A Fun February

What a great month it has been! Typically by February I'm tired of winter (or maybe I'm just ready for the birthday celebration month of March) and feeling the cold weather blues.  But with multiple fun weekends in a row, I've got a lot to share!

Last weekend the Widney's came down for their first visit to Carrboro since they helped us move last August.  We had a great weekend, despite some chilly weather (I'm convinced they brought the WV weather with them!). We went to the UNC vs. UVA basketball game (the Heels got the W) and enjoyed eating out at all sorts of delicious restaurants!

Good looking crew :)

More than anything, it was just great to catch up and visit. We had a great weekend!

After a short week of class and work, Evan and I left for Savannah, GA on Friday for a weekend away.  Evan has a work-related conference in Savannah on Monday & Tuesday, so we figured we might as well enjoy the area over the weekend!  Although it was a bit rainy (and by a bit I mean it didn't stop all day Saturday), we had a great time! We were staying in the Historic District, which was full of beautiful architecture and rich with history.  Friday night we decided to go on a Ghost Tour Pub Crawl - and it was a great decision! Our tour guide was both fun and full of information, and we learned a lot about the haunted history of Savannah while enjoying local brews around the town. The rest of the weekend was less planned, but we had a great time walking around the district, exploring local boutiques and yummy eateries.

Hazy (but beautiful) view from our hotel!

 On Sunday the sun decided to come out, and although I had planned on leaving to head back to Carrboro by noon, I stuck around until after 3:30 pm because I couldn't get enough of the 75 degrees and sunshine!

Enjoying the Sunshine!

Beautiful spanish moss on the trees all over Savannah!

 It was a wonderful weekend and a great way to relax before I begin 2 weeks of midterms!

Love to all,

Hello, 2013!

Hello, all! I apologize for the lack of attention that my blog has received thus far in 2013, but a new year brings with it new classes and new responsibilities.  However, here are a few photos from NYE, when there was only fun to be had with friends in Pittsburgh!

Ellie & Molly ringing in the New Year! Gold & glitter seemed to be the theme.

"Celebration"

A big accomplishment for me this winter break was finishing up my big canvas project for the living room wall (which has been stark white and screaming for some color since we moved in).  The piece is representative of the Tree of Life, which is a symbol to me of hope, strength, and the celebration of life. I had been working on it for a few months and was fearful I wouldn't like it when I finished. Thankfully, I think it looks pretty snazzy on the wall.











It's been pretty quiet in NC over the last few weeks for Evan and I, but last weekend we were lucky enough to head to Virginia with friends Greg & Brittany to Wintergreen Ski Resort.  We had a relaxing weekend away and I even got back on skis for the first time my snowboarding accident 4 years ago. I stuck to the green & blue slopes, but I only fell once! It was nice to be around some snow and chilly weather since the weather has been so mild in North Carolina.

This upcoming weekend, Evan and I are looking forward to hosting his parents for a visit!  Evan has a few fun things planned, like attending a UNC bball game, and I know it will be great to just spend time together and catch up.  The following weekend Evan and I are heading to Savannah, GA to celebrate a belated Valentine's Day.

Lots to look forward to - Missing you all every day!
