Lake House Weekend

Ahhhhhhh....what an amazing weekend!

Seth and I joined our Life Group for an extended weekend in a beautiful house on Kerr Lake. It was so fun and so beautiful, I wish we could do that every weekend! Not only did we have a lot of fun with great company, but we ate like kings! Ben and Jenni really know what they're doing in the kitchen! Friday night we had burgers, Saturday night we had tri-tip (which is an awesome cut of steak), Sunday we had pasta in a white wine sauce with chicken, and Monday we had chinese! I think I gained 10 pounds just listing all that out! And to think, after all that I still wiggled myself into a bikini-I've lost my mind!

Check out the pictures below, there will be more, but this is all I have for now.

Oh, and I think I gave some of my groupies a free show. We were sitting on the dock, just hanging out, letting our feet dangle in the water. I was wearing my bikini bottoms and a sports bra (not your typical one though, this one is more like one of those liners on the inside of a spaghetti srtrap top, without the top over it, get it?) Anyhoo, so we're sittin there and all of a sudden this GIANT moth lands right in between my boobs! AH! So I freak, as I think any conscious person would do, and start pulling the top and trying to swipe the thing away and I think during the process flashed my groupies...yea...that was fun. lol Seth thought it was hilarious!

Enjoy this pics!

I've Been SHOT!

Ok, so not by a gun, but by a needle. Today I had to got my annual PPD test, so dear sweet nurse Amy came and pricked away. Normally I don't bleed from these, or if I do, its the teeny, tiniest little drop of blood, but not this time! I'm bleedin like a ...a....well, I don't know, but I'm bleedin! She said today is the day for bleeders b/c everyone has been bleedin.

So y'all check back in 2-3 days to see if I passed and if I'm going to live :)

Update**I'm going to live!! No tuberculosis here!**

Go Bulls!

Last night we went to a Durham Bulls game with our life group and had so much fun! It was $1 concession night, so that definitely was good. Seth had 3 hotdogs!!!! I think the Bulls ended up losing, but when we started to leave during the 7th ening, they were up, and that's all I'm going to remember! They had some super good plays!

And......Seth caught a baseball!!


Ok, so he didn't actually catch it, that would have hurt really bad, but it hit/landed about 4 seats from us, so he jumped up and grabbed it! So cool!

I love Durham Bulls games. They bring back so many good memories. Last year Seth and I went to a game for our anniversary and he had them put "Happy Anniversary Katie & Seth" on the jumbotron! It was sooo cool and sweet!

I'm definitely looking forward to the next time we can do this again!

P.S. I fond my camera charging cord and power adapter!!! Yea! I can use my camera now! Hence the pictures from the baseball game :)

Grow where you are planted

I ordered a butterfly garden from Michigan Bulb Company recently, and I'm so excited, b/c I just received it!!! Yippee!

I was curious how the packaging was going to be, live plants/seeds, so here are some pictures of the LIVE plants :)









Now, I will need all of your help to remember to water these plants once I get them planted!! I would really be pissed if I killed them over such a small issues as watering, lol

Busy!

Wow! We have been so busy lately! It seems that once the warm weather started, everyone came out of hibernation and filled up our calendar! We have had something going on every weekend for the past two months and half of June is already booked.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, we have had a lot of fun and I've gotten to see lots of friends while doing fun stuff, I'm just meerly noticing that wow, we've been busy! lol

This week is no different, we have company off and on with dinner plans, movies, and traveling all mixed in.

What are you doing for the Memorial Day holiday??

I'm going to Richmond this weekend to visit Xander's mom! We are going to have a blast! I'm so excited to leave! I just hope I don't leave my camera!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
