Why am I biased about October being the greatest month of the year?
Well there's this:
And this:
And lots of these:
It has been a fantastic month thus far... Because of that, this "weekend recap" is just a couple days late, so bear with me - ok?
Friday:
We went out with friends of ours to go see Zac Brown Band perform.
Oh
my
wonderfulness.
We were in the pit and so close that it felt like Zac + co. were performing just for us. The concert was only my 3rd to date (3rd ever concert, that is) and it was phenomenal! I'd love to have them back again sometime soon - I'd be there in a heartbeat!
(Wax lip fun before heading out - got them as one of Nick's 25 presents for his 25th birthday)
The crew
Being this is shot from a 5'2" angle it's hard to really tell, but we had fabulous "seats" :)
Saturday:
Saturday we made an impromptu visit up to PA to visit Nick's family & continue our birthday weekend celebrations. We went out to dinner at our favorite Albanian Italian restaurant, and stayed up playing a round of cards. It was simply beautiful - the leaves are in full-throttle gorgeousness, and the weather had a beautiful warm but cool feel to it. We stopped up at a farm to pick up fresh apples and honestly picked out the crispest, most flavorful ones I've ever tasted :) mm mmm good!
Sunday/Monday/Etc.:
