Out on the Farm

A couple weekends ago I met two of my very best friends in northern Alabama for a little trip to the farm. Sarah Beth's family own two houses on a ton of land... 80 acres! It took me about 3.5 hours to get there and man, I haven't driven on those kind of country roads in a long time... darkness + curvy back roads + my driving skills = not my thing so much. But Sadie and I arrived safely and were so excited to start our relaxing weekend at the farm! The weekend consisted of lots of rain so we were cooped up most of the time which was fine with me. Although Cam brought quite the gun collection, there was no shooting to be had because of all the rain, but he did give us all a gun safety lesson. Thanks Cam! It was probably a good thing we didn't go out and shoot since we already cracked open a couple bottles of wine by mid-afternoon. What else is there to do on a rainy day at the farm? And that was exactly what I had in mind... lots of girl talk... I mean LOTS of girls talk (sorry Cam), lots of wine, and lots of board games. Unfortunately for SB's mom we did not get around to karaoke which she was dying to play at any hour of the day. Overall it was definitely a fun little get away and hopefully we can find a weekend to go back in the summertime! I even got to meet my parents for lunch on the way home in Athens. It was good to see them too!

They bought me a belated birthday cookie cake :)

Nothing like starting a fire to warm you up on a cold day at the farm
A fireplace is definitely on our list of things we want in our first home! I'm really hoping we won't have to compromise on this!

These two could have done this all day long (if it didn't rain)

And they're still going...

Mexican train! I love learning new games!

I miss these two girls so so much!! I still hoping we'll all live in the same city one day... :)
