Obsessed

I love the camera!

We actually have 2 Rebels now, so it’ll be great! Nick and I will both be able to take pictures on vacations or when we go hiking or just everyday and not have to worry about sharing or passing the camera back and forth. It was fun playing with it last night.

OH, and I made Nick take a picture of me in my new boots this morning, too ;)

I apparently just woke up – it barely looks like my eyes are open!

We ended up changing our plans for today once we talked to Nick’s family last night.

We got up and left the house this morning at 7:30 to drive to Richmond so we could eat breakfast with Nick’s parents and sister and her husband.

Before we left this morning, I had an apple and Nick and I split this Clif bar.

We also made a pit stop on the way and I got a cup of coffee from Hardees, but it was disgusting! I only had 2 sips and decided I would wait for coffee at the restaurant.

We met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel and sat there for almost 2 hours! I know I’m lucky to have a family that gets along great…and I love it.

I don’t know what I would do if it wasn’t this way. I love being in the middle of this group when everyone is cracking jokes, telling stories, and laughing so hard they have tears in their eyes.

I had coffee + water to drink and a huge pancake breakfast!

I had their normal pancakes, but took the butter off so I could put my eggs on top ;) Seriously – if you like eggs, you need to try this.

Pancakes + over easy eggs + maple syrup = Perfection

I had some turkey sausage on the side and ate every. single. bite of this plate. This is basically breakfast AND lunch and I was starving by 10:30 when we ate.

After finishing brunch, we headed over to Short Pump and shopped for Nick’s sister for a bit. I don’t know how us girls have so much fun, but we do. We can’t quit pulling stuff off the racks to try on…it feels like we just take over the stores!

After we each spent some money, we headed back to the cars to say goodbye and we got on the road around 1 to head back home  :(  It was such a short trip, but so fun! I’m glad we got to see everyone.

I’m actually in the van right now writing this so  I can hit publish as soon as we get home – there’s a Hokie game on at 3:30!

    I am slightly bitter at how gorgeous you look in the morning. I don’t allow myself to be seen for at least 2 hours after waking up ;) It’s scary!

    p.s. love the new boots!

  8. What brand are your new boots? :)

  9. i would never think to put an over easy egg over pancakes like that, but it sure looks good! i love over easy eggs sooo much, especially when toast and you soak up all the yolk! Glad you had such a good day! :) oxoxx
