The fam met at a nice mountain house for Thanksgiving this year. Fletcher, North Carolina (a breath outside Asheville), which acted as the meeting spot for the Char-town, Lullville, and Hot-lanta crew. As per usual, we had a great time watching football, eating, playing games, and visiting the town of Asheville--home of the beautiful Biltmore (yes we saw George's magnificent estate while we were there too!) I'm SO thankful to have such a large and loving family. Every family has its quirks and characters, and I wouldn't trade mine for the world. God has truly blessed us, and I can't wait to meet the newest addition next month in Lullvulle (that's Kentucky-slang for Louisville). We loved the downtown Asheville area! The Asheville veterans marked the way.. . This looks a little more like a traditional American Thanksgiving ! We also stopped by the beautiful Grove Park Inn It's built onto a mountain! This was the view from one of the porches at...

Matthew and I have a wonderful wedding-filled weekend!  Much was accomplished! First, I got my wedding dress! YES! That's what I said to the dress. Not only does it fit like a glass slipper, and I love it, but it was on sale! It couldn't get much better than that. Mom and I had a great time finding it too! Next, Matthew and I had a blast with our Parisian (yes he's from Paris!) photographer, Eric. He's really funny, as you can tell from all my 26 teeth showing in most of the pictures. Wait, is it 26? I'm eating popcorn right now so it's hard to count with my tongue.

Finally, we ended the weekend with our r...

Me with just a few of the girls at the Saturday night rally. Get it Camo.... Surrender. Yeah. We're cool! Had an amazing weekend hanging out with 9 beautiful 9th grade girls at the 2010 DNOW Surrender weekend. We had a blast growing in God's word, laughing, dressing out in camo and just enjoying fellowship. Oh, and they loved to tell me how old I was. Examples of comments: "So what kind of dance move did they have back when you were young?" "You don't know what the jerk dance move looks like?" "Well, I mean do you remember what it was like at our school back when you were there?" "You're, like, the oldest, so you go first." Thanks for loving me despite my old age girls! :) You girls looked awesome!

Ever had laryngitis before? If not here is what webMD claims the symptoms are: What are the symptoms? The main symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness. Your voice may sound raspy, be deeper than normal, or break now and then. You may lose your voice completely. Other symptoms may include a dry or  sore throat , coughing, and trouble swallowing. Now, if you already have a naturally hoarse voice like myself, you most likely will lose your voice more easily. Plus, I'm told teachers are more prone to laryngitis because their job consists of constantly talking and/or yelling at students. :)  Well, I'm no doctor, but I believe you haven't heard from me in a while cause my body said ENOUGH .... PLEASE SLOW DOWN AND REST NOW. After a busy few months of teaching, graduate work, planning parties, and getting some wedding planning underway, I think I just needed to rest. So my sinus cold also took my voice away too.  I don't really understand why people whisper back to you when yo...
