Busy, Busy, Dreadfully Busy

Whew! Ok.. let's start with when J's family was here.

It was a quick trip for them, but we had a great time. We did some shopping, watched a movie, ate, and just enjoyed being together. The boys ate at the Seafood Restaurant at the Farmer's Market. We also enjoyed some stuffed pizza. We also introduced them to Red Hots and Cheerwine (both NC things that I don't really care for, ha). It was a great time, and we look forward to seeing them again soon.

I have also started grad school and work recently. Both of those have kept me extremely busy. I had meetings or workshops the first 5 days, then students came Thursday. And I have class Monday and Wednesday nights. So on those nights, I don't get home til 7:30. After getting to work around 7:30 (leaving at 7:00), I am just worn out! Thankfully, I think I will really enjoy my classes. Once I get used to having a schedule again, I think I won't be so tired. But it is an adjustment!

We got our tickets for the MSU-UGA game. We are super pumped to be going! Go State. Speaking of... football season starts Thursday for us! So excited.. I pretty much love everything about fall... the colors, the holidays, the crisp air (you know, the two nights that happens), pumpkin pie, apple pie, a trip to the mountains... ah, can you tell I'm excited?!

Yesterday we had rain and wind from Irene. It wasn't too bad here; we were on the western edge of where it hit. We even had power the whole time even though there were power outages all around us. But for some reason, we did lose power at midnight last night. It was out for about 4 hours. But Irene was pretty much gone around 6, so we aren't sure why the power went out. But we made it through a hurricane and an earthquake this week!

And as always, I promise to try to update more. But with school and work and football season, we'll see how that plays out!
