Fall Break and Friends

Since the U2 concert in Atlanta, Eric and I have been pretty busy. As soon, as we got back that I night I started a new Bible study with my roommate from college. I am very excited to be hanging out with girlfriends again. Then, I got a surprise visit from two old and dear friends - Alayna and Lindsey. They were suppose to go camping in North Carolina but surprise they got rained out.

While Lindsey and Alayna were here we went and saw Couple's Retreat with one of my dear cousins Ashley. The movie wasn't nearly as funny as I hoped. It is definitely a renter. On Sunday, Lindsey and Alayna headed back to Memphis.

The next week was a great week for all teachers - Fall Break. Everybody loves having two extra days off. The Wednesday night before fall break Eric and I joined his family for dinner at Cracker Barrel. But, before we could go eat, I had to clean this pup up. She got lose and ran into a vacant lot next to our house and became very very muddy

The next morning Eric work up late because I didn't tell him to set his alarm and tell him I was on fall break. I went back to sleep while he was informing me of all this.

Eric and I went with some of his co-workers to the Third Day Concert. The concert was great. We had a lot of fun. The next day we left for yet another trip to Notre Dame to watch the Irish take on the Trojans of USC. I didn't get very many pictures - sorry. I did get a picture of Eric eating this huge elephant ear. I helped him eat some of it.

Notre Dame had a tough loss. It came down to the very last second. It was the most exciting and depressing game at the same time.

After a relaxing time off, it was time to head back to work. I ended up getting sick at the end of this past week. I had to leave work early on Thursday and take Friday off. Thankfully it wasn't the flu but a UTI. Fun times. But, my lovely and wonderful husband surprised me Friday night with a brand new vacuum cleaner. I was so excited. I must be getting old to get excited about a vacuum cleaner.

My new Dyson Animal. It was very disgusting the first time I used it.
