Life Lately

Well, weekends lately really, because during the week it's pretty much wake up, drive, work, drive, go to sleep...and doesn't leave much time for anything more than a quick load of laundry, some vacuuming, or a bit of some good ol' tv watching. :) No complaints, though, because the weekends spent with Pete and Chubbs always make up for the long week.

 

Also, you'll be happy to know we were just talking about needing to bring our nice camera out more often rather than just our iPhones; so hopefully my picture quality will be picking back up again soon for you all.

Fall in Atlanta

It's Fall; my most favorite time of the year. The crispness in the air, the amount of friendly people outside all taking advantage of the weather, opening the windows to air out the house from the long summer, eating myself sick from candy corn, and of course, all things pumpkin. I love everything about this time of year.

 

Especially watching Chubbs come alive now that it's not 610 degrees outside. He's a different dog in cold weather and it's pretty cute to watch. I think we were asked about 14 times if he was a puppy this weekend :) I wish! So needless to say, we've been spending most of our weekends lately at dog parks and outdoor restaurants (so Chubbs can come of course!) to watch football and sip on some fall Brewskies.

 

Some of my favorite pictures as of late:

This bag might have been gone in one week...I have problems when it comes to candy corn.

AWESOME NEIGHBORS + TEXAS FOOTBALL

= A "Football Station" at Jenn's 28th Birthday Party.

That's right, my new house came fully-loaded with wonderful neighbors. I don't know how I got so lucky, but they're awesome; I've got two above me (Matt & Jenn) and two next-door (Hannah & Evan)...both soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.'!


Anyways, yesterday was not only Texas' huge rivalry against Oklahoma, but Jenn's 28th birthday party in our backyard, at the same time...Dilemma! No way I was missing the party to watch the game somewhere (since I don't have cable), so I kindly asked Matthew if I could periodically through the afternoon use their television to check the score of the game.


Well, knowing Matt & Jenn for only a few months now I've quickly learned that they know how to entertain and throw a party; and my little inquisition turned into a a full-fledged designated "Football Section" in our backyard during Jenn's party:

    (notice their flat-screen tv on the right, mounted to the deck post!)

Is that not AMAZING??

I tell you they're the best. Seriously, Fall weather, Jenn's birthday party, beer in hand and football outside? PERFECT Saturday afternoon.

The only not so perfect thing? Even though ABC all over the nation was televising the TX/OU game, apparently Pennsylvania ABC can do whatever it wants and decided Wisconsin vs. Michigan State would be a better game to air...are you kidding me?...Boo ABC.

BUT even that couldn't ruin a fun time celebrating with sweet friends and neighbors.
