First Home App game of the season and Kevin, Kyle, and Sarah's Visit

This past weekend we had Kevin, Kyle, and Sarah come stay at our house. There was a home football game against a school called McNeese State. I thought that this would be a sure win. Well while we were at the game we watched the two teams battle each other touchdown after touchdown. Then in the last final seconds McNeese State won. I couldn't believe it. I was sad! Good thing Kevin, Kyle, and Sarah were in town. After the game we went to eat at Mellow Mushroom and then relaxed at the house all night. We didn't even stay up past 12:30. Everyone was so exhausted. The next morning we woke up and the boys went to the grocery store. What a concept right? It was exciting to not have to be the one looking for the things in the grocery store aisles. Sarah and I stayed at the house and hung out until they got back. Kyle and Josh cooked the breakfast. Kyle is a fabulous chef I might add and we all know that Josh can cook already. Kyle however is a head chef for his job in Greensboro. That's pretty cool! They had to leave so that Kyle could get back to work. Kyle and Sarah were the first ones to get to use our new guest bedroom furniture. That was exciting for us and them of course. Sarah is a great girl. I'm glad to have met her and hope that Kyle and she get married one day. Look at me-marrying someone off again. :)

Homecoming is coming soon- September 26th and we are all so excited. That will be the next time that I'll get to see everyone that I haven't seen in a long time. We didn't get to go to homecoming last year so this will be almost like a 2 year reunion for us and some people. It's been quite a while. Now if we can just keep the sickness away we will be doing well. Here are a few pictures of the new furniture in the bedrooms.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

This weekend is going to be very exciting. One of my lifelong best friends and bridesmaids is getting married today in Chapel Hill. I have had to do many things around the house to get ready to be able to get going today. I will have pictures to post up here when I do return this evening but I really hope that everyone is as excited as I am. My parents are going to be going to the wedding as well and my best friend from growing up Erin Goodman Silver as well. Erin just recently got married last month. All my besties are growing up on me! I can't believe it.

When I get back tonight my sweet husband will be home from the App vs. ECU game at ECU. Pray that the Mountaineers win their opening season game! Woohoo go APPPPPPPPPPP!!!! I am truly an Appalachian fan now I guess since I attend some classes there and also Josh works there. I am glad to be though. Matt Daurelio is coming into town today to watch our doggies until we get back and to hang out with us for Labor Day weekend. We are hoping to go to the waterfalls tomorrow so that Matt can get to play around and enjoy something outside up here in the beautiful mountains.

At work this week I got to take care of the little ones in the infant room for just about 45 minutes. It was a fun time because it's always nice to have a break at the end of the day and hold a baby. I know that it's easy and calm to take care of them because they only need a few varying necessities- food, diaper changing, sleep, and love. It's so fascinating to watch them grow. I also have been presented with a new form of insurance that I believe we may try out starting very soon. It's Aflac's disability plan. Apparently it will pay for you to be out while you are on maternity leave in the future. Now it won't let you sign up for it once you are already pregnant. You have to plan in advance for this. I am excited because that would be great to be able to be paid for 6 months after having a child from my insurance company. Hopefully there won't be any strings attached in the process. I'll have to ask more questions before jumping on board of course. Does anybody have any thoughts on Aflac and their plans?
