Things I'm most looking forward to!

This past week was full of sunshine and happiness. It made me realize how much I love the summertime and great weather. Aaron took the day off on Friday and we enjoyed the day together playing tennis, running errands, and enjoying ice cream out! My vera calendar is jammed packed for the summer and I can't wait! Here are a few of the things we are most looking forward to:

Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball games. Aaron and I have gone to at least 1 game each season the past couple of years, but we are looking forward to going to many more this summer as their stadium is just minutes from where we are going to be living!

Friday Cheers at Brown's Island. Many of the gals from work rant and rave about how much fun concerts are at Brown's Island. Im excited to partake this year in the festivities!

Weddings! We have 3 to go to this summer! Aaron's best man and long time friend Michael is getting married to such a sweet and cute gal in June! My college roommate Shelly is getting married in August to her high-school sweetheart the weekend of our first anniversary! What a neat way to celebrate our marriage! And a gal from work

is getting married, also in August! We are very excited to celebrate with each of them!

The Outer Banks: Heaven on Earth! Aaron and I are looking forward to a relaxing long weekend in July at the Outer Banks with one of Aaron's long time friends and her boyfriend. Bring on the sun, sand, and this year's Brew-Thru T-shirt!

A trip to Tennessee! We are planning to leave from Shelly's wedding to head a little further south to visit Aaron's grandmother. She is such a sweet lady, and I enjoy making trips to visit her.

Last, but not least: time on the Piankatank River and Chesapeake Bay. One of my most favorite things about Mathews is the salt water that backs up to most everywhere you are! I love the bay spray on my face, the sun shining down on me, and the carefree attitude of everyone!

Phew, what a summer we have planned. Can't wait for all of it to begin!

The move is finalized!

Aaron found out this week that his last day at his Ferguson location would be March 26, which meant we needed to get our ducks in a row to move to Richmond :) Hallelujah!

On Saturday my sweet cousin turned a year old-Happy Birthday Kayley girl! We headed south to celebrate her big day and decided to do some apartment hunting also. We found one just minutes from Aaron's new office and only a few miles from St. Mary's. Its a bit smaller than the one we have now if thats possible, but will work until we're able to find an area that we like and a home that will fit our needs.

We were also able to meet my maid-of-honor and long time friend and her bf at California Pizza Kitchen for dinner that evening. We had a fun time catching up and eating yummy food.

It was a great weekend for us. We got quite a bit accomplished! Hope you all had a good weekend as well. Stay tuned for the big move in a little over a month!

Isn't this sweet little guy precious? Aaron and I saw one on our walk this afternoon and I decided it is something I need :) We've talked extensively about getting a lab or boxer, but want to wait until we have a big yard. I think this would be the perfect solution until then, don't you? Now, if I could only get Aaron on the bandwagon we'd be set! I wonder what would happen if I just brought one home one day?

Still here...

In the past 2 weeks since I've blogged not a lot, but a lot, has gone on in our busy lives. Aaron and I have been on a hunt for a 4 wheel drive vehicle so that I can get to work when it snows. We traveled the weekend after Valentines to Va Beach to carry on the search. The truck we thought was "the truck" turned out to be a piece of junk-people: take care of your vehicles if you ever want to sell them! On our way to Mathews we saw one at a local dealership that did turn out to be the one so our weekend wasn't completely a waste. Turns out its the exact same truck my dad had when I was growing up just a few years newer-like father (in-law) like son (in-law). Now that we have found and purchased one we will probably never have another snow storm, but that wouldn't be a bad thing either. Check out the new Z-71:


This weekend we travel again to Mathews/Yorktown to celebrate Aaron's dad's birthday and on Sunday Aaron has his first soccer game! Looking forward to a good weekend with family! Enjoy the rest of your week!
