Jam-Packed Weekend O'Fun

R and I had such a fun, full weekend. It really was a blast to spend time with friends and family and to just enjoy things around Greenville.

Friday night, we met some friends at an awesome joint called Brown Street Club. We started out with 8, but by the end of the night our crew expanded to 12!! We got drinks on the house because of Elaine and David having connections. We had a great dinner and fun time listening to the jazz being played. We laughed, moved to the music and had some good conversation. Ryan and I were the old people who left first :( We felt bad about it but we were just super tired. The rest of the group went clubbing and stayed out until 2 am!!! Here are some pictures of the occasion:

Nathan and Ryan thought this was a "good" look....not too sure about that...

Saturday, we went to breakfast and to the farmer's market downtown with Matt, Britt, Cory and Ashley. We discovered a great little nook of a breakfast place we hadn't been to, Sobys on the Side. It was great and INEXPENSIVE, which is a good find these days.

After breakfast, Ryan, Cory, Scout and I went hiking at a great trail near Saluda called Little Bradley Falls. We hiked to a waterfall and it was beautiful. Scout had a BLAST!!! He was running all over the place and jumping in every last pool of water he could find...good thing there were not a ton of people out that afternoon so he could just run wild. Only bad part was that I had to share the backseat with my hairy and dirty lab. But, he laid his head on my lap for most of the ride home which was super sweet. Another bad part was when we thought we heard a bear on the trail and Cory basically pulled a limb off a tree getting ready to fight it. But, we did not see one.....PTL!!


Saturday night, we headed to Anderson to see Brooks and Lindsay. We went out to eat at a cute little spot in downtown Anderson called SummaJoes. We hadn't spent time with them since they got married, so it was fun to see them.

Sunday, we had to run a whopping NINE miles before church. Surprisingly, we had perfect weather and the run was not that bad. Almost enjoyable even! Then, we went to church.

Sunday night, we went to the last showing of West Side Story at the Peace Center. Very tragic story, which I had no idea of before we went, but the music was beautiful and we felt very cultured after the experience.


Such a great, great weekend full of laughs, good times, adventure and culture!!!!

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Vacay to the BVI

Ryan and I went for a vacation a couple of weeks ago to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Our anniversary is not until August, but sometimes, things get crazy in the summer. So, we decided to take an early trip in April. We went to Biras Creek in Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. It was gorgeous!!! The only bad part was that it went by WAY TOO fast!!! The place was beautiful, quiet and so relaxing. I finally read The Hunger Games and so did Ryan. We enjoyed amazing meals that were prepared for us three times daily, blue skies and even bluer water, and some quality time with each other. It was such a blessing and came at a perfect time. Such a great opportunity to take a moment to stop and remember how much we love one another. Our favorite experience was snorkeling with a guy named Wayne from the resort. He took us to a few different reefs in the middle of the Caribbean ocean and we would jump off the boat and snorkel. It is amazing how many different colors or coral...
