Had a fantastic weekend with Family & Friends. Friday night, we went bowling with a couple of my friends from work which was soooooooo much fun. Who doesn't love to bowl??? What a great night out!
Saturday we spent the day with the in-laws. First, we went to Newport Creamery for breakfast...I seriously hadn't had their homefries in like 6 years and was so happy to finally get to go there and taste them again! Delicious. Then we shopped around a bit and went to my newest favorite restaurant Chipolte Mexicana or something like that. All of their burritos are organic and they make the biggest and tastiest veggie burrito ever with the absolutely BEST guacamole I've ever tasted. The only way I can describe the restaurant is to call it the "panera" of "taco bell." Fast food but classy fast food. And hey, they even serve MARGARITAS!
Saturday evening, we went to the yearly auction at the school mom in law works at...and my parents came to which made the evening awesome. Tom & I got some great deals & helped support the school. We bid on a $50 gift certificate to a nearby Chinese food restaurant along with 10 tickets to the local speedway and won it for only $50.00! What a bargain. Tom fell in love with a Cross Pen and spent 35 dollars on that (I thought it was a bit much for a pen, but Tom insists it retailed at 135 dollars). And our biggest DEAL of the night was bidding & winning on a red Lane Recliner & a $100 gift certificate to a local furniture store...for both together we only paid $250.00. And needless to say, I am in love with my new recliner. It's FABULOUSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Sunday, it was my mother in laws birthday so we had a nice dinner and of course CAKE. Yum delicious.
So basically eating was the theme of the weekend. We are looking forward to what April brings!!!
And a certain someone has a birthday coming up a week from tomorrow...wonder who???

March & Veggies
On March 12th Tom & I officially reached our 6 month anniversary as a married couple. It seems unreal that time has flown by so quickly. I picked up a little cake & card for us to celebrate. I am seriously the luckiest woman in the universe to have such a fantastic husband. Today was awesome because Tom cooked a delicious breakfast for us and we just went for a ride around town because it was so BEAUTIFUL out. I love that Spring is so near!!!
In other news, in the past week I have decided to become a vegetarian. I read this book called "Eating Animals" - by Jonathan Safran Foer. If you enjoy eating meat I strongly suggest not reading this book, but if you feel ready to read about our farm system and the horrible things they do to animals; it is quite enlightening. Tom is okay with this decision and has been very supportive. Don't get me wrong. I ate meat the last 23 years of my life, so I have nothing against those who will continue to choose meat...but for me, I think this is the right decision. Oddly enough, I really don't miss it that much either. I have been eating much healthier options and feel genuinely good. My skin looks clearer, I am not eating to the point of feeling "stuffed," and my portions are under much better control.
Until next time...

March
Since I last update our good friends in South Carolina have given birth to a sweet baby girl. We are so excited for them as first time parents.
My vacation request at work was finally processed. Tom & I will be on vacation June 8th-20th. Woo hoo! We are planning on driving and taking a little East Coast road trip to visit family and friends. We are planning on leaving that Thursday evening and driving 16 hours to South Carolina to visit our friends and their little bundle of joy for the weekend. Then, on Monday we would drive another 4.5 hours down to Georgia to visit Tom's grandparents for a few days. Then head back toward home on Thursday and stop somewhere halfway ? West Virginia and hopefully be home for Saturday night. This will be our 1st family vacation (minus the honeymoon of course), so I am really excited!!!
This month we are also planning on getting together with Nicky & Joe for another night out--possibly to Dave & Busters, since they have never been :O). And toward the end of the month we are going to the yearly Good Shepard Auction which is always tons of fun! This year my in-laws and my parents are coming so it will be a fun family affair!
'Til next time...
