Once we made it to the house I didn't leave until Sunday morning for the trip home. There was lots of girl time, eating, basketball and movie watching. And I loved it.<br />
<br />
I thought the shower was super cute and our host did such a great job of pulling the theme together. Lots of bow ties, gingham, and of course biscuits.<br />

We played a name game and decorated onesies for baby R. I made suspenders but there were argyle vests, bow ties, an R and plaid shorts too. I think one of my favorite ideas was the addition of little bow ties to the ultrasound pictures. So silly, so cute.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-3266407932313766592013-03-22T15:00:00.000-04:002013-03-22T15:00:14.462-04:00Girls weekend!After a couple of super busy days at work and the start of the NCAA tournament I'm so ready to get this weekend started. A few of the girls from college and I are making our way to Richmond for a girls weekend and I'm so ready! It's been way too long since I've seen these girls and am ready for a lazy weekend of eating, snuggling, Grey's Anatomy dvds and some movies.<br />
<br />
This has been my view all afternoon. One great thing about working in athletics is the ability to openly watch basketball in the office. Thanks for the W Duke!! Keep it rolling!<br />

My friend P called me out on practically quitting this blog. I'm still not sure if I am really going to continue with this. It's been so easy to fall off the wagon. I've contemplated moving this fun over to Tumblr. Thoughts? I made some cosmetic changes, so maybe that will inspire me?Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-45016159436518440262013-02-20T15:29:00.001-05:002013-02-20T15:29:59.911-05:00Sorry I went MIAHey friends sorry I've gone MIA the past couple of weeks. I missed a few big things. Those missed events include my sister's birthday, Valentine's Day, 3 friends with the same birthday last Friday, and today is my friend Allison's birthday. Sheesh you guys. Seems like everyone needs to simmer down in May.<br />
<br />
I've been keeping myself busy with work, sleep, lots of basketball games and now we can add in all my spring sports to that list, and just a couple birthday parties. March is a busy month for me, so I'm planning to enjoy one more lazy weekend before it all begins. I'll leave you today with an iPhone dump of pictures.<br />

1. We hosted the Harbowl at our house. Full house with 25 attendees.<br />
2.Spent a Sunday back home with friends. Brunch/lunch followed by drinks and the State game at Busy Bee. Followed by beer and pizza with my dad and friends. Pretty much a perfect day.<br />
3. Mexican food then birthday/ Valentines cupcakes.<br />
4. A mini train ride through the mall. Was that real life?<br />
5. Current read<br />
6. Present from my Valentine. Love you Mom!<br />
7. Wii dancing to Michael Jackson. The boys are the most entertaining.<br />
8. It snowed all day last Saturday. I stayed in and laid around drinking coffee and watched the snow. Another fantastic weekend.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-25496128867341542602013-02-08T15:46:00.001-05:002013-02-08T15:46:35.621-05:00Surviving this week seemed similar to crossing the street in Vietnam.

So let the trip planning begin. The flight has already been booked with the intentions of spending Friday night in the city and moving north Saturday for the wedding. We have no clue where we'll stay in the city or really what we'll do, but we're getting around to those details.<br />
<br />
In my boredom with work today I started doing a little research and found this 50 coolest places guide. Many are not applicable, but thought I needed to mention this place - <a href="http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2013/01/the-50-coolest-places-in-new-york-right-now/good-beer-nyc" target="_blank">Good Beer NYC</a> - just because of the Raleigh, NC shout out in the description. If we get homesick in less than 24 hours we know where to go.<br />

The school smelled like middle school. Cinder block walls, cream colored paint, $3 tickets, tiny concession stand. It was great. It made me wonder about a lot of things from 16 years ago. Was I that lanky? (probably) Was our gym that small? (probably) Do all middle school gyms have a stage in them? (probably) Cheerleaders still do the whole A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E cheer these days?! (definitely) I think it was awesome and they got the win. Our friend is an assistant coach for the boys team so it was fun to see him in action. The step team was a bonus. As was the baby in the Apple Bottom jacket.<br />

With that said, I would like to introduce you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CheersWithLove" target="_blank">Cheers with Love</a>. My friend Sooze's new Etsy shop for customized wine bottle labels. She has always made these for showers, special events and decorations at her own wedding. I think you all should go check it out for upcoming Valentine's gifts, wedding season and even baby showers. No one said the label had to go on alcohol, although it probably will in my world.<br />

It was a pretty fun trip with great weather. The zoo was rather small, but M didn't care at all. He kept yelling "let's go" and running to the next exhibit. I'm not sure how many times he said "you hear it?" or "you see it?" talking about all the animals. So cute. This kid is smart too, he knows what all the animals are and can usually make the sound each one makes. After looking at all the animals we rode the mini train and hiked up to see the<a href="http://www.starcityradio.com/roanokestar.html" target="_blank"> Roanoke Star</a>. And then had lunch downtown Roanoke before wandering the streets and shops.<br />

This kid loves goats. His other grandparents have a farm with tons of goats that he loves to chase and yell at. Definitely not scared of them, that's for sure. He acted like he was feeding this one and I think he was confused as to why it was in a fence.<br />

Last Friday night a bunch of us girls went out to dinner and the bar for a friend's early 30th birthday celebration. I enjoyed a Tiger beer at dinner in honor of my trip to Singapore and the many many Tiger beers we had there. There was clearly a chocolate cake involved in the celebration as well. "Happy 29 again Sarah"!!<br />

And this week has been pretty much work, work out, sleep. I did go to my first zumba class last night. It was actually more fun than I thought it would be and went by really quickly. Tonight we're supposed to get some snow so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we actually do. It's a rarity here in NC and I love it.</div>

Gross, rainy, cold, foggy Fridays make me want to take a sick day and lay in bed all day. Instead I'll work 8 hours without a lunch, work it out quickly at home and get ready for a friend's birthday dinner. It could be worse though. Diversity training this morning could've lasted longer than 4 hours.

My roommate is making me work out with her these days. She's the one getting married in 6 months, how did I get roped into this? I did not say yes to the dress.

I got a heads up that my first "I really like you" boy’s ex was there. In high school/college we couldn’t stand each other, but let’s be honest it’s been a hot second since then. She also got the heads up that I was coming. All was well. Now imagine that I’m not drinking at this party (I know, a practical impossibility) and she has taken it to the other extreme. And then it happened. She was running around the beer pong table, yes that was happening, when she fell down and broke her wrist. Thanks for coming girl, I just won this party.</span></span>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-82154185308643751862012-12-25T21:53:00.002-05:002012-12-25T21:54:31.895-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This past weekend we went to the beach and celebrated an early Christmas with mom's side of the family. It was a fun day, but we definitely missed those that weren't there. We do the white elephant gift exchange, where you draw a number and pick a gift or steal a gift from someone else. I ended up with a travel coffee mug and Target gift card. Perfect!<br />

<br />
Trip to the ABC store and grocery store with my pops.<br />
Made lasagna for dinner. Recipe from memory, snaps for Erin.<br />
Got the first burn on my hand for the holiday season.<br />
Drank wine with my parents as Dad played DJ.<br />
The 3 of us sat on our own computers.<br />
Watched basketball.<br />
Had a pizza delivery guy try to give us the neighbor's pizza at 10:15pm.<br />

I canNOT wait. Get me to my parents house and their couch and their always working wireless and coffee made in the morning and a weekend of sweatpants and lounging with Peter the dachshund. My sister and youngest brother won't be home this year which is just sad, and leaves us 2 middle children to hold it down. We got this.<br />
<br />
I spent tonight doing laundry and writing to do/pack lists and packing up food and clothes to take home with me. Oh and I might have spent some time catching up on blogs, drinking a cappuccino, and (I'm scared to admit it because my Dad always says nothing Christmas until we get through Thanksgiving) listening to Christmas Power Hour right after I put up some twinkly lights in my room.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-32735679510405008682012-11-20T11:29:00.001-05:002012-11-20T11:29:17.860-05:00Wedding season winds downOur beautiful little Sooze of <a href="http://hereandtherewithsooze.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Here & There with Sooze</a> got hitched this past Saturday, on the most perfect wedding day ever.

And then I realized I left my make up bag at home. The bag that held my makeup, toothbrush, floss, contact case. You know, all the essentials. I made do, but had to make sure no one drank my contacts. Because Kim's husband drank her contact on the first day of their marriage.</div>

And there were lottery tickets! How cute is this favor? I won $2, but obviously forgot to take that with me or give it to anyone else to redeem. Sorry Sooze.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Saturday we went to visit the bride in her suite while she was getting ready, then met another college friend and her boyfriend for a fun little brunch. After brunch we drug her back to our room to hang out with us while we got ready for the wedding.<br />
<br />
The ceremony was at the couple's church in Georgetown followed by the reception at the masonic temple in Old Town Alexandria. They were so thoughtful and generous to get buses to transport all the guests around town the whole night. Thank goodness because we would've never made it anywhere on time if we had to navigate ourselves.<br />
<br />
Sunday the bride & groom made appearances in 2 hotel lobbies to say goodbye to friends and family before everyone headed home. And now the newlyweds are enjoying a week in Jamaica. Luckiessss!

I spent last weekend traveling back and forth to my parents house. Trying to get the house ready for the holidays. I also watched 3 movies, which if you know me, is completely shocking.<br />
<br />
What to Expect When You're Expecting - I thought it was cute. As far as I can remember it's appropriate for viewing with parents.<br />
<br />
Wanderlust - Miserable. Like, I fell asleep miserable. Not necessarily appropriate for watching with parents.<br />
<br />
The Lucky One - Predictable but still cute. I was hesitant about this one because I have the book and normally like to read the book before seeing the movie. I'll still read it because it has to be better than the movie. Parent appropriate.<br />
<br />
I've listed parent appropriateness for P as she prepares for a weekend with her mom.<br />
<br />
In other news. I have a weekend full of sporting events ahead of me.<br />
Last night our men's soccer team won their tournament semi game, so the final is tomorrow night. Right after our last home football game. And tonight I'm heading to the first basketball game of the season at Duke. I kind of love it, but I also kind of want to crawl under the covers and take a long nap but I guess that'll have to wait until Sunday.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-36014261766385836162012-11-02T16:28:00.001-04:002012-11-02T16:28:21.934-04:00Be pretty.

Just liked this little quote to start off the weekend. I hope you all have a fun weekend! I'm debating between going home for a night with my parents or spending a night at home being lazy. Lots of sporting events this weekend, maybe a brewery tour, and hopefully all with some naps mixed in. But either way, I'm starting it off by heading to the polls.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237085609583901866.post-57545777746509258422012-11-01T16:01:00.001-04:002012-11-01T16:01:33.456-04:00Fun was had by allThese pictures are a little delayed, but we went to a pumpkin patch 2 Sundays ago and then carved pumpkins on Monday night.

I hope you guys had a fun Halloween! I certainly enjoyed mine. I went to a little gathering at a friends house complete with homemade white chili, pumpkin poop (puffy Cheetos) and eyeballs (marshmallows with M&Ms) and lots of other goodies with fun names. I'm sad I wasn't with my favorite quarterback and mini football but I guess we can't always get everything we want. My boss still hasn't mentioned the loud group that stopped by his house last night after the porch lights were turned off. Guess that's a good thing for us?Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02189291932709064405noreply@blogger.com0
