Law School Formal

So, I just got back from Tripp's Law School Fall Formal.  Tripp is in his first year of law school at Appalachian School of Law.  Despite it being in Grundy, we actually had a BLAST!  His friends are all really nice and there are lots of outdoorsy things to do in the area which we took full advantage of.

Despite being a little under the weather with a sinus infection, I packed Bryer up and we drove to Grundy this past weekend.  We layed low on friday night and studied the majority of the day on Saturday.  We did get to take Bryer "creeking" and "fishing" though later in the day.  He was a ball.  Everytime he'd see a fish he'd try and stomp on it and was unfortunately extremely unsuccessful.  It made for excellent entertainment though!  

That night Tripp had about 10 of his friends over and we had a little cocktail party before the Ball.  I made these delicious jalepeno poppers!  No, not the frozen kind from Kroger, I made them the good old fashioned way with ground sausage and goat cheese.  Bryer was, naturally, the center of attention.  


At the "Ball" there was an open bar, a dj, and about 200 people (more than likely outnumbering the population of the town itself).  Surprisingly, I ran into some old high school friends that are attending Appalachian (does Molly Burke ring a bell?)




 

On Sunday, we went to the "Breaks" and did a little hiking and scoped out the scenery before I had to leave.  It is really beautiful at the Breaks.  Next time I'm going to have to remember to pack some good shoes though!  We took some pictures at the "State Line" where you can see the border of Virginia and Kentucky, pretty neat.  They call the river down there the Grand Canyon of the South.  A lot of people gather to go kayaking and white water rafting.  Enjoy the pictures!  I had a great time with Tripp.  He is such an amazing guy and you all can rest assured that he treats me like gold and I've never been happier in my life.  We've been together now for 5 years (well there were I think 2 little breakups in college) and I'm lucky enough to have him as my best friend as well.  Enough sappy, but I will see him again in two weeks!
