Weekend Getaway with Mom

Sorry for my absence in blog land.  I have been meaning to post this all week but just didn't have the time to get the post together...better late than never.

Mom always loves taking a weekend at least once a year to spend with me and my sister.  Sometimes we do them together, and sometimes we do them separately.  Hillary was able to escape to the beach back in January for a small getaway so mom and I started throwing out dates to figure out a weekend that would work for the two of us.  We ended up choosing last weekend and we even took Friday off from work.  Let me just say, it was pure bliss to have a day off at the beach. 

We left Thursday evening after work and we took Hank with us for the weekend.  It rained all night Thursday night and there is nothing better than sleeping at the beach to the sound of rain.  The only downside was having to walk a dog in the rain.  I didn't have Crawford there to nudge and beg to take him out.  It was just me and that part sucked.  The forecast called for rain all day on Friday and only a high of 55.  WRONG! It cleared up around 10 am and it probably got up to about 70-75 that day.  It was GORGEOUS!! We spent the day relaxing, walking, catching up on life, and ended the day by doing some shopping in Morehead.

Saturday we slept in and did nothing majority of the day.  Mom asked what I wanted to do and I told her I had been dying to see the new Cinderella movie.  So that is exactly what we did.  If you follow me on Facebook, you probably saw the status I put up.

We ended the night by eating at Rucker Johns and it was delicious.  On Sunday, we didn't do much but sit around and relax before having to pack up and come home.  It was definitely a wonderful weekend filled with many great laughs and talks.  It was my first time being away from Crawford since we got married and while it was probably needed, I definitely missed him.  

On the way home from the beach, we picked up this gorgeous beauty from my favorite 5thandSmith ladies.  

Isn't she a beauty? 

I hope you all have been enjoying your week and are exciting for the upcoming weekend. I know I sure am!!

PS. GO DUKE!!!!

Netflix Favorites

Four words. Thank God for Netflix! I am not sure why we even have cable anymore.  All I do is watch Netflix and occasionally Hulu.  If ESPN could be on Netflix, then we would for sure get rid of cable but the hubs needs his sports.  Since I graduated from college, I have watched tons and tons of TV shows.  Today I am going to recap my favorites.

|ONE| REVENGE

I LOVE Revenge.  If you are looking for a show that grabs your attention right from the start and is filled with lots of drama, this is the show for you.  Even Crawford loves it.  It is full of twists and turns and will have you trying to guess what will happen next but it is IMPOSSIBLE to guess what happens next.  

|TWO| The Blacklist

Crawford randomly selected this show a few weeks ago and within one week, we had watched all of the episodes available on Netflix.  Crawford always lets me watch shows even when he is not home and says he will just figure out what he missed on the recaps before each episode.  Not with this one.  I had to wait for him for every single episode.  It is THAT good.  If you are looking for a show that deals with crime and suspense with a little bit of mystery, this is the show for you.

|THREE| Scandal

I'm sure you have heard tons of people talking about this one.  All of my coworkers talk about this one just about every Thursday so I finally decided to see what all the rave was about.  I was definitely hooked on this one from the beginning as well.  I love politics and throw in a juicy love triangle as well as crime solving and you have yourself the perfect show.  

|FOUR| Pretty Little Liars

Yes, this is my girly "go-to" show.  This one is mysterious and has you constantly trying to guess who "A" is while also being engulfed in the many different love affairs.  Crawford likes this one too so I am not sure how girly this one truly is but I love it.  My only complaint is I feel like they have drawn out some of the episodes with too many twists but at the same time, it leaves me guessing.  And no, I have not read the book nor do I keep up with the live broadcast so I do not know who A is.  Don't spoil it! :)

|FIVE| Parenthood

We are currently watching this show.  I love it because it is an easy show to watch and I love the family dynamic.  I feel like it plays out every single scenario a family/parent goes through at some point in life.  It also shows that every family will go through trials but at the end of the day, they're your family and thats sometimes all you have.  LOVE IT!

Some of our other favorites are Prison Break, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Nashville, Hart of Dixie, and Gossip Girl.

Next on my list: Greys Anatomy
