A Long, Lovely Labor Day!

I am loving this Labor Day weekend!  It's Jeff's and my first LD together in a long time (maybe ever).  It's so nice to spend some time with him without the immediate pressure of going back to school and work!  That pressure has been on us both recently!

We are also so lucky to have awesome visitors for the weekend!  One of my favorite and oldest friends, Todd, came to see us this weekend, and that has made it one of the best weekends I've had in a while!  I think Jeff would feel the same.

While Jeff was working Saturday (it's a part of his new work schedule), Todd and I visited a lovely winery in Intercourse, PA (please hold your comments...that's really the name!).  We got a chance to taste some awesome wine, and even picked up a few bottles for later!  When Jeff got home, we visited Shannon and Kevin for their Labor Day festivities, and I must say, they throw one heck of a bash!  Food, fun, and friends galore made our short, sweet visit one to remember!  Thanks so much Shannie and Kev for opening your home so warmly to us.  We had a great time!

We rounded out Saturday with a trip to Iron Hill Brewery (which, favorite ladies of my bachelorette days, was where we went for my bach. dinner!).  We enjoyed beverages and had a lovely meal!  We're looking forward to our double date with the Paules' in November!

Finally, we were surprised and happy when Jeff's brother (and one of my two brothers-in-law), Justin, came up to visit us!  We took our visiting men to the Lancaster Barnstormers game, and had a GREAT time!  I saw a few of my students and their parents (which shouldn't have been surprising, since it was "readers' night" at the Barnstormers game), and SURPRISE!  There were also fireworks, which I was so thrilled about, since we were so busy with the wedding that I missed the Fourth of July altogether! 

All in all, it's been a great weekend, and has left me in a great mood as I head back to school on TUESDAY!  Still one more day off to go.  What could be better!
