Leaves, leaves, and more leaves!

Last weekend we started the first round of raking. It took us about an hour and we were very tired when we were done!! Now our yard is yet again covered with leaves. It always feels like a never ending battle. Last week the trees still looked full but now they are looking more bare than full. Hopefully that means less raking for us!

This is our first pile, trust me it is big!

Happy Anniversary!

Just wanted to say happy anniversary to my parents! We love you lots!

Fun with Peppers

So the other night we went to our friends place to watch the UGA vs. Auburn football game and to enjoy some yummy fajitas and margaritas! I was in charge of bringing rice and veggies (onion & peppers) for the fajitas. While I was cutting up some orange bell pepper I noticed how perfect the inside of the pepper was so I just had to get a picture of it! What do you think?? I love the design of the ridges of the inside of the pepper, the color, and the seeds! Anyways...tomorrow I am making sloppy joes and it calls for a red bell pepper....I wonder if it will be as beautiful as this one!

Christmas Cactus

Three years ago my mom gave me a cutting of her Christmas Cactus and over the past 3 years it really hasn't grown much and it has only bloomed once. A few weeks ago I brought it in from outside so when it got cold it wouldn't freeze. That is when I noticed small little buds stating to form on the tips of the cactus. Needless to say I was very excited! Now it has a few blooms open and more to come. Hopefully I can get it to bloom again soon!

Week in Review

Sorry this is late! This past week was insane!! Most of the week I spend studying for my Accounting mid-term. When I wasn't studying I was trying to keep my brain from exploding from all the equations and definitions I needed to know for my test.

Thursday night was the 5th of November and our friends Bethany and Jason always have a 5th of November party. So we went over to their house for a chili cook off (never figured out who won) and watched V for Vendetta out side on the "big screen" (AKA a sheet hanging off the garage). It was cold out so we all had to bundle up and we even had a little fire going. It was a fun night and the move was good.

Friday night Eric and I drove out to Atlanta to see his Uncle Dwane who was in town for a conference. We had dinner at Einsteins and the food was very good. We decided to split their Peaches Pound Cake and OMG was it delicious! I wish I could have some more!! :)

The rest of the weekend was spent studying. We didn't even get to watch the GA game because it was on pay-per-view. It turns out it wasn't that exciting anyways. At least we won!

Last night was my mid-term and I really dont think I did that well. At this point I am praying for a curve...I think that is the only thing that will save me. After my test I tried to forget about everything and watched my favorite Monday night shows with Eric while drinking a tall glass of wine. :) Unfortunately nothing made me forget about the test and I ended up dreaming about accounting equations all night long! Hopefully tonight I will sleep better!!

The good and the bad.

The Good: We finally have heat in the house! YEAH! The siding people are going to be done today. YEAH! Tonight we are going to have dinner in Atlanta with Eric's Uncle Dwayne while he is in town for a conference. YEAH!

The Bad: Tomorrow and Sunday I will be studying Managerial Accounting. BOO. I can not do anything else because I am making a C in the class and I can not get a C without having to re-take it. BOO. This class is stressing me out. BOO!!!

Just had to vent a little :)
