Last weekend was jam-packed with fun! We went to a hockey game and dinner with Stephanie and Chris on Friday. On Saturday I headed to Athens to tailgate with Marty and Lee, then Kristen and Andrea while Casey went hunting. Then, hung out with lots of family on Sunday and Lucy’s. I did not want to go back to work this week!
A little late, but we sure did have fun. A week before halloween, we went to a party in Greshemville to celebrate Andy’s Birthday and Halloween. Casey and I found some great costumes…and my hair just happen to fit with me being a flapper after I got it cut! Casey as always, loves to be the joker and looked great. The next week, we we visited with Lily and Grace who also had great costumes (the devil and a dead cheerleader) and handed out candy. We headed to Naomi and Louie for a sweeeet halloween party then. They were gracious hosts and their house was decked out in Halloween goodness! Here’s just a couple pics:
Notice the Hot Dog!
I was going to come home and whine about how I wasn’t going to get to see Casey this week because he has turned into a hunter…however, my attitude has changed…
I came home to this:
Casey is so sweet! These sure will brighten my week when I can’t see him! He made my day/week/etc! (And I hope he shoots a deer 
)
So, I’ve heard that bad things come in 3s. I think I am there.
About a month ago, my dog started getting sick. He has some random auto-immune disease and super high temperatures numous times. I have spent more money than I care to admit, and he is still looking depressed and sick.
A week and half ago, I got rear ended while sitting at a red light. Luckily, they have already fixed Casey’s SUV I was driving, and the girl’s insurance is paying for me to go to the chiropractor since my back is still hurting.
Ok so today, I must’ve hit my 3rd (let’s hope). I fell down my trailer stairs onto the ground and twisted my ankle. The child walking with me just looked down at me on the ground and asked if I was ok. I jumped up, dusted myself off and quickly said yes. Now, I am sitting with my ankle up and icing it.
Please think about me and hope these are my 3, and my days will start looking up.
In my class, we are learning about some American Heroes. One of them is FDR who is so cool to learn about especially b/c of his polio and he came to GA a lot. One of my students, who herself has a bad disease and is in and out of the hospital often, told me she had a great book on polio. She lent a very worn copy to me. It is called Small Steps: The Year I got Polio. It is written by a woman, Peg Kehret, who in 1949 when she was 12, got polio. The first chapter just about made me cry. As it continued on she described her struggles and triumphs… She really developed her roommates from her rehab center, and you could hear her voice. Even if it is written for kids, I would suggest you to read it! We can learn a lot from kids, something I need to make sure I pay attention to everyday.
We have done so many fun things lately, but I have been very lazy about putting them up on the blog. Last month, we went camping with Stephanie and Chris up in North Carolina and had a blast! We even went white water rafting. This month, we traveled to Maine to hang out with Kirsten and Corey. They have a beautiful new house and chickens and woods. We had so much fun!!
Here are a few pictures:
Yesterday, I went to get my hair chopped off at The Process. It is a school for hair stylists. It is super cheap b/c you are letting students work on your hair. I’ve been twice before and wasn’t scared. The two women seemed very knowledgable and their instructors just said, yes go for it! Yesterday, I was not that comfortable! The girl was VERY nervous about cutting 6 inches off of my hair. She kept saying things like are you sure, and so on. The instuctor came over and talked to her, and I thought it was fine. Then, when she was cutting, the instructor walked by and Stopped her! She told her to get up, and let her show her how! Man, I was sweating. The instructor came over 4 more times to help! Well, after all that – my hair did turn out pretty good. I will go back again — but maybe ask for someone a little further on in their studies
Since Casey and I have moved into our house, we have had the same UGA flag flying high outside. We are proud UGA fans. Except…our flag has seen better days.
Our old flag
Last weekend, Marty and Lee came to stay with us for the weekend. We had a blast in Athens and hanging out. They noticed our predictament with our old flag and decided to help us out. Last Wednesday, we got the best package ever! A new flag!
Thanks Marty and Lee !!! It looks great! Go DAWGS!
Our new flag!
Wahoo!
You can’t go wrong with Georgia Football and friends. This is a classic picture we always manage to take at football games. Last week, Casey and I headed up to Athens to tailgate for the dawgs. It turned out very eventful. We hung out all day with fun people, and the weather was nice and cool. Marty came down from NC with her beau to show him a good dawg time. I am sure he was impressed.
I will post the rest of our pictures on Facebook. I must say – not many turned out
After 7 hours of merriment, the sky broke open and it poured! We sat around for a while hanging out – til we peaced out before the game. Marty and Lee braved the weather for two quarters. In the end, the dawgs pulled it out with a win.
Overall, a superfun way to start the football season!
Rain Rain go away!
Have you ever seen rain before?
Marty and Lee amazed by the rain
Today, I went outside to give my dog Dusty some attention. It’s been raining a lot and he has been spending many hours inside his doghouse. I sat down in the chair to read the mail, and he puts his front two paws in my lap. I don’t mind really that he is getting me dirty b/c he’s so cute. Then he attempts to get his back legs up onto me. He is 65 lb now, and not as small as he used to be. Finally he managed to climb up, and after standing up a couple of times in my lap he managed to find a comfortable spot!
I screamed to Casey and he came with the camera.
