Andy's Visit to Boone

I'm finished!!!! My last two exams are over with and I am home for my two week beginning-of-summer break!! 

Andy was finished with his exams last Friday so he came to visit me on Tuesday until today when he went home before my last exam. This was the first time we'd seen each other since we got engaged!! Almost 2 whole months apart. We had a wonderful time and I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking :)

When Andy got to Boone Tuesday, we joined Mindy, Marc, Meghan, and one of Marc's friends at the Brewery after my first final. I loved it! I think we'll be going there a lot this summer :)

before we left

Wednesday Andy and I went golfing at Boone Country Club. Well, he golfed. I drove the golf cart ;)

It's a beautiful course!!

I love watching him golf :)

We went to a nice dinner at Casa Rustica after golfing to celebrate my birthday :)

Thursday we went to Banner Elk Winery!

Sadly, they were out of the blueberry wine Mindy has raved about but we decided to get a glass of the Seyval- a little more bitter than I like but pretty good.

Next stop, Which-Wich picnic at Wildcat Lake

Then we decided to visit Grandfather Mountain Winery on the way home. I'm SO glad we did because we did the "sweet" tasting, much more my speed ;)

We didn't get any glasses here but I thought it was a beautiful setting to sit by the river a drink a glass of wine :) We will definitely be back.

Thursday night we ordered pizza and App Cookie Co! Such a good time with my main man. I always, always hate to see him leave. Thankful that there are only 3 weeks in between when I'm seeing him again this time. 

End of the Year Shenanigans!

This past week my laptop got a face lift ;) It was part of my Easter basket that came in the mail a week later! My aunt Kim made the monogram for it and I think it looks fantastic :)

I also got some new clothes for the summer (I LOVE Old Navy's summer line every year) along with a new shirt from the Boone Souvenir Shop. I think it is my new favorite t-shirt!

My last weekend in Boone mostly looked like it usually does. Cleaning and laying around Friday night and take-out and a movie Saturday night! The past several weekends the fun has come on Sunday. I guess I'm finally rejuvenated by then ;) My little and grandlittle, Megan and Allie, came over! Allie wanted to make Megan, Meghan, and I her famous chicken curry. I had never had curry before and it was an interesting flavor! I think she did a great job. Then we decided to get cookout milkshakes which led to swinging at the park :)

 Meghan wanted to take some selfies to prove she was there too ;)

After all these pictures Allie decided we should take some "candids" Enjoy the progression of these below ;)

Love my grandlittle ha ha 

The night ended with belting Celine Dion on the way home... 

we were parked in this picture, no worries

… and trying out a dandelion experiment that was total fail. OH and they actually talked me into finally updating my software!! I have 7.1.1 now y'all! (I had not updated my phone since the update came out in the fall hah)

Finally, tonight I joined my SLP ladies for a Cinco de Mayo/end of year celebration at the new mexican restaurant in town, Cilantros. I can't believe we have a whole year of graduate school under our belt!!! 3 more semesters to go! 

I'd say the end of the semester has wrapped up well :)
