nature walk.

As I write this, I'm in a tad bit of denial that the weekend is over and I'll be headed to work early tomorrow morning.  This weekend was really, really great - nothing too exciting, but a lot of quality time and fun with my husband.

We've been trying to get more exercise recently, so Saturday morning, after sleeping in way too much, we checked out a walking/biking trail nearby.  It was so peaceful and nice to get some fresh air, and it really couldn't have been a more beautiful day for it. We walked for about 5 and a half miles, just chatting and enjoying the surroundings.







The only problem I have with being out in the woods is I have a somewhat completely irrational fear of bears (and yes, I know that they're not at all something I have to worry about). So I about had a heart attack when Nate suddenly froze mid-step and grabbed my arm.  Luckily the animal he saw was a bit less intimidating...




The fawn was so small and seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen (and this is coming from someone who really isn't an animal lover).  It must have been too young to have a proper sense of fear, because it just walked along right next to the trail as we took pictures, and eventually just sat down in the grass.  When we came back along that same part of the path almost two hours later, it was still in the exact same spot.

Saturday night we saw the new Marvel movie that's out, Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm usually not a huge fan of the superhero movie, but it was one of the best movies I've seen recently - super hilarious. Today it rained outside pretty much nonstop, so we ended up hanging around the house and relaxing.  This may have included me taking an unintentional nap.

And now it's off to bed to rest up for another week!  What'd you do this weekend?
