Visitors on the way!

It's been a while since I've had time to sit down and make a post, but I finally found a little bit of time to let you all know how things are going down here in NC. 

It's a beautiful fall day in Chapel Hill today; the weather has cooled off a bit this week and I've enjoyed a break from the humidity. I've been busy with classes and school screenings and Evan with work, but we've found some time to have fun these last few weeks as well. 

A couple weekends ago we attended the Tyler's Blue Ribbon, Bluegrass, & BBQ Festival in downtown Carrboro, which was very fun with brews, BBQs, and live bluegrass music at a local venue. There is a Carrboro Music Festival next weekend that I'm hoping we'll get to enjoy as well!

Enjoying the music at the bluegrass festival!

Last weekend, Evan's good friends Erik & Mike came to visit and it was fun to show them around the town. We all headed to Sammy's Sports Bar in Raleigh (about 30 minutes away), which is notorious for loving Mountaineer Football to watch the WVU vs. JMU game. This place is incredible!!! Having no idea what to expect, we pulled into the packed parking lot and saw that practically every car had some sort of a flying WV on it. Inside, there was a huge room dedicated to the WVU game with tons of fans. Seeing all the Mountaineer fans in NC was so great! We definitely plan on heading back to this bar for future games.

As I blog, my mom & pops are heading to NC for their annual autumn beach trip with friends. Lucky for me, Emerald Isle, NC is only about a 3-hour drive from Carrboro! They are coming to stay the night with us tonight and head the rest of the way tomorrow. They were nice enough to let me claim the couch at the beach house for a few nights as well, so I'll be heading to Emerald Isle for the weekend to relax and spend some time with them. Unfortunately, Evan has to work on Sunday (yuck!) and can't make the trip. They'll be stopping through next weekend to hang out for a day, so at least Evan will get to spend a little bit of time with them even though he can't go to Emerald Isle.  It's been almost 2 months since I've seen my parents, and I'm really looking forward to catching up with them! I'm sure the next post will contain lots of fun pictures from their visit!

Until next time...
