Good Morning. Last weekend was a big one...my last spring break as a student...ever. I think it's finally safe to say I will be done with my schooling when I graduate in May, so this really was my last random break for the time being.
While I can't say I spent my break living it up on a beach somewhere, I had the most wonderful week and I am so thankful for the time I got with dear friends.
As a quick recap of the last week:
- Put our house in North Carolina on the market...went under contract the first Saturday of break
- Spent time in Florida with friends and family
- Spent lots of time in Florida house hunting
- Spent time in the mountains with law school friends

The last part of break was a great time to hang out with the law school friends we have made over the past three years. While all of us will be in different states after we graduate, I am confident that we will remain close friends. (The bonds formed during weeks of an 8:30am class and the stress of exams are quite enduring.)
As a quick recap of our weekend celebration:
 |
| swiss mustard batons / saturday night dinner / beef tenderloin / tuscan chickpeas and grilled bread |
We ATE, ATE, and then ATE some more. As a result, salads and veggies are going to become VERY prevalent in our household over the next few weeks. Check back for recipes soon.

| wine tasting / whiskey tasting / a new find |
Josh organized a blind wine tasting on Saturday night. Each couple brought a bottle and we blindly tasted and ranked each. While it was a close race, a malbec won the day. The boys (and a few girls) were also so excited to do an "irish whiskey tasting" at the Old Edwards Inn in Highlands. I'm still not sure how we talked the hotel into opening the tasting to us non-hotel guests, but we were thankful and the boys loved the free whiskey.

| hiking |
After all of our eating, we attempted to be active with a hike up Whiteside Mountain. I can't say I am in the best hiking shape, but the views (and friends) made the climb worth the trip.

shopping in highlands / pj quadruplets / out to dinner / hiking
I couldn't help but post this collage of "girl pictures." We laughed all weekend that we must all be friends - we kept showing up in almost identical outfits (including the pjs featured in this post.) Great minds think alike ladies! In all seriousness though, I am so thankful for all of you- the last three (and two KK) years would have been a much different adventure without each of you. Love you all!
Last, I have to leave you with this picture of our mountain pup. He was so happy to spend some time in the mountains and let his ears fly free! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
