This weekend Fred and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary.
WOW. I can't wait.
I'm going to make Fred and I drink wine and dance to this song this weeekend

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Brr....it's cold outside! (it's 64° and yes, I'm freezing)
I feel like curling up in my pajamas, snuggie and slippers
BUT,
I'm trying to stay awake for dinner with my bestfriend and her family.
The Redskins are playing the Eagles right now.

I'm going to go watch and support Fred's team(well my team now) in my jersey.
After, I finish playing with my new camera I bought for my upcoming trip to Atlanta,GA.

WHAT I LOVE
Fred is headed down to North Carolina this weekend for his cousin's wedding. We usually spend every weekend together and are always on the go. Even though I miss him right now, I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to relax and get a lot of shopping done. I love weekends like this. Especially on the first weekend of October. The sky is clear and the weather is crisp.
So far my schedule looks like this:
Tonight (Friday) - LAY DOWN. I'm not sure if I've blogged about this before, but since July I've been suffering from shoulder and back problems. After 4th of July my lower back started to bother me and then it moved around to my left side. The pain eventually crept up the left side of my back and has now moved into the middle of my shoulder blades. I've seen two doctors, underwent electric-shock therapy and taken pain medicine. The pain subsided but it still bothers me. I stopped doing weights at the gym thinking that was the problem. However, I've been running about 3miles on the treadmill every night and my back kills me. It feels like I need to have my back cracked or go back to a chiropractor. The only thing that helps is pain pills or laying flat. It's weird. So for the rest of the night, I'm going to lay down and watch tv (Dateline--my favorite!)
Saturday - Mom and I are waking up early to participate in Richmond's Alzheimer's Memory Walk. It's a 3 mile walk and it's for a great cause! I'm glad the weather has cleared up. Plus I can get some exercise in before I spend the day shopping for Atlanta and the whiskey cruise.
Sunday - Maybe go to church with my mom. She goes to church every Sunday and usually I sleep in. Then I'm going car shopping with my dad again! I'm going to look at the Nissan Rogue again and checkout the Chevy Equinox. (I really wish I could afford the Ford Edge or the Acura MDX....one day)

And in response to Denise's blog ...since I'm missing Fred, these are a few things I love about my better half.
Fred is a man's man. He loves beer, trucks, football, baseball, and golf.
(he will have his own ManCave one day)
I love his laugh
I love that he's tall and can wrap himself around me in a bear hug
He's not boring
He's the best snuggler around
I love that he can COOK (because we all know I can't!)
He's sweet and sensivite and always makes me feel beautiful
I just love everything about him.

RAINY DAY
It's a rainy lazy Wednesday. I don't feel like doing anything. (It took me 2 hours to get focused at work today) I usually go to the gym every night, but right now I feel like curling up and watching a movie. (Preferably, Marley & Me). It's my most favorite movie ever. Even though I cry everytime I watch it I can't get enough.
I wish I was in Fred's basement on his comfy couch wrapped up in a blanket with him watching it right now. Not forcing myself to get to the gym.

I actually just teared up watching this video

COUPLES WEEKEND
Fred and I visited The Holman's this weekend in beautiful Charlottesville. We hadn't seen them since early Spring and wanted to checkout their new home. It's perfect - and everything I want one day in a starter home. We had a great time catching up, hiking, being goofy, and sleeping in. We're already planning another trip back soon. Luckily, I get to see Denise very soon when we hop on a plane to Georgia to visit another girlfriend from college.
Here's 2 pictures of the gorgeous view ontop of Humpback Gap
(amazing view)
(Fred and I on top of the mountain)
I'm glad we got to catch up with friends. I needed a weekend to be silly. Denise and Stu welcomed us into their home and we couldn't have asked for better weather or a better weekend (even though Saturday was cut short!) It was also good to be around another couple who's so in love. I always tell Fred how lucky we are to have the same group of friends who are all in great, supportive, long-lasting relationships. That's important to me. It's good to have friends to talk to, who can relate to you, and will encourage you throughout it all.

COOKING
I'm attempting to bake again this week.
If you know me, you know that I never cook or bake. My mom and dad do all the cooking in our family (I sometimes assist). I can make a mean grilled-cheese, green bean casserole,heat anything up, and bake cookies and cupcakes (while studying the directions on the box hard). I once made Fred chicken alfredo with the assistance of my Italian friend, Gina.
Fred knows that I'm lost in the kitchen. I burnt the easy package mashed potatoes. Fred said it was impossible to burn mashed potatoes - I did. Luckily, Fred is a great cook so I know we'll never starve. Actually Fred and I would never starve, we would just go broke because we'd be eating out a lot or ordering in.
I am so jealous of my friends; Marianne, Gina, and Denise. They all LOVE to cook and bake! They are going to make perfect mothers and wives one day. I promised Fred I would get into the kitchen more and learn to cook some things so I'm a pro in the kitchen like those girls.
That is whyyyy this week and weekend I'm going to try again (I'm hoping to cook a meal for the boys with Denise or at least write down some of her recipes that look easy).
Fred and I are going to visit Denise & Stu at their home in Charlottesville. Last time, I made a dessert that everyone thought was gross (except for Fred, but I'm not sure if he was lying). So this time around I'm going to bake something different.....something like,
Pumpkin & Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Sound yummy? I'm going to the store tomorrow to get the ingredients I need and I'm going to whip up a big enough batch to take to work and to last this weekend. I hope my co-workers, boss and FRIENDS like them.
Wish me l-u-c-k

A BUSY WEEKEND
Fred and I were all over the place this weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather.
Friday was Adam & Arieanna's wedding: Fred looked oh so handsome in his tux. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Piedmont Country Club on the 18th hole. We had a great time with great friends. Unfortunately, I did not catch the bouquet. This linebacker of a woman was infront of me and I did not want to go up against her (she ended up knocking a girl to the ground for the bouquet, and then getting kicked out later because she was so drunk)
Saturday - we slept in til noon (literally), Fred made us breakfast and we watched football until we had to leave for Leesburg for my firm's bbq. We were in Leesburg for about 3 hours and decided to make an impromptu visit to Tripp & Marianne's in Woodstock. We got back on the road (even though we had to make a few pit stops along the way - we had terrible stomach problems from all the junk we'd eaten since Friday night) for another 40 minutes or so. The sun was setting and the drive was great. I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS. We were so excited to see Marianne and Tripp. We had such a great time with them.
Sunday - we slept in again, Tripp made everyone breakfast and the boys went golfing. Marianne and I went to the Edenburg Town Festival where we ate icecream and kettle korn, walked around and finally headed back home.
Unfortunately the redksins lost yesterday. I don't know how since they had a 17/10 point lead most of the game. This put Fred in a terrible mood. His parents fixed porkchops on the grill while we watched in agony the game in overtime.
It was hard getting up this morning, but it always is for me since I never rest on the weekends. Yes, Fred and I slept in but the 1hour and 15min drive up and back, as well as the late nights really wears me out. I love the weekends where Fred and I do nothing but just lounge. I can't wait for fall so I can snuggle up with him on the couch (in my snuggie) and fall asleep while he watches football.
