Well hello. What’s been happening with your week? Mine has been long. It’s had ups and downs, but also in-betweens this time. I keep thinking we’re halfway through April but then come to find it’s the first day of spring. In honor of the new season, all three listed will feature something NEW.
1. I have embraced a new hobby. After a little prodding and some instructions from a friend, I have taken up cross stitch. I picked up a pattern at a craft store, and let me tell you, those things are doozies…I will surely make my next purchase on etsy and aim for something slightly less cheesy. Other than that, I like it. It’s nice to do make something with your hands. I went through a knitting phase before moving but cannot possibly knit another scarf in this climate, it’s just not worth it. This is a good alternative. Here’s what I’ve got so far (good luck guessing what it is).
2. We tried out a new dinner spot. After a day of freezing rain and ice, we had a commitment cancel, leaving us with an impromptu date night. We went to The Flying Biscuit to finally try southern grits and loved every bite. I also had the best salmon scrambled eggs that have ever been served. I never actually took a picture of the food (it was too good to photograph), but here’s a little photo to commemorate the table we sat at. We were glad for a night out when most of the town was taking shelter from the storm.
3. We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with our friends and their new baby! Saturday was a gloriously sunny (albeit windy) day, so we walked down to the parade with our couch surfer in tow (oh, didn’t know about him? I promise to blog about it at some point). We met up with friends from church and their little baby boy who was a whopping 13 days old at the time! So tiny and so cute. Their daughter is pretty adorable as well…and clearly loves hot dogs. Also on Saturday—reading a book in the sunshine and a bonfire with friends. It was easily the best day of the week.
