It is Tuesday, October 13th, the second day of fall break. It's finally time to breathe! It felt great to sleep in until 9:30 for the past two weekdays. My 3 exams last week went pretty well and I am just happy to have them behind me!
This past weekend my parents and aunt/uncle came to visit me at my husband and I's new townhouse in Stephens City (about 5 miles south on Winchester). We had a really good weekend - went to Three Fox Vineyards which is a winery near Sky Meadows State Park. They were having an event where they made lunch available and had alpaca's transported to the vineyard. They had a place where you could buy alpaca clothing and it was very interesting and different. After the winery we went to some local shops and then out to dinner at IJ Canns, which is an American Grille with very good food.
Sunday we went to Marker-Miller farms where they were having an Apple Festival. We ate apple cider donuts and picked tons of apples for my parents to take home with them. It was a very relaxing visit and I am glad I finally had time to spend with family and not have to be worrying about tests.
This coming week I don't have any tests or quizzes so I am good to go until next weekend. This Friday, KE is having a dinner for breast cancer survivors called "Fight Like A Girl". The president-elect of KE has to put on this dinner every year in the month of October (Breast Cancer awareness month). I have helped the president-elect a great deal with this dinner and I am looking forward to it a lot. Members of KE helped put together raffle baskets for those attending and this Thursday we will put together flower vases for all of the tables, among many other small tasks - so needless to say, it will still be a busy week.
This coming weekend is my weekend to work and next week the quizzes start up again...break is always short and sweet and then things start right back up!
