FALL

I think it is officially Fall here in Athens, GA. The weather has cooled off dramatically at night and the days are not getting too hot. It is wonderful!!

With October right around the corner I just wanted to give a shout out to all of my friends celebrating Anniversaries this month and next. Happy Anniversary to Michelle & Kelly, Kristen & Chad, and Adam & Amanda! Congrats!!

Spider?

We have a lot of spiders that hang out around the outside of our house (maybe we should use some bug spray) and yesterday I found a very strange looking thing in a spider web. After doing a little research I discovered that this weird looking thing is actually a Spiny Orb Weaver Spider. Check out this picture for a better view. I didn't want to get too close. Anyways...I didn't find anything on the spider that said it was poisonous so I am going to leave it alone even though it is a little creepy looking. Eventually it will find a new home.

4 Years

Well, today is my four year wedding anniversary with Eric. Unfortunately....he has the flu. Wah wah wah... This means that our plans to spend the weekend in Asheville, NC at a B&B have been put off for another month. I have to say it kind of stinks that I cant give my husband a kiss let alone a hug on our anniversary in fear of getting the flu myself. He has been sick for 5 days and I have managed to not get sick so I am not going to risk anything! So in October, I will be writing a post about our stay in Asheville and not posting about it on Monday (Yes I am throwing myself a pity party).

Back to the Anniversary....The last 4 years have been great and I love Eric just as much now (if not more) as I did when we got married. Since our last anniversary our lives have seemed to have gotten busier with school, church, and just doing more with our extra time but we still take time for our relationship. This is the reason we take a weekend every year to celebrate our marriage. I think it is important to take time out to recognize what you have and get away from the things that can distract you from it. Hopefully we can still spend some quality time together this weekend (with out getting too close) and I definitely look forward to our time in October that we will spend in Asheville.

Here are some pictures from over the years....

Amish Friendship Bread Results

Well, if you were wondering....I finally made my Friendship Bread (my first attempt failed because I didn't have all the ingredients I needed) and I think it turned out very good! It is more like a coffee cake than bread but it is still yummy. I think it will be good for breakfast tomorrow when I am in a hurry to run out the door. I have two starters left if anyone is interested! The stuff would be ready by next Friday. Let me know!

Cat Pee

How can this adorable little kitty cause so much trouble?? It is possible...our male cat (Heidegger) keeps peeing all over our furniture. First the couch in the basement now our good couch upstairs. No matter how many times I clean it he keeps on peeing. Our female cat (Rainy) has no problem going in the litter box...why cant her brother follow her example?? It is driving us insane!! How do we keep this little creature from peeing all over the house? Our first step, effective tomorrow, will be to lock him in the basement while we are not home. Then, sometime this week, I will be bringing him to the Vet to see if there is anything else we can do. He might just become an outdoors cat yet.

Things I am looking forward to...

1. Weekend away with my Hubby to Asheville, NC for our 4th Anniversary!
2. 1st Session classes are almost over (3 classes left!)
3. Watching UGA Football every weekend
4. Having Thursday nights free for 2nd Session classes
5. Getting my first check from my new job
6. Fall weather! Is it too early for me to start decorating?
7. Turkey!!!
