life.

Ok, so my new obsession is the Life series on the Discovery Channel.  If you watched the Planet Earth series about two years ago it is vere similar.  One of the best things about this series is the OPRAH NARRATES IT!!!  I love Oprah.  But, in all seriousness, it is an amazing series that follows different animals around the world and shows plenty of them that you have never seen before!  So, if you have nothing to watch on Sunday nights (I never do) then turn on Life (8 pm & 9 pm).

You can learn more about the show here.

best friends.

I had the BEST weekend!  Lindsay, Megan, Jenna, and Can all came down to Richmond to see me!  Lindsay was the first to arrive around 10:30 and we drove down to Williamsburg to do a little shopping at the outlets then headed back to Richmond to meet the rest of the girls at my house!  Jenna and Candice made a delicious asian chicken salad and then we headed to Belle Isle to do a little exploring...

Of course our girls weekends are never complete without a night out on the town!  We went to Sine first then down to Havana 59 to meet up with Chris and his cousin :)

Thanks for another great weekend girls!!  Already looking forward to the next!

trefoils.

Ok...whoever invented girl scout cookies should probably be shot...

Here I am doing my BEST to stop eating non-stop and have Michelle Obama arms before my wedding and TREFOILS are ruining my life!!!

The culprit...

There is only a little over half a box left, therefore after tomorrow (when I finish the box) I will re-start my "Practice some self control you freak" diet!  I will leave this part of my post with one simple statement:

F YOU GIRL SCOUTS!



I also thought it was about time that Bauer makes his debut on our blog...

HERE I AM, WORLD!!!

birthday surprise.

I have been looking forward to this weekend for a month! Megan & I surprised Candice at her and Jenna's apartment in Alexandria for the day. The St. Patty's Day parade was on Saturday so that was pretty fun...for the hour that we watched. It was sooo slow! But, we had more fun at the bar for a couple of hours. :)

The only thing that I don't like about living in Richmond is being so far away from my best friends. It is always fun to just sit around, drink beer, and talk with them! Already looking forward to the next weekend...

The D.C. Fire Department Bag Pipers. Took this for Chris :)

More bag pipers...this got old FAST. Especially in the bar!

She is a seriously good hula hooper!

Love my friends.

And then my camera died...definitely need to remember to charge it next time!

I did it.

Well...I did it, dammit. I have officially started a blog. I suppose there is no going back now? In all seriousness I did kind of, sort of, want to start a blog. It seems only fair for me to have a blog because I read so many others!

I am well aware that I am not a Kearney yet, but how clever is the name of my blog?!?! Stroke of genius if you ask me...however, it took about ten tries to get an unused URL, so I guess it's not that unique. Whatever, I'm happy with it!

So...I DO have a vision and purpose for my blog. Although it may seem at times that it is to post thousands of pictures of my amazingly adorable dog, it is not. I think this blog will help Chris and me get to know our new home, Richmond! Richmond is such an amazing place and it definitely has a bad reputation to a lot of people living in Northern Virginia. Chris and I enjoy photography and now that the weather is getting nicer we plan to venture out to the hidden and not so hidden gems in Richmond and post pictures so everyone can enjoy...we'll see how this goes :)

So, stay tuned...
