Asheville and the Third Trimester

Adam and I spent last weekend in Asheville as a getaway for just the two of us. We had a great time relaxing and checking out the Biltmore. The Biltmore is quite impressive and really an awesome place to see. And, we knew our friends Matthew and Emily were going to be in Asheville last weekend too, but we never thought we'd run into them at the Biltmore of all places! It was a fun time eating TONS of really great food (the food nerds in us couldn't get enough of the unique foods we had in Asheville)! A few highlights of our cuisine included: Rosemary peach lemonade, tupelo honey on fresh biscuits, Adam's Beer Ice Cream Float, hot chocolate with maple and smoked sea salt, and a multitude of yumminess at our Sunday Brunch at the Grove Park Inn.

Matthew and Emily....they are having a boy too!

Time is flying by fast as I have started the third trimester! Fortunately, I have all of my fabric for his nursery and need to get going on my sewing machine! We also were lucky enough to get another ultrasounds to see our little boy today from a friend. He is so cute and we are loving his chubby cheeks! Check out more of those pictures here.

28 weeks and still feeling good!

He's so adorable...

Hope you are all doing well! We miss all of you who are far away!!!

Random Fact from Adam: "According to Reason, there were only 44 American breweries in 1979. Now, there are 1,463 breweries, including 975 brewpubs. The spark: legislation signed by Southern Baptist President Jimmy Carter. By point of comparison, in 1872, there were 3,421 commercial breweries in America, or roughly 17 times as many per capita as there are now."

House Warming Party

After getting all of our pictures hung and boxes unpacked, we had some friends over last night for a house warming party. It was so great to use all my fun hostess servingware and cook up a storm. We had plenty of food and friends and even great weather. It has been warming up here in NC where we got to enjoy the deck this weekend! Hope you all are doing well!

The tour of our house

I know many of you have been asking to see the inside of our house, so here we go with some pictures! We finally got things more or less where we would like them, curtains are up, and the pictures are hung on the wall. We have our official house warming party next weekend, so it will be great to have friends over in the new place! Click HERE to see the pictures! I realized I didn't take a picture of the laundry room, but we do have one and it has your usual washer/dryer in there...Enjoy the tour! Hope you all have had a great weekend!

Random Fact from Adam: "The fact is, 99.23 per cent of the water on earth is not usable by humans unless something is done to it first," said Dr. Mark Shannon, director of the U.S. National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center for Advanced Materials for the Purification of Water Systems. "And, the remaining 0.77 per cent is currently being contaminated."
