New Bookshelf!

We have finally unpacked the last of the boxes in our apartment! There were a few left full of books, and when we couldn't find the right bookshelf to fit our space...we made one! Actually, I can't say "we" on this at all. Caleb did an amazing job!

I was supposed to take pictures with it empty...but I got too excited and started filling it with books before I remembered.

Halloween!

What are we going to be for Halloween?! We asked that about one hundred times, never really figuring anything out until the last minute. So we used what we had... an awesome Ski onesie from Newbees in Buena Vista and Caleb's red union suit. He was an old prospector, I was a ski-bum. But together we were "Onsie in Christ".


To all our friends who have kids, your halloween blog pictures were way cuter. But until we have kids of our own...our pictures will continue to be rediculous. Hope you all had a great holiday!

Southern Hospitatlity

It was off to Clemson, South Carolina for the wedding of Mark Loyd (Caleb's Cousin) and Brittany Robinson (our god friend and fellow intern from Crooked Creek!). The weekend started off with a bang..or maybe I should say a crash. An unexpected ice storm came in over night leaving the interstates more like skating rinks. After seeing several spin-outs and accidents we were driving very carefully. But careful doesn't matter when you hit a patch of ice. We swerved one way, we swerved the other and ran right into the guard rail, then spun around and hit it again! A jarring way to start off our trip. The car was still drivable (the major damage was just to the front and rear bumpers). So we continued on to the airport. Thankfully we made it on our flight (due to the weather, there were a lot of people who missed their flight. Sad for them, but us non-revs rejoice!). They now have live TV on the newer Delta aircrafts. Which is really exciting for us since we don't have cable at home. I had to soak it in! As I was browsing I kept nudging Caleb to look at what was on. He was trying to sleep...

"Caleb, look! Paula Dean is making brownies"

death stare, nod, close eyes

"Caleb...animal planet! Look at the cheetah!"

longer death stare, close eyes

"Caleb...caleb"

Ok, at this point he wanted to strangle me with the airplane blanket...

"College Game Day! They have ESPN"

Well look who perked right up! Grabbed his head phones and got to watching.

Our travel arrangements were with the legendary Pete Buhls of Jasper, GA (one of our intern friends). So good to see him and witness the Notorious BIG sing-a-long that started about halfway through the two hour drive to Clemson.

The Rehearsal Dinner was at The Pompous Pig in Anderson and I'm pretty sure we all ate way too much BBQ. It was delicious!

It's a little blurry, but that's a Yuengling, America's oldest brewery. Only distributed in the East, well worth the trip



Robot Arm! Brita, it's because we're jealous.


Crooked Creek Interns!


We had to throw in a shakey face pic.

Here's the big day! Ceremony and reception at The Madran Center in Clemson, SC.
