Beautiful Saturday in February.

 We have had a great weekend.  Friday night I watched the movie The Vow with some of my girlfriends and we grabbed some yogurt after the movie. Dane visited his friend Zach at the coffee shop where Zach works in Raleigh.

Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with highs in upper 60s. We ate breakfast with some wonderful friends at 10:30 at our favorite Durham restaurant. Foster's Market. The owner, Sara, writes cookbooks. We bought Angie a cookbook for Christmas because we love the food so much and we thought the Womacks would enjoy trying out the recipes.

 One of the great things about Foster's is that they have an entire front yard area with picnic tables and adirondack chairs. The weather was so warm that I took my jacket off.

 More of the front porch area.

Our friends Mike and Vail brought their sweet dog Topper out for the morning. He got lots of attention and even got to mingle with the other dogs. 

After brunch we headed to Target to get the groceries. We made it home around 3 pm and we decided that the weather was so nice that we should head out to the tennis court. I haven't played tennis in a very long time. It was hard to get back into the swing, but it was fun. We discovered that we needed new tennis balls so we ended up buying some last night after dinner. After playing tennis, we took a walk around West campus. There are great old houses that have been restored surrounding west campus. I had never walked the path and it turned out to be very interesting.

For dinner we went to Red Lobster to spend our gift cards that my parents got us for Christmas and my sister got us for our anniversary. Yum. We even had the stuffed mushrooms for appetizers. Nice. ;) After dinner we watched THREE episodes of our favorite show - Friday Night Lights. We are now on the 5th and final season. I am going to be so sad when the show is over. I'm glad that our friends Merritt and Adam got us hooked.

This morning we went to New Creation UMC for church. It really does feel like our new church home now. I am thankful for that. Part of the service is in Spanish so we are learning a little Spanish too. One of the songs that we always sing is really beautiful and it ends with Danos La Paz which means "Grant us Thy peace." We have spent the rest of the day taking a nap, cleaning the bathroom (Dane!), and working on gathering up our tax information while watching the Duke vs. Boston College game.

We are very excited that we are headed home to Arkansas in TWO WEEKS. We are driving from NC and stopping in Nashville to pick up my sister who has Spring Break the same week!! :) We also found out this weekend that Corey is coming home too!!! I cannot wait to spend some much needed time with our family and friends.

Here's to a much needed weekend of fun!
