A Weekend With Lance, Is a Wonderful Weekend!

It's been a really long week and a really short weekend! At this point, I've been living for the weekends for two and a half years and it's getting pretty tiring! Lance got off of work at 3:30 on Friday, loaded up Finn and their bags and headed for Athens. When they got here, we played with Finn for a little while then got ready and went out to one of our favorite restaurants. Gnats Landing is a seafood joint here and in St. Simons that leaving you feeling like you've traveled to the beach!

I broke my no meat rule and ordered mahi-mahi blackened with sweet potato fries and veggies! Yummy!

Lance ordered shrimp and grits!


We both broke down and got some strong margaritas!

We love coming here and sitting outside (even if it was nearly 90 when we got there) because they always have some kind of live music on the weekends. There was a guy there playing great music from the 60 but also some recent stuff too!

On Saturday morning I woke up feeling under the weather from what I thought was the strong margaritas. I had a terrible headache all day and my eyes were really puffy. Now I'm pretty sure I was having an allergic reaction to some CVS eye makeup I purchased on Friday. Lance quickly reminded me "you get what you paid for" and I bought some new Clinic eye makeup today!

Even though I was feeling terrible, we still decided to take Finn for a walk at the Intramural Fields. We lost him for a split second but thankfully he was in a gated area and some other dog owners allowed him to play with their dog until Lance got there! We are terrible puppy parents!

After that we decided to run some errands and then we eventually got ready to go out to dinner. Lance and I have been eating Asian food lately and we decided to keep the trend going when we ate dinner downtown at Doc Chey's in Athens. After dinner we walked around and happened to stumble upon Athfest which is just a downtown festival with all types of booths where people sell different products and different bands perform. While we where there we heard Patterson Hood (previously known as Drive By Truckers) and they were awesome! We left after about an hour due to the fact that Lance and I lack tattoos, piercing, or an addiction to cigarettes! haha! It was still fun to hang out with some hippies for a little while!

This is from the beginning of the night. Lance and I parked in a parking lot well known by the Tifton crowd. Instead of having to walk all the way around the fence, Trip, one of our friends, decided to pull the bars back on night to make things a little easier. We use it frequently. Here's Lance demonstrating how it is used.

All in all it was an extremely fun and unexpected weekend. The only downfall is that Lance left me today and for the first time in about 6 months I cried and cried. He was kind enough to leave behind his adorable companion and mans best friend! I'll let you know how an entire week with a 7 month old golden retriever in an apartment goes!
