Fall Fun

October has been super busy for both me and Leslie! Leslie took his comps last week and is working hard on his thesis, and the education department has a National Accreditation team coming in this afternoon that we've been busy preparing for. Hopefully things will slow down for both of us soon!

Even with all our crazyness, we've had time for some fall fun! Pumpkin carving was a must every fall for my family, so I decided Leslie needed some more pumpkin carving experience.

We were quite proud of our little jack-o-lantern!

When we got a cold snap, Leslie made some delicious chili for dinner :)

Mom made two prints of all of our wedding pictures and got albums so she and dad could have one and Leslie and I could have one. Unfortunately, the pictures were all mixed up and most were printed 4 times instead of two! It took a ton of time to get them all sorted, so I decided to take a little break from them before putting them in the albums :)

I finally found some fall-ish flowers that suited me, and two sweet ladies from church brought us some pretty roses when we joined :)

So, overall we're both doing great! I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

Fall Break

Last week we had Monday and Tuesday off for Fall Break and it was wonderful! Leslie's mom and grandmother came Friday night and took us to eat at our favorite place in town, Hana :). On Saturday, Leslie had to work most of the day. I went with Leslie's mom and grandmother to Front Street to the "Return to the 50s" classic car show. I'm not much of a car person, but they sure knew a lot! The weather was wonderful and it was fun walking around and looking.

Leslie was able to meet us for lunch and we ate at a place called Papa's downtown. It's attached to Mama's, and it's owned by a husband and wife. They share a kitchen, but Mama's is an oyster house and Papa's is a bit more sandwichy. We love going there for their fried onions and jalapenos!

After lunch, Leslie had to get back to get ready for the football game. Since he had to be at the game, we decided that we would go watch! We ended up losing, but it was a very close game!

We all got to eat dinner together after the game, and they stayed for church and lunch on Sunday.

Baseball decided to take part in the Fall Break, so Leslie didn't have to work AT ALL on Monday and didn't have to go in on Tuesday until the evening! We slept in on Monday and then decided to have a picnic lunch by the river. We were itching to use our adorable picnic basket and blanket that we had gotten from friends for our wedding! The weather was wonderful and we had time to relax and read and feed lots of ducks.

After that, we went to Chili's and to watch Courageous with some sweet friends from our Sunday School class!

It was a great weekend and break, but it went by too fast, as usual!
