It's been a long Semester...

Well, I ended the Semester with a 3.88! YAY!!! Super happy that I got an A in both Public Speaking and Psychology 101! 

Just a quick update, seeing as I haven't written anything in a while on here.  I have drafts of future posts, but haven't quite had the time to finish them! Between school, the animals at home, and various other things, life gets busy!

Lets see... We celebrated our 1 year Anniversary of being married!! Where did the time go?!? 

We went to a wine tasting just south of Rochester, and had Sticky Lips for the first time (soooo much better than Dino BBQ!) We tried over 15 different types of wine, and managed to make it back that night for Alex to get to work.

Alex got his first pair of Oakley sunglasses, and boy does he look handsome! And finally going over a month without losing a pair of sunglasses... well worth the investment!

I went to EquiFest, a place where horse people get together, watch demonstrations, and can shop at numerous vendors.  There was an awesome demonstration given by Stage Coach West, where they do a western shootout on horseback, aiming at balloons, going full speed on horseback! Pretty impressive.

I finally got a new pair of glasses, (which are purple) and love the way they look! :)

I decided to weed out the side garden by the garage, put down some mulch, and voila! Garden.  Now, there's a bunch of mint growing, making it smell really nice, and a great addition to our cooking!

We opened the Historical Society Museum this year, and also had one of our Pot Luck dinners.  We had Jason Stienagle come in and talk about pre Civil War Slavery, which was amazing and very informative. Dressed in costume as a Plantation Owner, it was very realistic, and shows the dark truth of slavery.

During the semester, I wrote and produced a play! We did really well, and had very few mistakes during the performance.  This was a great ending to my semester, and has inspired me to look more at plays, and play writing.

Last Thursday, I threw a surprise birthday party for my Mom, YAY!! My uncle came in from out of town, and had other family members and friends come over for the surprise.  It was a lot of fun, and had some amazing left overs!

What else? We went to the Adirondacks this past weekend, staying in the same place we did last year, in Lake Placid.  We didn't climb another mountain, but decided to keep a campfire going, do some grilling, play pool, and go in the hot tub! Alex had a pretty intense game of chess, coming to a draw without losing any of the pieces on either side!

This weekend, we are finally going to enjoy a small (but much needed) honeymoon in Pawley's Island.  Oh, the beach awaits! Along with a lazy river, two pools, and hush puppies! Twin Lakes Restaurant is going to be our first stop for dinner! I CAN'T WAIT!!! T-Minus 15 hours!
