Thanksgiving Vacation 2007

This blog will have a lot of pictures so get ready. Josh and I just returned from a week long Thanksgiving vacation. We had an amazing time and did soooo much in just a week. While we were there we had a baby shower, Clemson football game, anniversary getaway in Asheville, hiked to water falls, and spent time with family and friends. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. It was nice to have a break like this before we meet our daughter in just 7 short weeks!

So here are some pictures from our vacation. (There are so many pictures than I can't post all of them on the blog. CLICK HERE to see a slide show of all the pictures from the week.)

First was our baby shower. We were so thankful to see everyone who was able to make it and for their generous gifts. I was very surprised that some of my guy friends actually purchased some baby girl gifts. WAY TO GO GUYS! The party was thrown by my sweet friend Jennifer Breaux and my mom. They did a fabulous job and the occassion was special.

The next day we were off to Josh's first Clemson football game. We started off tailgating at my Uncle Greg's "Orange apartment". After that, we strolled around and visited various tailgates.

Josh and I started off watching the game from the upper deck. Not so much fun at 7 months pregnant to hike up to section JJ of the upper deck. BUT it was all worth it to spend some time with Jessica Dean and her boyfriend Brian.

After spending the first half of the game in the upper deck we made it down to the side lines. Thanks to my dad, Josh and I were able to enjoy the game so close that we could reach out and touch the players. It was awesome and one of Josh's favorite things about our vacation.

The next few days we spent in the mountains near Asheville, NC. We went to Cesars Head, Pretty Place, Devils Kitchen and hiked to Hooker and Triple Falls. While we were in Asheville we celebrated our one year anniversary/baby moon. We had a peacful stay at a bed and breakfast called the Princess Ann.

The last few days of our vacation was spending time with family for Thanksgiving. We spent 2 days with my dad and 2 days with my mom.

It was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed every min of it. There were so many more things we did and people we got to visit. To see all of our pictures CLICK HERE.

Halloween Party

Josh and I hosted a Halloween party for the 10th graders this year. It was so much fun! Can you guess who Josh and I are dressed up as? If you guessed Mary and Joseph then you are right! We had to find a way to play off the big belly. Our friend Kaylee helped us out with the idea. Kaylee is the chicka in the batman out fit.

The kids that came were all dressed up and ready for fun. We had lots of food, a strobe light and a fog machine. We even did a little dancing too! And yes! I even participated with the belly. One thing I didn't participate in was the bobbing for apples.

We did something funny with the apples. We decided to put 2 fake apples in the bucket. It was pretty funny when one of the guys tried to get one of them but couldn't bite down. Funny thing is that he somehow managed to get it out. Big strong mouth I guess.

Check out this picture of the guys bobbing. Who's the winner? All of that and they tied!

It was a fun and enjoyable Halloween for us, the kids and the other highschool leaders. To view more pictures of the party click here
