Our First Weekend Away...

We contemplated blogging, because this won't technically be about our house, but we figured we'd keep everyone in the loop on our life :)

We just spent our first weekend away from our new home- the first weekend away in 5 weeks. For anyone who really knows us, that seems impossible. We're always on the go; between football season, fishing, and hunting, I'm not sure we spent a single whole weekend at home last fall. We headed out of town this past weekend for a good reason though: the Orange and Blue game in Gainesville. The Orange and Blue game is the spring football game, where it's defense vs. offense, and they debut new plays and players. It was pretty awesome, minus the tremendous amount of alumni with children, who were constantly back and forth through the rows. Luckily, it isn't like that during regular season :). We're lucky enough to have a best friend (Megan) who lives in Gainesville, so we get to stay with her- she's a great hostess, and it's much better to stay with someone who's like family instead of in a hotel. We left after work on Friday, and pulled into Gville around 8:30. Megan's dad and brother were also staying with her, and they got into town shortly after we did. Needless to say, it was a packed house, but we made it work. Meg's dad and bro stayed in, and we headed out downtown, to Nelly's. We met up with a guy Steven works with and his wife, Autumn. It might've been our first weekend away from our new house, but it was their first weekend away from their new baby, so they had us trumped.

We had a great time.. and here's some evidence:

On Sunday, we decided to go a little out of our way, and swing into Steven's parents' place. Steven's cousin Jesse and her husband Evan are in town from Vermont, so we wanted to see them. We had a great day, playing some cards and ate some dinner before getting back on the road. We didn't make it home until about 10pm, but the weekend was definitely worth it :)
