Life has been crazy busy over the past few months. Work has been grat but constantly keeping me on my toes. Shortly after starting as receptionist I was also drafted to work part time in development for the St. Louis house since our community relations manager had left. We have a huge fundraising 5K coming up in October so I have been inundated by all things running. Funny, right? If you know me you know I HATE running and now I'm organizing one. Never say never! I'm even training to run in it. God certainly has a sense of humor! For more info on the run visit our website www.runformercy.org/stlouis5k.
Mom, Nicole, and I decided to have a little ladies day last saturday and drove down to St. Genevieve. We had every intention of stopping in this quaint little town and doing some shopping, dinning, etc, however, when we arrived it was not quite what we had built up in our minds. Most of the shops (all 5 of them) were closed due to the holiday (Labor Day) and few of the restaurants were open. For all appearances, the town had closed up shop for the weekend! So, instead, we headed over to Crown Valley Winery.
This place is A LOT bigger than I had imagined. I have been to a few wineries but they were usually a quaint older home-ish looking building with the vineyards out back...not so much here! It was an incredibly gorgeous, crisp day but slightly windy trying to sit out back and do wine tastings. We had hoped to also tour the winery but unfortunately we arrived about an hour before they closed so we had missed the tours. Instead, mom and I decided to do some tastings while Nicole played the DD and took pics.

Needless to say, we had a great time at Crown Valley! I would recommend them to anyone.
