Weekend Recap: It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This

I don't know if it was because it was the first completely free weekend we've had in 6 months, or the fact that it was a 3 day weekend, or maybe it was because we kicked off the weekend with Valentine's Day, but this was one of the most fun weekends we've had in a while. I won't bore you with a lot of words, I am going to let the pictures do the talking.

Just like the Rascal Flatts' Song....my favorite view is my backporch lookin in.  Nothing warms my heart more than to see our back porch full of friends having a good time.  

1. Eric surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses at work on Friday.  He's such a sweetheart!
2. I wasn't about to leave those beauties at work so I seat belted them into my car for the ride home.
3. My Valentine for Eric.  The hearts say "Will you Beer my Valentine?"  Thank you Pinterest for the idea.
4. For Valentine's Dinner we had Goat Cheese Pizza cooked on the Big Green Egg.
5. I mentioned before how people give Eric random appliances they don't want any more. This week it was a drink beer cooler that has found a home on the back porch.
6. Saturday night (late night) was spent playing a little pool.
7. My Sunday church outfit.
8. Our wrestling team won the state championship this weekend in amazing fashion. They had 6 wrestlers in the championship match for their respective weight classes and ALL 6 of them won, securing the first state championship (in anything) in 16 years for our town. We didn't go to the meet, but one of the restaurants in town stayed open late Saturday night for a victory party for the team.  Lots of people came out to congratulate all of the guys and the coaches. The wrestling program means so much to Eric and he was so proud of the guys!
9. Since I was off yesterday I cooked dinner...a delicious Balsamic Pot Roast with Fingerling Potatoes and Asparagus.

The boys loved their Valentine's Day bones!

 This was what our Sunday afternoon looked like.  It was a beautiful day and we spent all afternoon outside enjoying it in the most country way we could think of!

1. Donkey!  I wanted to pet it, but was advised not to.
2. Sunsets like this remind me how amazing it is to live out in the country.  You don't see sights like this in the big city!
3.  I am apparently a skeet shooting extraordinaire.  This was my 2nd or 3rd time skeet shooting and I bet I hit half of the clays.  I can't get too good or he won't let me go any more!
4. When you get really good a shooting while stationary you have to make things interesting be shooting off the back of a [slowly] moving 4 wheeler.
5. Shooting blind....the clay launcher is behind him on his left.
6. Country boys on a Sunday afternoon skeet shoot.
7. There's nothing better than riding through  the woods on the back of a 4 wheeler with the one you love. 

 And that's how you do a weekend in the South.  I would say that it's going to be pretty hard to top it this coming weekend, but there's a good chance we will! =)
