The past weekend was very eventful. The boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday in style. We introduced sushi/Japanese food to both sets of parents (on separate occasions) which was just fun. It was a busy yet absolutely amazing few days.
Friday we took the puppy (I know he’s 5 and 80 lbs. but he’s still my puppy) to the boyfriend’s parents so that they could dog sit for us while we went out of town for a few days. There was an accident on the way up which resulted in purchasing 2 new dog beds and cleaning the upholstery of the boyfriend’s truck. Not the best start to the day. After that was all squared away we went on a bike ride. Having already ran that morning and cleaned up an unfortunate and untimely accident I was in the best of moods. We rode our usual 17+ mile hilly route for that area and ended up back at the boyfriend’s parent’s house. We were a few hours behind schedule to leave town so I of course was in a hurry. The Bourbon Festival waits for no one. The bikes were loaded and I was rushing to get ready to depart for our house and that’s when the boyfriend proposed. I was coved in bike grease, sweat, snot (it’s just that time of year), and now tears. I of course said yes. It was completely unexpected, but completely us. Flowers and a fancy restaurant has never been our thing. I absolutely couldn’t be happier!
But like I said the Bourbon Festival waits for no one, engaged or not. After some celebrating and showers we head to Bardstown for our annual trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. It is an amazing event that displays one of the state’s best creations. It’s amazing to see how many different products Bourbon can be incorporated into. I never thought I would enjoy Bourbon jelly, but it’s really delicious.

But this weekend wasn’t all about Bourbon. I also meet up a very close friend and we ran a 5k together on Saturday morning. I can’t even begin to explain how proud I am of her. It was her very first 5k ever. She was sick, and she still kicked butt. We also participated in Paddlepolooza in the state’s capitol. We met up with another group of friends and kayaked the KY River. I have to admit that I prefer paddling the creek, but the flat water paddling was a great experience. The boyfriend and I are still very new to yaking and it is great to see other people enjoying the sport. Oh and it’s a sport, my arms are killing me.
Well, I have spend entirely too much time on the computer, I’m going to go hang out with my new fiancé.
