Come Fly With Me

"Come fly with me let's fly, lets fly away..."

I wish I could.

Today Mike is flying back to university to finish up for the year. I was so lucky in being close by him while he student taught; but it had to come to and end eventually.

Next time I see him will be at graduation and I know it's only 5 weeks but those weeks are going to drag on and on. Anyway, we did get to have one last date...

On the way down to Vermont I crocheted this little flower and sipped on a Tim Horton's Iced Coffee.

Then I was able to meet up with Mike at an Asian restaurant and have a bite to eat.

I honestly think that my favorite thing about these places is the tea. Is that strange?

After dinner, we walked over to a little cupcake shop and had a little dessert. Of course that wasn't enough so we also stopped at the grocery store to pick up some Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. Interestingly enough, they were having tasting samples of Vermont goat cheese too. Being from the city, I've never had goat cheese and my first experience with it was...unique. 

I will leave it at that.

Eventually, it was time to say goodbye.

I'm really really really going to miss him but we'll keep in touch with skype and e-mails.

Some say it's get's easier to say goodbye after you have a ring on your finger but I think it just makes it harder.

Don't worry about me though, I've cried my tears and today will be filled with crocheting and shopping therapy.

100 Posts!

Hey Everybody! This is my 100th blog post.

Here I was on a typical Tuesday morning about to make a post fearturing my awesome weekend and lo and behold I see this is my 100th post. I don't know about you but that made me smile.

You know what this calls for....BALLOONS!!!!!!!

Ok, now that I've celebrated enough, let met tell you about my weekend.

The History Department here at school took all the history majors to a civil war reinactment day and I got to tag along! (tottaly beat last year when I had to spend Saturday by myself while Mike was gone on the trip)

Anyway, the day was full of activities and comepletely awesome. Here are some pictures we took...

I have a couple of hats like this...I'm just not sure where or when to wear them...

I had to stop and take pictures of this gorgeous senery, Mike smiled at me and said "you'd think she's never seen a flower before!".

Let me just say that it was pretty awesome and fun learning all about the civil war and the people who lived int hat time period. If you've never really gotten into history you've missed out. These people lived in an entirely diffrent culture and it's rather intersting to learn about them...maybe people will think that we're interesting to learn about in years to come...

Mike bought me this yarn. Scroll down for the story...

Of course this little tent caught my eye. The lady who runs this little set up raises her own sheep and makes yarn from their wool. She had all kinds of colors and textures. I bought 2 natural "samples". One from a white lamb, and one from a black lamb. I'm not sure what I'll make with them yet...whatever it is it has to be epic! Any ideas are appreciated.

Wodden Spools...can't wait to edit this photo.

That's all for now guys; I have a ton of pictures from Saturday that I'll try and put up later.

I hope you had as much fun on your weekend as I had in mine!

Bye Bye!



New York!

So, I left yesterday afternoon on a family/college roadtrip.
First, we drive all the way down to south carolina to bring my brother to school..then drive all the way up to winsconson to drop me off at school.
Along the way we're getting to see some pretty cool things. Today...New York City!

Some of you may reconize this from TLC's Cake Boss. I didn't actually get to go inside. The waiting line was literally a block and a half long! I was able to see them working upstairs through the windows though. I was pretty psyched out even if I didn't get to go inside.

My brother took this picture for me. I love these shoes, but sadly, they are falling apart. I did get them used at a second hand store for 3 bucks so I guess I'm getting what I paid for.

:-(

We took a boat to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The boat ride there was a litlte bumpy, but the ride back was a lot worse. My brother and I actually got thrown against a wall on the boat when we hit the dock hard. We didn't get hurt though. All limbs acounted for!

There she is! She wasn't quite as big as I thought she would be, but the whole experience was wonderful.

Hopefully, I'll get some more pictures of my road trip later for you all to enjoy.

Giveaway Contest

Hey Ya'll! 

Happy to announce that Mike and I made it home safe and sound AND on time (hooray!) and he's doing much much better now. He just started eating again (after about a week of not eating) which will help with all the weight he's lost the past week. 

Anyway, I'll be getting my etsy shop all set up tomorrow (hopefully) and baking up some goodies in the kitchen. 

But, until those updates and posts...check out this giveaway I found on one of my favorite blogs.
