This past weekend was filled to the brim with a lot of fun activities! Since we knew that Saturday and Sunday were going to be super busy we decided to have a relaxing night in by watching The Lorax and The Hunger Games I had watched The Lorax as a kid and enjoyed it but wasn't too impressed with the new movie. I would give it 3 stars. I haven't read The Hunger Games but decided to watch the movie with Dave. I really enjoyed it and want to know what happens next, so it looks like when I'm not studying for school, I will be reading the books! We also took a break to get some fro-yo...yummy!!! :)
Saturday morning we drove to our jeweler so I could pick out a simple wedding band that I can wear when I'm exercising, at the beach/pool or doing other activities that I don't feel comfortable wearing my original ring since it has a lot of tiny diamonds and is very delicate. It was fun to be back at our jeweler...I mean what girl doesn't like to look at jewelry?!?! :)
Guitar-Shaped Margarita/Strawberry Daiquiri and a Funnel Cake! Concert FOOD!
Dancing to "Then" in the rain <3
Jeff & Susanna being cute! :)
Saturday afternoon we headed out to Bristow, VA for the Brad Paisley concert with our friends Jeff and Susanna. We tailgated for a little while and did a lot of people watching (OBVIOUSLY this is a must for country concerts!) Easton Corbin opened up as well as The Band Perry. They both were amazing and I especially loved The Band Perry. Their song, Postcard from Paris, has become a favorite of mine. Brad Paisley was out of this world! He's such a good performer, seems so genuine and has an amazing voice. This was my 3rd time seeing him in concert and he was just as good as the first two times. Unfortunately, it rained but that didn't stop us from enjoying the concert. The highlights from the concert included: being able to experience Jeff's first concert with him :) , dancing with Dave to "Ticks" (the night we met, we played this song on Guitar Hero together), dancing with Dave in the rain to "Then" (our first dance song), Carrie Underwood coming out and singing with Brad Paisley and just having a wonderful night with great friends!
The Band Perry: "Postcard From Paris"
Pulling up to Cirque Du Soleil!
Sunday afternoon Dave surprised me with tickets to Cirque Du Soleil Totem. This was the first time for both of us to attend one of their shows. We had such an amazing time; the tricks that they did were phenomenal. We kept looking at each other in awe of the performers. It was such a fun date and something different from what we usually do.
It was such a fun-filled weekend with great friends and my wonderful husband. Now we have my beautiful cousin's wedding to look forward to this weekend in New Jersey.
Okay, so I wrote this post earlier this week but hadn't gotten around to adding the pictures, so please forgive the delay!
This past weekend was P-E-R-F-E-C-T! We started the weekend with a fun game of Top Golf on Friday night with our good friends, Jeff and Susanna. We all took golf lessons together this summer and wanted to practice what we had learned. Even though I forgot some of the things I learned during our lesson it was still a fun night with great company!
Dave & Suman at the aquarium!
Saturday we drove up to Baltimore to visit our friend Suman and his girlfriend Rupal. It was so good to see them again since we hadn't seen them since our wedding except for about 5 minutes back in December. We decided we would spend the afternoon at the Baltimore Aquarium. I had never been to the Baltimore Aquarium and was really looking forward to it! My favorite exhibit was definitely the shark exhibit...man, are those things creepy looking!!
Dave w/his "grape soda"
Yummy baked gnocchi
After a fun day of exploring the aquarium we were all famished! Rupal found the perfect little Italian place for dinner. I had baked gnocchi which was TO DIE FOR! Dave thoroughly enjoyed his "grown-up grape soda!" :) The food, drinks, conversation and company were amazing!
After our big meal we decided to walk back to the Inner Harbor. As we strolled we came upon this little park that had instruments you could play and the craziest walkway I had ever seen. We hung out there for a bit before we decided to grab a drink.
Rupal & Me playing in the park!
I swear I'm only squinting b/c there was a huge fan over my head!
We walked by Dick's Last Resort and I was immediately drawn to the ginormous margaritas with beers in them! We decided to get a drink there so Rupal and I each ordered a margarita and shared it with our guy! :)
What a wonderful day it was with great friends!
Sunday was spent relaxing at the pool and catching up on chores. All in all I would say it was the perfect weekend!
Life has been busy lately and I LOVE it!! Last weekend we went to the Outer Banks with Dave's aunt and uncle and his cousins and had a wonderful time! We relaxed, swam in the ocean, visited the dunes, had a few cocktails, played some games and overall had an amazing time; I was sad to come back!
Having fun at the dunes!
I've also been busy with school, which is not fun, but it just means I'm that much closer to getting my CPA which is exciting. We've also been taking golf lessons every Saturday morning with another couple which has been quite the learning experience. I've learned so much over the past few weeks, that I think I might want to continue taking lessons every now and then. We have our last lesson this coming Saturday which makes me sad, but hopefully I can takes some more lessons in the near future!
Since we were hit by that crazy storm on Saturday, we decided to do some outlet shopping with our friends instead of sitting inside our houses with no power. It was so much fun and I came home with a few goodies! ;) I think even Dave had a good time!
Celebrating my promotion!! :)
Saturday night we relaxed, celebrated my promotion from work and watched some swim trials. I've been hooked on the swim trials which makes me super pumped for the Olympics! I can't believe how young some of these swimmers are and the times they are putting out. It kind of got me thinking about joining a Master's swim team....
Relaxing by the pool on Sunday afternoon...
Our summer is pretty packed but I love it! I'm looking forward to a short week this week and New Jersey the following weekend! I hope everyone has an amazing Fourth of July!!!
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been busy traveling: a trip to my parents' house and two weddings. I'm also taking a summer class so that I can start sitting for my CPA exam this winter. Life has been busy but I like being busy!
This weekend Dave and I are starting golf lessons with another couple and I'm completely ecstatic! I've taken a golf course in college and played a couple of times but it will be nice to learn from a Pro! The rest of the summer consists of a few long weekend trips, continuing training for my half-marathon, fun times with family and friends, summer concerts and hopefully some relaxation.
I hope everyone's summer is off to a great start! Below are some pictures from the last few weekends!
Celebrating Mother's Day!
