Over The Weekend

This weekend was a whirlwind, but I sure did enjoy it! It was spent with our best friends Justine and Taylor. As you know, Friday was spent having a barbeque. Saturday consisted of getting things ready for the week like cleaning, grocery shopping, and spending quality time with the hubby.

On Sunday, I met up with Justine once again and we took a trip to IKEA. I racked out with two great pieces. Gregg and I needed a shelf to hold all our movies. We are racking up and need a way to keep them organized. So, I ended up with this shelf. I love it! Its great for our movies, and later in life I can add some baskets and put odds and ends in them if I am tired of the movie feel.

I also got a new down comforter since the one I had got ruined. The feathers inside did not dry all the way when it got washed and it started to smell moldy. So, I went out and got another one! I also got a duvet cover to put it in so it won't get dirty so fast. Isn't it gorgeous? I'm talking about the gray swirly part, by the way....

The night was spent ordering pizza and playing drinking games. It was a night filled with laughs and making memories. Gregg and I have some great friends, and I seriously don't know what we are going to do when it comes time to seperate in our near future.

On Monday, Justine and I got tired of sitting around at the house all the time. So, we made the boys get up and take us to the winery. It was a goegeous day to be out and about. The air was a little chilly, but the sun helped keep me a tad bit warm. The day also gave me a chance to wear my new boots with my black skinny's. Oh, I love fall! Anyways, here is a picture of us two after enjoying asiago cheese, green olives, speck, and vino!

After the winery, we decided to go out to dinner. I showed all of the them this great Italian place I found a couple of months ago...Al Company. Gregg ordered a steak that cost 20 euro...so, he was a happy camper and I had Spaghetti with Duck Sauce. This was the first night I have ever had duck. Since living in Italy, I have come to experience a lot of different animals. Since I have been here, I have tried Fish eggs, Octopus, Duck, Rabbit, Lamb, and Horse. Sometimes I knew what I was getting and other times I didn't. The next two animals here I have not experienced is Emu and Alligator...I don't know if those two will happen..Eww. Anyways, back to dinner...it tasted great and got raves all around. It was a great way to celebrate Christopher Columbus day!

I noticed I missed Top 2 Tuesday and Tuesday's List and I am very sorry. I really don't have a favorite room or too many crock pot recipes, but I do plan on reading everyone's responses like I always do!

Right now, I am getting ready for my cleaning spree and about to sign up for new classes! I think I am going to hit on two psychology classes this time so I can get them out of the way. It seems like these gen-ed classes are getting old and I need a break. Hopefully, I can hop into two great classes next time and pass with flying colors.
