Catching up in North Carolina
Hello everyone!!
I finally got to come see Derek in North Carolina again! It was so great to see him; we haven't seen one another since Labor Day weekend so it was nice to spend time with each other again. The trip here was quite a fiasco though, it tested my patience for sure! First, my plane got delayed from 6:05 AM to 7:25 AM, so my parents and I got up at 3:30 AM for nothing, and I was not going to get into North Carolina until 4:30...four and half hours later than orignally planned! Then we ended up getting lost and I missed my 7:25 flight so at the very last minute they put me on a flight to Minneapolis and it ended up working better because I got into North Carolina at 1:00 PM. Then I had to wait at the car rental place for an hour because they were out of cars, it was terrible. But, I eventually made it to Derek! I opened up my presents from Derek then we got ready and headed out to dinner and to see Ides of March--very fantastic we woud both recommend it. The theater was very neat and it had an IMAX. Today we went out to breakfast, went shopping, and went to a winery that is just down the road from our apartment. Now we are cheering the Cardinals on for a win!

Here is a picture of the winery we went to on Saturday, very small and quiet. But very nice! And just to note; we were not the only ones there, some people are behind those trees haha
Here is our attempt of a self portrait, pretty good!
Derek enjoying his glass of wine...don't worry he bought a box to go
Here is another picture...just for fun! Thank goodness for timers on cameras :-)
We went shopping and saw this giant griaffe, Derek was amazed!
Derek has booked his flight home for Christmas and will be home for about three weeks which will be nice, if I am still not in North Carolina...which hopefully will not happen. Derek is still enjoying school and has begun studying for final exams in Decemeber--good luck to you Derek! In puppy news, Watson is currently learning some new tricks. He can now sit, give paw, lay down, and an half attempt of rolling over. Other than my visit out here, there is not much other news! I hope you all have a lovely week and GO CARDS!!
Much love!

Fall is rolling in!
Hello all!
It has been awhile! Here just a few new things that are happening. We received our wedding pictures back from Fresh Photo and they turned out absolutely beautiful, Derek and I could not have asked for anything better. We also got back our wedding video, which was also beautifully done! I hope each of you can see it sometime soon, I laughed and cried multiple times, Digital Productions did a fantastic job as well! Here is the link to view the wedding pictures and the password is July2011 http://laurieandderekbuhr.shutterfly.com/
We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
I got to home last weekend to visit with family. On Saturday I did the MS Walk with Rose, Tiffany, Zack, and Crystal's family. Then later in the evening I BBQ'ed with my parents and then we went to Matt's house to watch the Mizzou game, Watson even got to come along and hang out with all us, he was being a huge snuggle bug with dad, it was pretty cute.
Watson has first haircut this week, the groomer said she would definitely recommend him coming in a few times a month so he could get used to the cut. His haircut almost took three hours because he was scared of the blow dryer and she said he did not like them messing around his eyes. He currently weighs in at 7 pounds and 12 ounces and a bunch of personality! He is doing better with the potty training but he is so hard to get mad at when he has an accident, I mean could you resist this adorable face?!

I am still currently looking for a job out in North Carolina, everyone keep your fingers crossed for me! I have applied at several other places and am patiently waiting! So in the mean time, I am going to fly out to visit Derek October 15th-18th. It will be a nice little get a way. Flights are getting more and more expensive with the holidays rolling in! Derek has been looking at flights for Thanksgiving weekend and said the cheapest flight he could find was around 400 dollars! But, what are you gonna do? As you all may have heard I am going to be an aunt! Matt and his girlfriend Sarah are expecting their first child in late Spring. We are all very excited and so are Matt and Sarah. Matt is determined that it is a girl, but whatever the sex of the baby it will have two great parents and an excellent aunt, if I may add :-) Derek is still loving school but stays very busy with homework! It amazes me how much homework he has! He has already started studying for his finals in December. I am sure he will do excellent!
I believe this is all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful week! XO
