Great Start to Spring!

What a great weekend I had!  The weather was great, the company was even better!

On Friday, my sister came over with my nephew and we took a little trip to the dollar store.  What's not to love about a dollar store?!  I ended up not buying anything, but Tee (that's what I call my sister) got some Easter stuff for Emily's teachers and aids.  David was getting ants in his pants, so we went back to my house.  And since the weather was GORGEOUS, we walked down to the play ground in my condo complex.  I think he had a pretty good time!

Then on Saturday Matt and I took our HIS motorcycle out of hibernation.  We haven't been out since waaaay back last summer.  We took a little ride up to High Point State Park with my parents and brother who also have motorcycles.  If you drive all the way to the top there is a great mountain top view of the county.  It was so pretty.  And of course, since I didn't not bring my camera with me, I missed a great opportunity to snap a photo of a bald eagle.  I could kick myself.

Sunday was a hiking day at "our" park.  I call it that because it's where we always end up on a nice day...we were also engaged there.  :o)  We bumped into good friends that we don't get to see a lot because they moved pretty far away.  They just happened to come up to visit family and we were so lucky to see them!  After catching up for a bit we continued on our way.  A few piles of snow were still fighting the good fight, but it was mostly gone...even if Matt had to eat the rest of it.
And finally in wedding related news, my mother actually found a dress she was happy with...and in the first store!  Hell hath frozen over, pigs are flying, cat's and dog's living together...I can't even believe it.
