Fall Pics

Catherine shot some photos of us around the house this weekend. Thought I'd share a bit.

Birthday Boy

Yesterday was David's 33rd birthday!! I (kk) drove down to Starkville to celebrate with him. Unfortunately, he is sick. I hope he wished to get better!!


I surprised him with a little cake!!


A bunch of fellow meteorology students met us at "Cowbells" in Starkville. I might add that there was A LOT of weather talk. So, David had a great time!!


Another friend of David's called to wish him happy birthday on Jason's phone.....As you can see, he was wary of David's germs.

NWA Awards

David recently presented his thesis work at a national conference. He placed second on his poster presentation (a really big deal in the scientific world).

Check it out!!

DAVID'S AWARD

I'm so proud of him!!

Pumpkin Carving

Last night, I (kk) went over to Peggy's & we carved pumpkins...here's a few (I know they aren't lit... hopefully, they'll be better with candles inside).

She did a monkey face!!

I did the bat & "EEK!!" one..

I love fall!!

Walking in Memphis

David & I (kk) had a great weekend. We went to visit one of my dearest friends, Anna. We enjoyed getting out of town "together" finally!! Friday night, she took us to a great taco shop,"Swanky", in Germantown. It's similar to Chipotle, but decidely better. Afterwards, the three of us spent the rest of the night being the big nerds that we are.......reading a personality book...(which explains David's previous post).

Saturday, we hit the mall......in hopes of finding David a shirt to wear at Wes's wedding. Thankfully, Macy's was having a huge sale on menswear. We found his shirt in 5 minutes.

Personalities

We're in Memphis, TN for the night spending time with Anna. Right now (well, not RIGHT NOW b/c I wrote this some time in the past, but you understand) we're reading about our personalities and how they affect marriages. Karen is ESTJ and I'm INTP if you're into personality types. She's an Executor and I'm a Theorist. Karen has just corrected me...she is an Executioner...I "sit" corrected.

Leaving vs Boarding Jack

We're leaving for tonight to visit one of my (kk) dearest friends (Anna) in Memphis. So, we had to decide whether to board Jack or have someone come over to feed & walk him tomorrow.
After twisting Margaret's arm, she agreed to take care of our little canine. He's a big boy & can be somewhat intimidating(he's a doberman). He's a sweetie pie, if he's been introduced to you by his parents!! Margaret is a tried & true dog person (having 5 dogs herself).
Jack loves to board. Strange right?! We board him at the vet's office that we adopted him from. The girls spoil him rotten. They had him for 4.5 months because they just couldn't put him down. So, it's like his second home. He's their prince, and he knows it!!
No worries Jack!! Margaret will love on you!!

Making/Packing David's lunches

I have started cooking healthier....Last night, after supper....We made vegan spaghetti for David to take with him to school. I love the last picture of David straining the whole grain pasta....and the steam has completely fogged up his glasses.

Trip Home

I(kk) got to see my little brother, Matt, and his wife, Kellie. They recently bought 72 acres near my grandparents. So, we took a tour of their future home site. I'm so proud of him!!


My grandfather sacrificed his last watermelon of the season for my visit. We had a great time gorging ourselves on the sweet meat.

Saturday,I washed and curled my grandmother's hair at her beauty shop. She felt like a million bucks for church on Sunday.


Being there refreshes something deep within me. I proud to have my roots in that fertile soil. My memories are long and my heart full. God has blessed me beyond my greatest expectations.

Anniversary Surprise

Well, David got me good..... We celebrated this weekend because David spends his weeks in Starkvegas. Low & behold.....when I got home last night. My husband was there waiting for me. It was a wonderful surprise!!! He took me out again to celebrate.(Good thing I didn't have plans!!) For the record, I have the best husband in the world!!!
