Happy Fall Yall

I had to start this post with a little celebration...today is the first official day of Fall ;)! It is my FAVORITE time of year! I have been burning my Pumpkin Yankee Candle from Leigh Ann all week and I just L-O-V-E it!

About the weekend...

Friday I left work a little early so that Web and I could make a few more selections for our house. We picked out our carpet, tile, living room furniture, bedroom furniture, and all of our paint. The amazing thing...we did it all w/out one argument! We are very easy going, non-confrontational people so building our house has been a JOY!


Here is the most recent picture I have of the house. They SHOULD start on insulation this week and hopefully I will have pics on the inside soon ;).

Saturday I got up early, made muffins, and played with Vance until I met the galz to go to Bowling To Build. The Junior League of Murfreesboro New Member Class planned, organized, and hosted an event to raise money for Habitat ;). It meant so much to me!!!


Here is a picture of the family who will be receiving the home! They even got to bowl which elated my heart ;).


The galz and I at Bowling to Build! We had so much fun helping out and watching our New Member Class pull off a successful event!!! I am so happy that I have friends with such giving hearts ;).

Saturday night was more playing and can I just say I love this age!!! It seems as though Vance's vocabulary is slowly starting to expand. His new words are cow, moo, shoes, elmo, car, amen, thanks, and bubble! He has the SWEETEST personality and he is so much fun!!!!

Sunday was spent like it should be...watching football with great friends and eating delicious food ;). Web, Vance, and I headed over to Meag's house for some bbq, smashed tators, beans, and chocolate chip pecan pie. Vance was so good and took a two hour nap while we watched the Titans game. They won by the way ;)!!


When Vance woke up he was ready to PLAY! Meag has a GREAT backyard so we went out there, ran around, kicked a little ball, and took some adorable pics. Meag, I can't wait to see them!!! Vance is taking a breather in this pic ;)! He loves his Titans just like his mama ;).


This is Vance giving Chris a hug ;)! Vance's first name is Christopher and he was named after the sweet guy he is hugging. I love that Vance is a hugger!


To top off the already phenomenal weekend, the American Team won the 2008 Ryder Cup! It has taken them 9 years to win the cup back and the team did it without...Tiger Woods ;)! Go Team USA!

ENJOY THIS FIRST DAY OF FALL!

Yay to good food, fun, and fall! it was a wonderful weekend! thanks so much for driving Saturday and for coming Sunday with your famous (in my book, anyway) chocolate chip pecan pie - YUMMMMM!!!!!!

The house looks great! I can't wait for the insulation and drywall so we can really see the inside... SO EXCITING! It's looking like it will be ready for our Country Christmas Hoedown (I don't really know how to spell that - lol).

You TOTALLY made my day. I just got your sweet message. I was so disappointed I missed your call. I think I was blogging right then and didn't hear the phone. LOL! I just checked it and was so happy to hear your sweet voice. I'll call you tomorrow. I miss you galz so much!

Your house is looking gorgeous. I know you have to be SOOOO excited. It won't be long now. I just read Meag's comment...Country Christmas Hoedown??? Now, that sounds like F-U-N!

Your time at Meag's sounds like so much fun. I need that pie recipe. Yum! I'm so glad you are enjoying your candle. Happy, happy Fall!

I wish I could get a hug like that from Vance. Maybe next time, right? I bet Chris doesn't squeal like a girl and that probably makes a big difference. LOL! That is so sweet that he loves Chris so much and that he is named after him. Awww!

Your house is looking GREAT!!! I can't wait to see more. How fun to get to watch your home building journey unfold.

What a fun JL project! That pic of the family at the bowling alley was so sweet, but not sweeter than that pic of your guys. Oh my goodness! Love that!
