A relaxing weekend...for both of us =)

So this weekend I decided to bring my nephew to Greenville with me. I always hang out with him, and I always have him spend the night with me on the weekends...but we never get to hang out just us...where there are no other kids around...and no other Grandparents/parents around....so this weekend it has just been me and him...minus the few moments with my friends. We have had an excellent weekend together. Last night we went to Deadwood with a few of my friends...he got the chance to ride the train there, and then we left and went to the ECU Hockey Game. He had a blast there also...we slept very well last night, with no babies waking us up this morning.
This morning we watched movies together, ate breakfast together, and then we both got cleaned up and went to "The Jumping Monkey"...He REALLY enjoyed himself there. I can't say I loved the commotion of the place, but if it made him happy...that's what matters. For lunch he decided he wanted to go to Burger King (gross, but okay)--so we had lunch together at Burger King, and then we went to the park to play. I am a little kid at heart so I really enjoyed playing with him at the park. It got cold really fast, so we left...and then he helped me cook dinner. One of the things he said that I absolutely loved was" I'm a good helper, I'm a great cooker"--it was too cute! I could see the excitement in his face that he loved being able to help me in the kitchen. I really love spending time with Ethan. Right now he's sitting here with his head on my shoulder playing with my hair, and we're watching TV together. The time I spend with Ethan is absolutely precious to me. My brother and his wife are coming to get Ethan tomorrow, and I won't see him for two weeks or more which makes me really sad--but I will survive...haha.
When Ethan was first born I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with him because I was gone a lot...and my first year of college I wasn't around Him much either...so I am trying to make up for being absent as much as I can.
Anyway...here are some pictures of our weekend together!

A little about me...

I took this survey from my friend Drea ...I am bored and I figured I would do it as well =)

Name: Brittany, or Britt--whichever you may prefer

DOB: Jun 16, 1988

Marital Status: Single

Children: None

Location: Somewhere in NC

Height: 5 ft. 1 inch (short :) )

Weight: Haha--I'm not posting that here

Hair: Auburn/Brown

Eyes: Hazel

Nationality: Caucasian

Siblings: 2 brothers--Eric is the oldest (35) and Patrick (29)

Personality: I'm not sure how I would describe my personality--I can seem shy at first, but once you get me to open up it's really hard to get me to stop talking. I like to keep to myself--I am in deep thought a lot of the time, but I can be very extroverted at times depending on who I am with. I like to say I have a goofy personality--but once again that really depends on who I am with.

Occupation: Student

Loves: God--Without Him I would be absolutely nothing. My family. My nieces and nephew most definitely--they stole my heart they day they were born. Learning new things. Taking pictures. Writing. Reading.

Hates: Any kind of food with a weird texture, deliberate stupidity. I dislike the trait of someone who refuses to see life at a different angle, or closed minded people who refuse to accept that sometimes that might be wrong.

Favorite Colors: Blue and purple, and any tones that are "beachy" I guess

Favorite Movies: Batman: The Dark Knight, Mama Mia, P.S. I love you, Deja Vu, A walk to Remember, There's a lot more but those are ones off the top of my head

Favorite Music: Too much to name!! I like a lot of old 90's music, but I like newer stuff as well. I have different tastes in music depending on my mood--I like Contemporary Christian music, and some Christian alternative music

Favorite TV Shows: Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, The Secret Life of an American Teenager....There's more I'm sure I just can't think right now

Favorite Fast Food: Sonic, Taco Bell, Subway--I'm not a HUGE fan of fast food...

Favorite Restaurants: Any kind of Asian restaurant, Hibachi Express, Applebee's, Any place where I can get good pasta
