She & Him

I had kind of a single girl evening tonight.  Justin just started classes for the semester and his Wednesday class runs until late.  So I:

• went shopping on the way home from work (NOT my favorite thing to do, but I needed shoes for the wedding I'm in next Saturday)
• walked the dogs when I got home (photo above)
• made some pasta for dinner
• practiced on the fiddle while it cooled (I like cold pasta for dinner when J's not home)
• and ate dinner while watching HIMYM reruns.

Now, many of those things I would do with him home, but sometimes it makes me feel like a single girl to do them without him.

Friday, Friday!

Yup, this Friday, Justin & I are going to see the President, First Lady, VP, and VP's wife in Portsmouth!

We found out yesterday that he is coming to Strawbery Banke, where I used to work.  I quickly sussed out more details, scheduled a meeting for Portsmouth after work, and attempted to get tix there.  But after driving by twice and seeing the line wrapped around the Obama for America office, I headed south to less liberal climes, i.e. the Hampton office.  They had a few people in line and tickets available after about a twenty minute wait.

So excited for Friday!

A Puppy Picture

OK, enough with the birthday boy.  I like this shot of the puppies relaxing in the shade on the deck.

Lake!

The birthday boy again, tapping away on his phone on the screen porch this morning.  And up in the corner, a reminder that we're on lake time.

Birthday Boy

Justin's 27th birthday is tomorrow and as usual, we're spending the long weekend at the lake to celebrate.  I took this shot of him this afternoon, when our neighbors took us out on their boat to the local restaurant for margaritas and food.  Not a bad birthday weekend thus far!

On the Road Again

Have fiddle, will travel.
