We hung around the Charlotte area for the weekend. Saturday morning consisted of yard work and cleaning the entire house. I hate cleaning the house, but I hate yard work more so I normally do the inside and Jared does the outside. Getting old fucking sucks.
The rest of the afternoon was filled with college football. NC State played early in the afternoon and ECU played in the evening. HOUSE DIVIDED. Thanks again Audrey for the beautiful wreath!
Since we were planning on going out that night I had to make something for dinner that was going to soak up the alcohol. And so we have the Chicken Cordon Blue Pasta Bake.
I got this dish off of a website, http://www.emilybites.com/, that has great low fat recipes. Perfect if you are trying to stick to your weight watchers diet. Side note: I did not use whole wheat pasta. What?! Food Lion didn't have any...
After dinner, we went to a bar in the epicenter located in downtown Charlotte called Mortimers (http://www.mortimerspub.com/) to watch the ECU game. Apparently it is an ECU bar...as if I care. We met up with a couple of Jared's college buddies, and enjoyed a few rounds of beers and shots while we watched the game. After they started creaming NC Central we decided to head on over to VBGBs (http://vbgbuptown.com/), which stands for Very Big German Beer. I highly recommend this place to anyone who comes to Charlotte. They have every outdoor activity you could think of - volleyball, lifesize chess, cornhole, etc. Please go if you get a chance!
Sunday we spent the day with Jared's family at his parents' neighborhood pool. I struggled MAJORLY that day due to all the drinking I did before, but I sucked it up and had a beer with dinner.
Sorry the weekend was not that exciting, but every once in awhile it's good to have a boring weekend.
