Anyway, last weekend when I was still in Knoxville we had a great weekend! Darren and I both agreed it was one of the best weekends we had in a long time. It started off Friday night. I worked on a project at school most of the day Friday but when I got home we decided we wanted to do something. Also when I got home I found out we had been delivered a mysterious package which turned out to be a brand new fancy wireless printer. My parents had called me the weekend before and said something about getting a new printer and I lamented about how much I hated our current printer which was a hand me down I have had since freshman year of college. But somehow it was actually still working so I didn't want to spend the money on a new one. So I was soooo excited and surprised when my parents bought it for us anyway and had it shipped to our house. It was so thoughtful and unexpected and we were really happy to have a printer that will actually be easy to use now. We considered staying in on Friday night because we're pretty conscious of not spending money eating out but decided since I would be gone most of next month we should do it anyway. We went to a brewery/ restaurant in Bearden and sat at the bar and had the best time. I don't know what it was but we just had a lot of fun and it was really nice for it to just be the two of us. And we were home in time to go to bed at a decent time which always makes my old soul happy.
Saturday morning we woke up and it was SO sunny! Which immediately made me very happy and was a nice change from all the overcast and snowy we had been having lately. Darren agreed to take me to a new little coffee shop for breakfast and it was GREAT! Everyone in Knoxville should definitely check out Blue Mason coffee. Darren isn't typically that into coffee and he said it was the best coffee he's ever had. I would agree and would also say that the almond, vanilla bean scone was the best scone I've ever had. Local little coffee shops are always the best and I'm so glad we discovered this one.
On the way back from coffee we stopped at REI. A perfect weekend wouldn't be complete without a little shopping. We planned on going hiking in the afternoon and my running shoes really weren't going to cut it in the snow and mud. Darren suggested we buy some hiking shoes for me and we found some awesome ones! This isn't a great picture of them but they're completely waterproof and have been keeping my feet so warm in dry in the weather we've been having lately. I also really like that they will be great to continue to use throughout the spring and summer too.
We picked a hike to do just over the North Carolina line where we could take the dogs too. They're seriously just the cutest and so funny.
These dogs were worn out by the end of the day, which is always nice for us! We headed home and then went to the Casual Pint near our house to watch the start of the UT basketball game with my brother and his girlfriend, Katie, who was in town. I love the selection at casual pint and we had fun even though the basketball game was not going our way. At half time Darren and I left and went to meet our friends Candace and Garret for dinner. It was good food and great company. We stayed there for a few hours even after we were done eating just drinking and talking. It made me soo sad that I had to leave the next day.
Sunday was pretty unexciting since Darren was resting up to work that night and I was busy packing up my life and getting everything together for my next rotation in Nashville. But Friday and Saturday just overall were great days. I was very sad to leave Knoxville but have actually been having a great time in Nashville so far!
