Whew! I know that I have posted in a while but we have been busy packing, loading, driving, unloading and unpacking. We are finally here in Asheville!! I have a lot to update you on, including some fun desserts that I have made recently, but first I wanted to tell you about my birthday!!
Yesterday was my 24th birthday! First full day in Asheville and my birthday! I started off the day by unpacking. Ha ha! I couldn't help it, I felt like there was so much to do that I just wanted to get more done. Justin and to go sign some papers at his new/old job, so I thought that I wouldn't waste any time. He came home with a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple flowers for me :)
Since the last few days have been so busy and stressful I wanted to have a 'chill' birthday. We packed up our cooler with drinks and sub sandwiches and headed out for a picnic at the Asheville Botanical Gardens. There is a little stream there, so we hopped over some rocks and had a lovely little picnic right on the banks of the stream. It was perfect. The sun was shining, the sound of the water trickling by and having my husband right next to me was all I needed. After we were done with our lunch, we walked around the gardens and snapped some pictures. Justin is starting a new blog, which you can check out here!
Picnic Spot
Check out his rolled-up pants! He's turning into an Ashevillian already!
I started calling him my little Huckleberry Finn!
After our picnic, we headed home and just relaxed. I started feeling sick and exhausted yesterday, so I thought it would be good to just lay down and let my body rest. Since I am not a napper, I watched the 4th installment to the Love Comes Softly series!! (I missed you Erica!!)
In the evening we had dinner on the Sunset Terrace of the Grove Park Inn. It was AMAZING! The view was spectacular! We were originally given these "ok" seats and right when we sat down the people next to us left, so we asked the waitress if we could move to their table. The view from that table was even more amazing. We had a nice leisurely dinner, Justin had Trout and I had the Filet. It was so peaceful and romantic.
Outside our new home!
Lookin' good ;)
The Grove Park Inn
The table we snatched!
Whoa! Look at my tan!!
Setting Sun- What a view!!
Even though it was not a huge birthday celebration, it was just what I needed and wanted. I got a relaxing, peaceful day with the man I love :)
Thank you all for the birthday calls, posts and messages!!
