We went to West Virginia for the weekend to visit my parents and let Jack pretend that he’s a country dog:
He thinks he’ll probably be ready for the Olympics in 2012.
Car snacks on the way there on Friday:
And then a Panera Bread salad:
Can you call something a salad if it consists mostly of bread and cheese? I’m not so sure. This was kind of gross. I’m not used to fast food I guess. It was probably the first time I’ve been through a drive thru in a good two or three years. It was quickly followed by the second time – a stop at Dairy Queen for a peanut butter cup blizzard. No picture, sorry, but it was awesome as usual.
The rest of the weekend, I’d say 90% of my snacking consisted of fruit. Some of it was in this form:
And other times it was in this form:
They were amazing. Amazing.
As was this on the way home yesterday:
Chris surprised me with this at a gas station, because it’s my favorite candy bar. It was rather romantic, but not nearly as romantic as Friday night, when he asked me to marry him.
Yikes! I’m engaged.
yayayayayayayayayaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
CONGRATULATIONS!
