Farewell, gorgeous weekend! I love living out of the city so much. I'm a complete country girl through and through and am pretty sure I've been this way since birth. Nothing beats waking up to the sunshine beaming through the abundance of trees and landing right in your bedroom. The weather was perfect this weekend which made for an awesome Mother's Day. We headed up to my mom's place, which is my childhood home and spent the day out on the patio. I am super bummed that I didn't stop along the way to snap any photos. The drive there is just gorgeous... green hills for miles along a country road. We stopped at a couple garden markets along the way and picked up some yummy treats that I'll likely be paying for later!
My brother, his wife, and her pregnant little belly were there also. She is almost six months along now and I got to feel his little baby kicks. First time I've ever felt that before and it was so awesome! I might have squealed like a little girl...
Next time, I promise photos. How did you spend the weekend? Are you a city person or a country lover like me?
So cute that you got to feel the baby kick! That's exciting you'll be an aunt so soon!
ReplyDeleteI am a country girl! I was raised in georgia and loved wakng up to fresh air. Now that I live in the city I miss the country so much.
ReplyDeleteThis city girl pretended she was in the country all weekend. B and I did a service project at his school and then disappeared so far into the park that we couldn't even hear the cars. It was awesome :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you had a great weekend with your bro, sis in law, and the bump! Good weekends make great memories <3

Country girl all the way. There are things I like about the city, but nothing relaxes me more than being waaay out in open spaces away from the every day rush.
ReplyDeleteNot long ago, I felt my nephew's kicks inside my sister's belly. I had felt baby kicks before, but nothing was quite like feeling the little feet that would soon be my first nephew. It was awesome.
it was such a beautiful weekend! i'm a country girl too and i spent friday night at a festival in the city and then went to the country for a bonfire with friends and saturday night we all camped at the state park right by us. it was a beautiful weekend in the sun :) glad yours was too!
ReplyDeleteI'm a city girl although I appreciate the country. I need to have everything close by! Sounds like a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMe too! There are wonderful things about escaping to the country, but I love to wobble home in 4" heels after a night of drinks!
DeleteOur Mother's Day weather sucked :( Rainy and cold. So sad...
ReplyDeleteI'm a beach girl really, I guess...I don't like huge cities, but I'm not a big fan of backwoods Country either. I'm somewhere in the middle.
I'm actualy both. :) I enjoy the country side as well as the city, but I have to admit that I tend more to the nature and tranquillity... :)

I love both, but definitely a city girl. I love horses and big open fields, but being in the city makes me feel... important, ha! I went shopping with my mom and Anthropologie and we watched War Horse together and cried.
ReplyDeletedenver is perfect for me because it's an equal opportunity location for big city activities and mountain adventuring. i thrive on that balance. by the way, your smoky eye makeup in this photo is to die for!

Sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm both -- love the city, live in quite a big one here in Melbourne, but adoooooore the country.
(Espesh the mountainous and tranquil countryside of the fmr Yugoslavia with its sloping landscapes, pine trees and crystal-clear rivers and creeks...siiiiiigh!)
I live in the country, but I love visiting the city. It's nice to have a mix of both. That is such a pretty picture of you.

Feeling a baby kick is one of the most incredible things ever! I'm a bit of both city and country though I've always opted for the city over the country - I do love getting away to my cabin though :)
