The Blair Life: Country Heritage Winery

Monday is here yet again and that means the weekend is over - obvi. Unfortunately that means the end of a great weekend with friends and heading back to life in the real world.

Even though a lot happened this weekend it didn't feel like it really. I took off from work early on Friday and headed home to do a bit of last minute sprucing up around the house before my friends got to town. We talked, caught up and ate, and once the last of us showed up we headed out for some dancing in town. I love that you can go so long without seeing someone and then once you are reunited it is like you were never apart.

Out for the night at Flashbacks to dance to the best songs ever.

Saturday started late with breakfast and some sun-bathing, and then after dealing with my brother's car drama we headed to the winery. This is the same winery I had previously talked about in a weekend wrap-up post, but none of these girls had been so it was new and fun for everyone.

After a tasting we all got a bottle and sat down to just talk some more. Eventually we took pictures - it is inevitable - and then headed home.

After lunch on Sunday everyone took off and Remi just sat there staring at the door. He was so used to people coming in and out this weekend that I don't think he knew what was going on when they all left. Needless-to-say, I got a lot of cuddle time with my puppy throughout the day - while soaking up the last of the summer sun while I can.

And that is the weekend everyone. Now it is back to the real world to count down until Friday. Hey, it is a three-day weekend next weekend so there is that!

I was really liking how my eyelashes were looking yesterday. Check out Benefit x Birchbox's giveaway that I submitted this picture for!

What did you do this weekend?

So this weekend was a big one. We joined Nate's family at a Vineyard & Winery for his cousins birthday and I got to join Nate on his first official wine tasting. It was so much fun. Granted, Nate and I can only share one type of wine - Moscato - and I wasn't even super fond of their's, so we bought a bottle of Cab for me and he ended up getting wine slushies. Everyone was happy. If you ever find yourself in Northeast Indiana, make sure to take a trip to Country Heritage Winery. It is so pretty inside and the wine is fab. On the weekend they have something called "Wine Down" where they get a band/musician to come and play for three hours while everyone drinks their wine. They also brought in a food truck that I didn't try, but our family members were raving about.

We called it a night earlier than the rest of his family because I had a class to go to at 8 on Saturday morning and Nate had a paper to write for school. By that afternoon though, we were back at the birthday celebration joining his cousin and her friends for a pond party. Drinking games, food and plenty of conversations ensued and it was a wonderful time. I did however fail on the picture-taking so I apologize (blogger fail).

Sunday was bittersweet. Nate and I skipped out on church to get him ready to take off for his first week of labs down at Indiana Wesleyan - yay grad school! We used to have a (short) long distance relationship and he travels for work when his sports are in season, so we are used to being apart for periods of time, but it is never fun to say goodbye. He will be back soon though and I will be very happy.

I am glad that I have found things to do here and have made friends. Recently, I joined a group of girls on a 4's sand volleyball league in addition to my co-ed 6's team. I need to pick up an at-home hobby though to keep me busy while Nate is on the road - suggestions?

Below is an Insta update of everything I have posted since my last update. I will get better at this - I promise!
