Well this past weekend was interesting.
Friday we celebrated our dear friend Mario's birthday. It was sort of a surprise. Haha. I made a cookie/brownie mixture for him in a springform pan. But I forgot the candles and the icing to write Happy Birthday. Geez. Fail. It was a fun evening.
Saturday could have started well. Joe and I went out to Cherokee park to run trails, and just as we hitting our stride, feeling good, I totally bit it. Hard. I hit a little stump with my left foot and went down, sliding quite a ways. I bashed up my knee, ripped open my hand and acquired quite a few beautiful scratches on my right arm and leg. We had to stop running and get me cleaned up. :(
Unable to use my right hand, I couldn't make our blueberry dumpling cobbler midmorning breakfast number two. Joe took over and did a mighty fine job! The recipe is extremely easy to follow, and assuming you already have your chosen flour ground, doesn't take long at all! And holy cow is it delicious.
After that, we met our friend Kyle who is in charge of distilling over at Michter's for a private tour and tasting. Michter's makes some mighty fine bourbon, at least that's what I'm told by people who like bourbon. I just can't handle it. What an exciting opportunity for our friend though! He loves it!
After that, we started getting ready to go take our engagement pictures (finally!). Our photographer is Lauren Smith, and she is just wonderful. We went to Bernheim Arboretum and had a lot of fun. Joe and I had two outfit changes. I did my hair really pretty and it totally exploded after one walk across the field, haha. We'll see how that looks. We had some really dramatic clouds that evening and we both looked pretty good. I can't wait to see how they turn out, I'm a little anxious!
After our pictures were done, Joe surprised me with a brand new Nikon D5100 and a Saddleback camera bag. This is my/our wedding gift, but I had no idea!
On Sunday we met with the music coordinator at the church and got our music all set up! Then we spent the afternoon at the park, sippin' orange cream sodas, playing with the new camera, and dreaming about our house and travel and dogs.
Then we had to say goodbye. But we're one week closer!
