SORRY!! i know it has been 2 months!! oops!

Ya Ya... 2 months since the last post. I'm gonna try to be better but don't get your hopes up. We have actually been pretty busy. Let's see... what have you missed. 

Sept wasn't too exciting. The highlight was all of our shows starting back up. My favorites are Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, the Office, Survivor, ER, Amazing Race, the Hills, and more but I'm a little embarrassed about all of the tv that I watch. It would be much easier if our apartments used good cable so we could have DVR but at least most shows are online. (Centrovision cable is the worst ever, there is not a tv guide channel and they don't even offer the best invention ever... DVR. I'll get off of my soap box now). 
October was much more exciting!! I had a birthday on the 5th. Andy got me the Bose ipod sound dock that I had been wanting forever. I LOVE it!

We also went out to eat with our small group to Shogun! We had a lot of fun and LauraLeigh made the best cake ever!!!


The next big event was Stephen and Becca's wedding. Stephen has been Andy's best friend since junior high so it was very exciting! Stephen and Becca are some of our favorite people. Stephen is in seminary in Memphis and Becca is a nurse, such a great Christian couple! The wedding was beautiful. Bob (Andy's dad) did such a good job with the ceremony, like always. 
Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal dinner. 



AND the wedding






Although the wedding was very fun and we got to see all of our college friends, the highlight was when Jason and Beth came to AR from SE Asia. It had been a year since we had seen them. We had the best time ever. It was like thanksgiving early. All of the family got together and stayed at the lake house.  Beth is so freaking cute!! She is pregnant and due in Feb., we can't wait to meet the newest member of the family, Hatley Thomas! Andy's cousin Heather (who we call Heather 1 and I am Heather 2) is also pregnant and due 2 days after Beth. This will be their second son. Michael is 2 and adorable, the most handsome kid ever!! They live in Chicago so we don't get to see them much either. Anyways, while we were there, it was COLD. It got below freezing while we were there, so needless to say, we didn't get to ski :) We did, however, take a couple of boat rides. As you will see in the pictures, we bundled up in multiple layers and blankets. Overall, it was a restful trip filled with family quality time, my Favorite past time!! The guys had a fun time playing Wii and target shooting, while us girls sat around and talked baby and ate. Speaking of eating, oh my goodness, it was a feast!! Marsha said she used 12 POUNDS of sugar in one week!!!! There were like 15 people, but still!! Maybe that's why Marsha got an abscessed tooth the next week (I'm so sorry Marsh). What else did we do.. we hiked, had a baby shower, and a birthday party (Beth's birthday was the 3rd and mine the 5th so we always like to celebrate together). We also had a bond fire!! I could go on and on about this trip but I don't want to bore you so here are some pictures.
