So, here I go again being an awful blogger, what's new. I am not even really sure where to start, so I'll just recap the last couple weeks. Between both of our schedules, we have been incredibly busy. Not to mention the upcoming wedding, holidays, travel plans, etc., etc. Where do I begin? I guess I will start with our most exciting recent plans the last weekend of October. Chris and I, and our friends Brandon and Tricia, headed to Atlanta to meet my brother and his girlfriend to celebrate the closing weekend of Oktoberfest at Der Biergarten downtown. It was an absolute blast. We had lots of great beer, listened to the authentic band, and even ordered pretzels with an amazing mustard assortment. From there, we wandered around Atlanta, hitting a couple more bars before calling it a night. It was definitely a night to remember (and naps were needed all around the next day).
We also got to celebrate Halloween together for the first time in years! We stayed in for the night, handed out candy and enjoyed some craft beers. This past Friday night, we did try a new restaurant: B. Merrell's here in Columbus. It was great. We had great food, and the beer selection was awesome! It was definitely a local hangout, which made it all the more endearing.
Other than that, Chris has been trying to survive school, we've both been enjoying the change of weather, and we're both getting very excited for the upcoming holiday season! Stay tuned for more!
Adventures with My Best Friend - Our Weekly Surprise Dates

Playing catch up...
Okay, so the last two weeks haven't really been that exciting (sorry!!). We had grandiose plans for super fun date nights, which all seemed to get passed by due to hangovers, injuries, and lots of work (no excuses, we know). The weekend before last, we did something of a group date night on Friday by going to Balloo's here in Columbus. Balloo's is a cigar bar, and has a really awesome atmosphere. We loved going there when we were here last time. We met up with a group of friends, mostly guys from Chris' class, and checked out a couple other bars in Uptown that night. Needless to say, Saturday was something of a wash. We finally pried ourselves out of the house to go see a movie here on post late at night. Per my brother's recommendation, we checked out "Prisoners." It was awesome! It kind of turned out to be one of those movies you think about for awhile afterwards, and we were still talking about it the next day.
Chris has been extra busy with school, and work has been hectic. We also have an awesome new group of friends that keep us busy on the weekends :) Chris managed to severely sprain the soft tissue in his right foot last week, so he is just now able to limp around without the support of crutches. I had some plans for a weekend date night, but due to Chris' immobility we were limited. We ended up heading to the brew pub here on post as a last minute decision to grab some dinner on Saturday night. We had a couple drinks and watched the Tigers play. We invited our friends Brandon and Trisha to meet up with us. We had a great time (such a great time in fact, that I think Chris forgot about the pain in his foot). It seems like we have a really awesome time, then need a day to recover. Nothing in moderation :)
This upcoming weekend is Columbus Day. Chris has a cushy four-day weekend, while I don't have any additional time off. We may just have something great planned, who knows!

A little bit of everything....again...
So this was my weekend. Friday night we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and ended up having a little too much fun. My real date night was supposed to happen Saturday morning, but we didn't get out of bed until 11. I don't know if it was the beer the night before, something I ate, or the change in the weather (or all of the aforementioned), but I was worthless most of Saturday. I ended up taking a nap until 3 in the afternoon. Chris decided to go fishing since I was out of it. I pulled myself out of the house and met him at King's Pond here on post and he even surprised me with Taco John's for lunch :)
About 30 minutes into fishing it started to downpour. We scrambled back to the vehicles and headed home. Once we got home we watched the MSU Spartans and the Tigers. Chris decided he wanted to "party" so I made a run to the shopette to get some snacks and beer. We finished out the night watching movies. The Sapphires was awesome, and The Place Beyond the Pines was really good too.
Today was a mix of sleeping in, cleaning the house, watching football, doing homework, talking with family, working on wedding flowers a little, and walking the dogs. I may have to make up for this with a mini-date sometime this week :)

Golf...and dinner...and hot air balloons...oh my!


side of the building so it was too crowded. Our waitress was adorable, we had great beer and the food was phenomenal. We even got to partake in some local college football on the bar televisions. I liked the place so much that I ended up buying a t-shirt. Once we got to the Jeep, I opened the bag to look at the short again and realized our waitress had thrown in free coozies and a piece of peanut butter pie for free! We will definitely be back!
From Hunter's, instead of heading back to Columbus, Chris started heading toward Callaway Gardens. I was a little confused but it was still light out and a great day to drive in the Jeep. Once we got to the entrance of the gardens I realized why we were there: a hot air balloon festival! It was awesome. There is something really magical about hot air balloons. Because of Chris' military status we got free entry into the park (awesome!). We found a parking spot and headed right down to the beach area to get drinks from the beach bar. They had live music going on, food trucks, games, and not to mention all of the hot air balloons everywhere. Right at dusk the Veteran Sky Diving team dropped in right over the lake and landed on the beach. That was pretty awesome too. By the time we got home we were pretty exhausted. It was a long day, but a great one. My turn this week!
