While I spent most of my time relaxing on the couch the last time we had a weekend off, this past weekend looked a little different! One of my best friends had her bachelorette party Friday night, so we headed down to Lawrenceville for a wine and painting party at Paint Monkey! I had such a blast and am already excited to do it again soon with Mike! After that, us girls headed down to Station Square for some dessert at the Melting Pot (always a fabulous choice)! It was such a fun night celebrating my sweet friend and hanging out with all those lovely ladies! I can’t believe her wedding is less than 3 weeks away already!

Saturday rolled around, and Mike and I were so excited to not have to set any alarm clocks (although we were still up at 8:30…stupid internal clocks! Haha). We headed down to the Pitt football game Saturday morning, and while it was a pretty tough game to watch, it was nice to finally use our season tickets this year! Later that evening, we went out to Fat Head’s for dinner with my parents for Mike’s birthday! Don’t you just love when birthday celebrations last a full week?! We sure do!

And to wrap up our weekend, Mike and I went to Ten Penny after church for a delicious brunch downtown before heading to Heinz Hall for Book of Mormon. Another wonderful “date day” with my mister…we’ve been missing those lately! Our weekend officially came to an end after photographing an engagement session downtown for my cousin and his fiance, Valerie, and heading to dinner at the always delicious Il Pizzaiolo in Market Square. While this weekend was indeed “busy” for us, it was filled with so many fun and exciting things, and it was nice to have a “wedding-free weekend” before we start things up again and finish up this 2014 wedding season!
