Fresh Moves!

Last night Britt and I were chillin out on the roof at her apartment drinkin a beer and talking about how awesome summer in State College is, when we checked twitter and saw that DJKidAV was kinda bummed out:

"I miss my student friends. Only thing that sucks about penn state is losing friends to graduation!"

Spring Break - Blue Ridge Mountains

So now that everyone and their mother has started their own blog, I thought it was about time that I started mine. I've been meaning to do this for about five months... basically since I graduated... and suddenly had all the time in the world. Instead, I found a million and one other ways to waste my time..

My biggest roadblock to starting a blog, was coming up with a sweet title, a good pic, cool stuff to talk about, blah blah blah. So, tonight, with nothing to do at work, and my glorious new macbook sitting in front of me, it's finally happening for me.

I guess a good start would be my spring break... this was a few months ago, but a pretty rad adventure nonetheless. A good place to start.

Having graduated in December, and not yet started my real job, I ditched my new temp job as a detailer at Saturn for a week (Bossman wasn't too stoked, but had no choice. I had already paid?? whatev) to go on spring break with some awesome people... this is our story..

We left Saturday around noon and drove to somewhere near Asheville, North Carolina where Steph's aunt and uncle live. Her aunt and uncle, Linda and Aubrey, are two of the coolest people ever. They built their own house in the 80's and they reside on about 70 acres of land in a valley in the middle of nowhere... so awesome.


Aubrey and Linda's House -->


Their property was pretty cool. They still grow a lot of their own produce, used to raise sheep and pigs i think? They're pretty self sufficient, and make insanely good food. We helped them with some work around the property in exchange for a place to crash and delicious food. Totally worth it.



After helping them tear down a greenhouse that got wrecked by a snow storm (about a week before, they had a foot or two of snow there. more than we had in pa. wtf?), cleaning up brush, and pruning some trees around the place, we went and hiked a mountain, then came back for dinner.



The food Linda made us was seriously legit. And the blueberry cobler to finish the night was unforgettable with real whipped cream... like she whipped it herself.... mmm. Definitely went into a food coma so I could eat it all. So after that, we chilled on the porch, drank some tea, and played some bocce while the sun went down.




Oh and meet Millie... our new bff... a super high energy husky. We love that dog. She's so rad.






Welp, I'm done talking. Here are some pics:

Extreme bocce ball yeaaa!

Wonder who won..


Their porch is a real nice place to chill while the sun sets.


The whole crew (minus Rob taking the pic) at some god awful hour of the morning.
Setting off for some adventures :D

That was just the first day... I'll post later about the following days.

In the meantime, check out our Picasa albums...
