Orange Bowl, Baby!

For those of you who don't know (and if you aren't aware you must be living in a hole) the Hokies won their game this weekend are are now ACC Champions!!! We're BCS bound!! We've had quite a nice weekend and I'm really sad that it's over.

On Friday we went out to dinner at Sal's for Italian food. We haven't eaten there before, but we both really liked it. After dinner we went to Bull & Bones to meet a friend for a few beers. They just started featuring their Winter Ale, which is a very smooth brown ale with and IBU of 23 and an alcohol content of 7.0%. Hubby drank like five beers, so obviously I had the honor of driving home.

Saturday we went Christmas shopping in downtown Blacksburg and found a few really great gifts. It was snowing the whole time we were shopping, so I felt like we were in a movie scene while walking around in Blacksburg. After we bought a few gifts, we walked around the farmers market. I'm really excited about all the different things that can be bought at it - there were even vendors selling bread and meat! After shopping we headed back home to enjoy the snow and watch football.

While we were waiting for our game to start, we played a few intense games of scrabble. I won once, and Hubby and our roomie tied for first place during the second game. They were really excited to beat me (as you can tell from the picture). 

Now, we're relaxing and watching TV, and getting prepared to move into our new apartment tomorrow!! I'm not looking forward to packing/unpacking and all of that, but it is exciting that we're going to have a place of our own with an awesome backyard for Buddy to run around in.

I'm also excited because Hubby's parents bought tickets to the Orange Bowl, so we're going to Miami, baby!! We just bought our flights! We will be in Miami from January 2-4! What a way to start the year!!
