last weekend was fabulous!
it all started on Friday when I met up with Starla and Beth at Chili's for lunch. one of my favorite places for lunch! reminds me of when me and little grams would go for lunch there.
after lunch we headed to a winery close to my house. it's called Pieper Porch Winery and Vineyard.
they give you 5 free tastes, so we each started with that. Starla and I decided to pay the $5 for 5 more tastings and a wine glass.
the wine was VERY good. it made it a fun experience because the owner of the winery was the one giving us the tasting and she gave us a lot of background info on the wines.
my favorite wines were the lime wine and the riesling. i had never heard of a lime wine until going there, and it was really good. tastes like a margarita!
unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us so we weren't able to hang there and drink after on the porch. we went back to my house and had wine in some fancy wine glasses that Beth got us for the tasting :)
after taking a much needed nap (wine always makes me so tired!), i headed to my mom's to meet her. we headed over to her friends for a norwex party.
i had heard of norwex a few times before going to this party, but didn't understand it and wanted to see what all the hype was about.
it was amazing! the demos and personal stories made it sound like it does magic! i had read a few reviews on some of their products on blogs before so i ordered a few things. can't wait to get them to give them a try! hoping they really are as great as they seem!
saturday was puppy playdate day! we get together once a month with our friend's who have two boston's and let them all play.
they came over to our house this time. their female, Maddie, didn't really love Vito, our foster, when we brought him over to their house. we thought maybe they would hit it off better on our territory, rather than hers. unfortunately, she still didn't love him, but at least she didn't attack him!
we had pizza for dinner and celebrated Maddie's birthday! they brought over an angel food cake so that the dogs could each have a little of it too. they were so happy! they also brought over some bones to chew which unfortunately ended up in a lot of spit up. oh well! the dogs seemed very happy!
sunday morning was a great time at church! they had a special guest speaker come, Michael Franzese. he was a former mob leader and was the only one would made it out without dying or ending up in jail for life. he was an amazing speaker and had some amazing stories to share.

relaxing weekend
This weekend was pretty mellow, compared to what we are used to! On Friday, Mark got me some VERY pretty flowers (normally I'm not a huge fan of getting flowers) and a card for Sweetest Day (a day early). It was so sweet of him :)
Saturday, we got up in the morning and when I went to make my cup of tea I realized that my fake Keurig had broken :( Sad story! So I had told Mark that if it ever broke I was going to get the real deal. And that's exactly what I did! Once I got it home and working, we had fun trying some of the variety pack (although neither of us actually drink coffee! Ha!). I think Mark ended up liking as much as me!
Saturday night we did puppy play date with Jake and Penny (and of course Jett and Maddie too). We had pizza for dinner, and I made some pumpkin bars too. It was my first time making them, they were less sugar than usual, and they turned out amazing! We took a nice walk in the beautiful fall weather (even though it was a little chilly) and the dogs really enjoyed it. They looked so adorable in their fall sweaters :)
Sunday we went to church in the morning and then I went to an eye exam while Mark went to work on the house. It was nice to visit with my friends (old coworkers). And then I went to see how the house was doing. Mark is working on the rough-in electrical. The plumbing was already OK'd by inspection. We need to get the doors installed so Mark can finish the electrical (don't want all the wires stolen). And one wall still needs to get moved. As soon as that's all done, the drywall can go up! I can't wait for that!! It'll really look like a place we can live in then. Hopefully only about a week or two before that happens. In the meantime, the siding will be going up sometime this week!
