An Uneventful Weekend

This weekend was pretty uneventful, which considering the craziness that has been our life, that’s a good thing.

My parents were in town, so we made the best of the time we had.  My dad and I kicked off Saturday by taking Hunter to the dog park while my mom and Chris stayed home and took it easy.  Hunter loved the park as always, and ran, ran, ran for a good 30 minutes.  As soon as we left the park, this happened:

The sight of success!

After exhausting the dog, we dropped him off at the apartment and headed to Verizon to upgrade my phone.  I’ve had the same droid for over two years and it’s starting to crap out, so it was time.  I contemplated the iPhone, but I have loved my droid so much that I stuck with it and picked the Samsung Galaxy S III.  I LOVE it.

After the upgrade, we went back home to grab Chris, and my two favorite guys went and got their haircut.  Minor, I know, but I know it made Chris feel better.  :)

This morning, my mom decided that she was going to go home with my dad instead of staying for the week as planned.  With her recent leukemia diagnosis and some swollen lympnodes, she wanted to err on the side of caution and try to see her oncologist this week, so she headed back with my dad this afternoon.

Before my parents left, we had a fantastic lunch at a new place called Burger Fi.  If you live anywhere near Cary, you must try this place.  The burgers are incredible and the onion rings are some of the best I’ve ever had.  We will definitely go back.

The rest of our evening is going to be pretty low key.   I just hooked up Chris’ IV, so we’re doing his antibiotics right now, then I’m making some turkey tacos and we’re going to relax.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Sunshine Funshine

After work today, I desperately needed some sunshine in my life.  Walking to the building next door to get lunch doesn’t count, so I was psyched to check out one of the Cary Greenways this afternoon.  Where I come from, a Greenway is a $5 toll road filled with cars, but here, it’s a bajillion paths that intersect and go all over town.  Today was the perfect day to check it out  – no clouds in the sky, an amazing 60 something degrees, and tons and tons of sunshine.

I walked for about 30 minutes and have no idea how far I went.  I tried to stick to trails where I knew I could find my way back so I didn’t really have a good gauge of distance.  Not to mention I totally didn’t look at a map, but whatevs.  Check out my route and amazing microsoft paint skills:

I liked this little walk, even if it was short.  Next time, I’m definitely going to read a map so I know where I’m going, but it was fun, the scenery was pretty and I thoroughly enjoyed being outside.

Hooray Spring!
