Andddddd I'm back

So I know that I have not posted in WAY too long, I apologize for my temporary hiatus! I have gone on so many little adventures since my last post, but I don't dare try and cover them all, so from now on I will be much consistent.... I am sure you were so very worried about my whereabouts. 

I will start with a wonderful weekend that Anthony, Murphy and I had a few weeks ago. Sometimes just hanging around your city and exploring some local places you have always said you wanted to go is all you need to make a normal, hang out weekend into something spectacular. I took my little Murphy man for a Friday evening walk around downtown and across the newly re-opened blue bridge. He is such a little investigator and LOVES going on adventures.

Murphy man will always pose for me. Such a ham.

The following morning I made some pretty delicious sweet potato hash, enjoyed a cuppa coffee and watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead to get ourselves caught up for the October 13 season premiere! We always have a show that we are watching from the beginning and the list currently includes, The Walking Dead (Duh), Heroes, and Glee. I have seen all of Glee but I am beyond stoked that Anthony has decided to join my 'Gleek' status. 

We left the house and headed to East Grand Rapids for a little antiquing! We took my truck on the off chance that I found a dresser or entry table (which are on my interior design needs list). We found that East Town was hosting an arts fair so we walked around for a bit and enjoyed the sunshine. Then we headed into East Town Antiques where I found a couple of FANTASTIC, heavy duty coffee mugs. They had an array of colors so made Anthony choose his favorite and I chose mine. Now our weekend mornings can be spent all cute with our matching mugs. Anthony is stoked I am sure.

We then walked over to Harmony Brewing company, another place I have been dying to go, to enjoy one of their in house brews. It was everything I thought it would be, and more! I enjoyed a Black Squirrel smokey porter. It was described to me as a bloody mary beer, and I was immediately sold. Anthony chose the Crossroads Rye which was very tasty as well. The icing on the cake was when I decided to order the Hot Bacon Nuts. Lord have mercy, that's all I have to say about that.

It was such a beautiful sunny day, and I couldn't help but bust out my plaid button up from The Gap. I mean it is fall now.....kind of. I couldn't think of anyone else I would rather spend the day with than Anthony. He's a gem! 

After leaving Harmony, we walked around a little more then headed to a couple more places I have been wanting to stop. Rowster Coffee and Wealthy Street Bakery. I will most definitely be stopping by these places again and can't believe how long it took me to check them out! 

I have lived all over the United States and the World for that matter, and I have been guilty of not taking full advantage of where I am living. I don't want to ever want to say something like this again, 'I lived in Florida but for some reason, we never made it down to Disney World'. I have my travel pants on and I am ready. Let's go!

Thanks for stopping by!
