I need a reminder...

to blog more often! As Chris has said, I am on vacation this week. It's kinda silly, but they close down the school system for the week of the 4th; however, we have to make up 30 hours or take 3 vacation days. I have already worked my hours. Ok, this is going to be long, so bear with me.

First, the wedding. We had an amazing time at the b&b and with Brandy and Jason. It was so great to be there with them for their day. Chris and I were beside the best man and maid of honor. The first picture is of our bedroom at the b&b. The bathroom is really neat, too. The walls were the original brick because it was the outside of the house before additions. The second pic is of me and Brandy before the wedding. She looked great! Chris and I got down there early on Friday and we went to lunch with Brandy and Jason. After lunch, Chris went with Jason and Brandy and I went for pedicures. After that, we picked up our dresses from the shop and took them to the church and then I went to check into the B&B. Then, we ran to her house to change for the rehearsal and ran back to the church. The rehearsal dinner was at Jason's sister's house and it was great. We had BBQ and just an overall good time. The day of the wedding went very well. I bought food for the bridesmaids to have while dressing and the guys went out to eat. The ceremony was beautiful and the flowers were gorgeous! After the reception, we went to Riley's house for a party. There was food and homemade ice cream. We left Sat. night to come home. We picked up Shiloh from the kennel on Sunday and had a nice weekend.

So, now on to more things. I have been cleaning the house on my vacation. I am making an effort to get things where they need to be so we can paint. As previously noted, Chris suffered a major sunburn last week, so we didn't do much over the weekend. Yesterday, we embarked on an adventure to Lynchburg. It was a great day. I don't think it got over 85 all day. When we got there, we went downtown to eat lunch at a BBQ place. They had great fudge pie. :) After that, we went over to the distillery to take the tour. I had never done it before, so I found it very interesting. The place smelled wonderful. Our tour guide talked about the stills and it made me think of my family! I have some distant relatives who were moonshine runners! We had a wonderful time. Then we came home and Chris went to the volunteer fire dept. to log in some time. I am hopeful that we are going to be able to go canoeing this week.

Today, I had to take Shiloh to the vet. I hate to take her becuase she is terrified of that place. She is having some bad allergy problems and we need to give her some new medicine. When I got her there, she tried to run back to the car. In the waiting room, she hid behind me, shaking. We finally got her in the room and she hid under my chair. As the doctor was examining her, he literally scared the poop out of her. She does this almost every time. I don't know why she is so scared there. But, we got some steroids and have to consider giving her allery testing. She is better now.

That is about it for now. I told you this would be long. Katie, I made a bacon, cheese and spinach quiche for dinner. It was the first one I ever made and not bad. Not as good as some I have eaten, but not bad.
