My apologies for being away for so long. October has been a very busy month for the Kinard's. For starters, Brian celebrated his 31st birthday on the 6th. I think he had a pretty good birthday. We went away for the weekend to Lake Lure... about 30 minutes from Asheville. We hiked Chimney Rock, played on the rocks in the river and had delicious food. I believe Brody really enjoyed himself (yes, we brought our child along). I do believe he was a happy little dog that whole weekend. I think Brian enjoyed himself as well. It was nice doing something for him since he does a lot for me. I'm sorry I don't have pics on my computer from this trip...I guess I never added them.
The next weekend, we went to Mississippi to friends and family. We spent the night with Curtis that Friday night and with my parents that Saturday night. Brian, Curtis and I went to the Bin and had a few beverages. Saturday, my Dad and sister-in-law came up and us three had lunch at Petty's BBQ in which I found a piece of hair (not mine) in my sandwich. Needless to say I lost my appetite. Suzanne met with a friend and my Dad and I went to the MSU vs. Tennessee game. Brian and Curtis hung out. I figured they needed some guy time and plus I wanted to spend some quality time with my Dad. I have very few opportunities for that...I'll take what I can get. After the game, we met up with Brian and went home. Suzanne and Audrey spent the night, too. Chris couldn't make it sadly because of work. It was great seeing Suzanne and Audrey. I haven't seen Suzanne since Christmas last year and I hadn't seen Audrey since April. That little girl is growing up so fast! It was great seeing my Mom too :) It was a very short weekend, but it was a great weekend. I can't wait to go back for Christmas this year! Here are a couple of pics from the trip.
The following weekend was my 27th birthday. I cannot believe I'm actually 27...three years away from being 30. It really doesn't seem that long. I swear, I think the older you get, the faster time flies. We didn't do anything for my birthday. I didn't want to go anywhere since we've been gone every weekend for the past month. We were actually suppose to go on a hot air balloon ride, but that feel through. Instead, I went shopping. I bought a few tops, jewelry and shoes. We had Mexican for dinner and went bowling. I finally beat Brian in a game...that has never happened! He's so good at it. He's one of these people who either bowls a strike or spare...it's aggravating. I was happy I finally beat him and he said he didn't let me win. I believe him I suppose.
This past weekend was another relaxing weekend. Friday night we hung out at home. We were actually asleep by 10pm. Saturday, we got up and had breakfast at IHop which was delicious. That afternoon we went to a movie and watched Dan In Real Life...highly recommended. I loved that movie. Brian said it was a super chick flick. The remainder of the afternoon, I bought a few Christmas decorations. I know, I'm getting a little ahead, but I want to get the good items before they are all gone.
In between all the weekend fun was work of course. That's nothing to write about though. No need to bore you on that subject. Hopefully, I won't be away for so long. Life gets in the way for the little things.
