Not Boring

Sometimes I think that I have a boring life, and then I remember where and who I came from and remember that there has never really been a dull moment in my life. When I try to describe the family I came from, most people do not understand. So, pictures usually get the point across. Some of you may have seen these on facebook (click on the link and you can see the pictures even if you are not a member), but I’ll throw some on here for your viewing pleasure!!


The short version: My mom is in Mardi Gras Crewe (like a club) and she was the Dame Commander (in charge of the ball). The theme this year was the British Empire and all of the colonies. She had a "special" part because she was, of course, THE Dame Commander!!

My mother as the "SUN" that never sets on the British Empire (it's a long story!)

My Brothers and me at the Ball

My Fabulous Parents (who are on Facebooke, by the way--ridiculous!!)

I was also very blessed by my fabulous parents with a frequent flyer ticket to visit my fabulous boyfriend, Joe, in Boone, NC. (Thanks again, Mom and Dad!!) Joe and I were blessed with great weather and good friends to hang out with in Boone. As always, it was an amazing visit and I am more and more thankful that he is in my life.

Here we are before snowboarding--not quite Colorado, but it was so much fun to get to snowboard with Joe!!

And here's Manny--he's Joe's roommate and my friend! We love Manny!!

So, no, my life is not boring--it's actually really exciting! In two weeks, I went to Mardi Gras and to the Appalachian Mountains. I hung out with my family and with my boyfriend! My Jesus is so good to me.

Fall Foliage at its Finest

This past weekend I was blessed by Paula and David Vierling with a pass on American Airlines to visit my AMAZING boyfriend, Joe. We spent the weekend in Boone, NC--where he goes to school--and thoroughly enjoyed the fall foliage that North Carolina has to offer! We went on three different hikes (yes, I know, we are so active!), and I was able to meet all of his friends. Here are a few pictures of us enjoying the fall leaves!

I was also able to fulfill one of my "30 before 30" items. (30 things I want to do before I turn 30.) Enjoy!
