to take a nap, which was good because we had tickets to see a bullriding championship. yes, i said bullriding championship. we are not cowboys... well, isaiah is, which is why we went. michael had borrowed a hat and boots. yes, he "duded up" for the event. we even listened to kenny chesney! here's some evidence...

sunday: we went to some friends for the super bowl, where we enjoyed food, beer, and margaritas. no pics from that. it wasn't really crazy, but fun nevertheless! pretty good game, too!

i'll return with a shot of the tattoo as soon as it isn't crusty.


enjoy your week. e
