Weekend at Mir's

Friday was Mir’s birthday. I purposely didn’t do a blog post about her then, because I knew that I was going to her house for the weekend. I wanted to wait and share our adventures. Unfortunately, there are no pics to memorialize our time together, but that’s ok.

I decided, pretty last minute, to head up to Raleigh for the weekend since Mike would be gone on Mir’s birthday this year. I sure hated to think that she would party alone, and let’s be honest, who better to party with than ME (if it can’t be your husband!)?!

She spent Friday morning having a leisurely late breakfast with our aunt and uncle. I got there about dinner time, and we headed out to Brixx Pizza. It was so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy our dinner. {I am LOVING this weather!!} Might I suggest the Rustica pizza if you are every at Brixx?! It was YUMMY!! Mir had gotten a coupon for a free cup of yogurt at Yogurt Mountain. We sure hated to let it go to waste, so off to Yogurt Mountain we went! Again, we were able to sit outside and enjoy our ice cream and a nice long chat. We decided to head on back to the house and chill since we were going to have an early (well, early for a Saturday) morning. We got home just in time to see the end of the Duke game – WOW!! Was everyone else as shocked as we were?!?

Saturday morning we got up early-ish, packed up, and headed to Mike’s parents’ lake house for the night. We got there just in time to unpack and enjoy our lunch out on the deck. We were able to catch a few rays before the clouds rolled in. It was so nice to be out in the sun, chatting and doing some reading. When the dark clouds moved in, we went back up to the house for some homemade BBQ pizza and a movie. We had rented J.Edgar on the way out of town. Don’t know how many of you have seen it, but it was pretty good. I will say there was some history about him that I learned from that movie that never made it into the history books I studied. I won’t ruin it for you in case you haven’t seen it, but I’ll definitely say I was surprised!

Unfortunately, I started feeling pretty puny Saturday night, and it carried over into Sunday. I know I wasn’t much fun on Sunday, and that makes me sad. I wish we could have done more fun stuff before I headed back home, but I wasn’t feeling up to it.

It was so nice to be able to spend some time together. I am thankful that both of my sisters are close enough to visit for the weekend.

All three of us sisters. Yes, Mir is the OLDEST!!
