So, it's been a year since Dan and I had our first date and met and we celebrated in high style! I took him to see one of his favorite musicians, David Sanborn at Blues Alley. I had never been before and what an amazing experience. I loved the music, venue and especially the company.
The next day after celebrating Dan's birthday and our anniversary we headed down to Roanoke to visit his parents. I have never been there before, expect to drive through on my way to Tech to visit Rob. It was a gorgeous day for a drive. Sure enough his folks were waiting for us in the door when we arrived.
Their house is GORGEOUS and reminded me a lot of our old house in CT with the trees, grass and having property.
Over the weekend we went to yard sales, ate at an awesome pizza shop and found the most amazing book store that we could have spent hours in! It was so nice to spend time with his parents. We even watched the Red Sox play and Dan and his mom both began to teach me how to play piano! That was the neatest and as you can see I have a lot of learning left!

It's amazing how quickly time flies and I'm so excited for more celebrations. Now, I just need to get the sheet music to keep learning this song so I can have a real recital playing an instrument!
