To all the snow!

VT v. UVA 2015

Angela and my friend, Sara, went to the VT v. UVA game with me the Saturday after returning from NYC and the Thanksgiving Parade.  This game went back and forth with the teams trading touchdowns in the second half.  VT managed to pull off the win for Beamer and get the team to a bowl game.  The Tech fans rushed the field.  I was happy to witness this moment.

We went to Lampo, my favorite pizza place in Charlottesville, for dinner and Sara and I tried Brazos Tacos for breakfast the next morning.  I can always rely on Sara to enjoy good food with me!  I can't wait for another visit!

I love a band director

I have only made it to two rehearsals (and no performances, yet), but here's a taste of the UVA Marching Band.  I have the privilege of shadowing them to the Macy's parade this year! I'm hoping and praying for good weather!

Wine and Design

If you haven't found a wine and design studio and tried it out with a group of friends, I highly suggest it! We went on a cold night in January, after finally finding a day that fit our varied schedules, and it was so much fun!  All of us had originally bought a session from Living Social and had to use it before it expired in early Feb.  We brought snacks and wine and the painting was very doable.  Everyone's painting came out just a little different, but all of them were awesome!  It was such a fun way to spend time together!

Pippin Hill

I recently went wine tasting with friends at Pippin Hill. I would LOVE to get married here! I am sure that they are booked WAY in advance and that it is quite expensive!  I just love the barn and the muted country colors and the mountain view...I just can't get enough! I wish I had found it before it was so popular (and rumored that Jennifer Aniston was married there). http://blog.theknot.com/2013/07/25/did-jennifer-aniston-get-married/

Sunsets at Carter Mountain

This event happens at Carter Mountain on Thursdays in the fall. My friend and coworker, Meagan, finally convinced me to skip my Life Group for the last one of the season. We couldn't have asked for a better night!
