I "heart" New York

Melissa and I decided last minute to go to New York City a couple of weekends ago. I have always wanted to go there before Christmas so we did. You have to take advantage of the East Coast while you live there right? Anyway neither of us had been there before so we were amazed. It was beautiful! We went to Phantom of the Opera, the Empire State Building, Times Square, Chinatown, the site of the World Trade Center, Wall Street, shopping on 5th Ave, Ice Skating in Central Park and I even held a sign at the Today Show that said "hi" to Jake. Here are some of our photo's.

Thanksgiving

This year I was very thankful for my mom's visit. Here are some of the photo's from her trip. We had a fun time.

Go Beavers!

This weekend the Oregon State plays Oregon in the traditional "Civil War" game. I found these old photo's from a couple of years ago when Jake and I were home visiting. I love going to the games and watching OSU play on TV. It is very rare to see a game out in Georgia, so when it is on it is exciting. I think that the game will be televised tomorrow but I have to work, maybe I will record it or go into the break room a lot. Anyways....Go Beavs!

Sister's weekend plus Joe

Last weekend my mother-in-law Holly, aunt-in-law Janet, and sister-in-laws Kara and Annie came to visit. We had a wonderful time together and I am so thankful for Jake's wonderful family. We ate at great restaurants, ate a lot of Swedish fish candies, went shopping, and enjoyed catching up. Joe joined us for a couple of those day's too since he just lives about an hour north in South Carolina.

Costumes and Pumpkins

Melissa and I went to a costume party last week and carved our pumkins this week. We had a good time. Melissa carved a pirate pumpkin and my pumpkin is a woman with big lips and eye lashes.

Happy Birthday Melissa!

Sisters!

I took Melissa out to dinner downtown Savannah for her birthday last week. Then we went to a breast cancer benefit called "The Chocoholic Frolic." There was a lot of chocolate to eat. We had a great time!

Charleston again.

Last weekend I went up to Charleston with girls from my bible study. We went to help a family that just had a baby. It was a great time to get to know the girls and to talk about what God is doing in our lives. We cooked and baked a whole freezer full of meals for the family. I got some really great new meal idea's. I think we made enough for them to eat for a month! We did have an afternoon to get downtown Charleston. It was a beautiful day nice and cool. These photo's are of us eating lunch in a park.
