October went by fast!!

Well this update is way overdue!!

October has been a busy month for us. Let me catch you up on the happenings of our household!

October has been visitor month. We have been blessed to have so many visitors stay at our humble abode. We LOVE to have people stay with us! I mean we do have 2 extra bedrooms. One has a queen bed in it and the other has a bunk bed. So, we could possibly open up as a bed and breakfast, but I don't think I'm ready to start the breakfast thing yet. :)

We had ADB's Mom stay the first weekend. We went to a Fall Crafts Fair. Lots of crafts. The neatest thing we saw (ADB's favorite) was this guy who makes 1700 style furniture. He had a chair that has an attached little desk with candle holder. Cutest thing ever and really comfortable. We were so tempted to buy one, but some drawbacks were he has a 2 year waiting list and the chair costs about $800. So needless to say, we just walked away with a pamphlet and no chair. While she was here, ADB decided to trim some branches off a tree in our backyard. He used this tree or pole chainsaw. I can't remember what I was doing while all this excitement was going on, but ADB's Mom was there to watch and call emergency services if they were needed. He did great and no phone calls were made. Yeah for safety!! Here he is with his machine and Bailey.

We also had a friend come from Ohio. He worked on Guest Services with ADB at camp. While he was here, he helped ADB cut up all the big branches into little firewood and throw out a bunch of the small stuff/brush. We are hoping to get one of those cool outside chimney things. We just need to tear down our shed in the back first. Anybody want to come visit and help us do that??? The next week, a friend from New York came to visit. It was so great to see them both.

Then, we had a brief drop in from another friend from New York as well. He flew in for some business, but then had to get going so we only spent some time in the afternoon with him. Here is a little photo:
Did you notice we are wearing shorts?? The weather is amazing. It is 60's (maybe a low 70) in the day and gets down to 40 during the night.

The next weekend, I ran in a 5k race for breast cancer. I think this was the most people I have ever ran in a race with before. There were so many people. I don't think I got to the start line until a minute after the race actually begin. Then for the first mile we were running around other runners and walkers trying not to trip anyone accidentally along the way. It was a fun time. I went with four other girls and we had a blast. I wish I had some pictures, but they are experiencing some computer problems, so no photos as of yet.

My soccer team is still undefeated and we are winning our division. Our last game, we had a potential fist fight break out. Never a dull moment with our team. I think we have gone one game without a card of some type.

Tomorrow, ADB and I are heading out to Ole Miss for the Auburn/Ole Miss football game. My first SEC football game!! Lets go tigers!! WAR EAGLE! I'll try to post some pictures soon!
