craft beer festivals, family time, and aunt julia duty.

whoa, whoa, whoa. talk about the longest weekend in weekend history right there.
i left work friday at 5pm and just now got back in the office bright and early this morning at 8am.
it's funny how i was actually kind of relieved to be coming back in.
call me crazy, but i get to where i actually enjoy being on a schedule...

my weekend included a lot. and i mean a lot.
to be honest it actually took me a minute to remember everything i did and which day it fell on...
friday didn't entail much. M and i went to dinner in asheville and then came home and watched a movie.
i love nights like this! especially after a long work week!

saturday a bunch of girlfriends and myself attended our town's 1st annual craft beer fest, which was an absolute blast!
our little town did a great job putting this together. there were over 20 different, local breweries there...

 

and even though most of the day was spent in a carolina poncho because of the pouring rain...
we still somehow made the best of it!

sunday i went home and got to spend time with my little brother.
we had a little sibling date including mexican and a movie.

ps ya'll... if you have not seen we are the millers yet then i suggest you get on that pronto!! it was by far the funniest movie i have ever seen! i'm talking the hangover times ten- that funny!

monday and tuesday were spent babysitting my 4 precious nieces.
their mom and dad (my sister and brother in law) are celebrating 10 awesome years of marriage in NYC, so all of the family has taken turns watching the girls... and monday and tuesday were my turn!

even though i am down right exhausted this morning... those girls were so good for me. my sister and her husband have done such a great job raising them to be kind, respectful, and overall good kids. i was actually really sad to leave them last night and come back home.
but then again i was super excited to sleep in my own bed. in the peace and quiet...
