Trunk-N-Treat

We had a Bama Tailgating theme for Trunk-n-Treat tonight at church. Mainly because Jim and Tara had all the stuff we needed and no one had to by anything. Some kids would not even take our candy because of the Bama stuff. Haha! They just kept running by and yelling "GO BULLDOGS" It was alot of fun and there were some really cute costumes. This picture below was my favorite of them all. I gave him a ton of candy. I think i kind of freaked him out cause I got so excited when he came up to our booth. Who would have guess you would see this in Columbus?

Family Birthdays

So this week is Mr. Mark's and Chase's birthdays. We already celebrated Saturday night with a bonfire but I decided to make a pot of gumbo and have more cake and ice cream last night. I got a friend of mine to make this cake for them which looks like one of Mr. Mark's tractors. He loved it! It was so good too! Although the Richards do not do birthdays like Pourciaus, Im getting them to celebrate a little more each year and this time I got them to spread out the celebration to a week! Progress! Since Halloween is Friday that means that Casey's Birthday Season officially starts Saturday! Yea! Im ready!

What was your favorite part of the weekend?

We had a busy weekend...again! I spent most of the day Saturday painting my new china cabinet. Ill post a picture of it soon. Leigh and her friend Kristy came over Saturday to cook us a Vegan dinner and have some fall fun. They made a big pot of lentil soup, greek salad and baked apples. It was all really good! After dinner we went out on the porch and carved some pumpkins. Can you look at the pumpkins above and tell who did each pumpkin. One was mine, one was my friend Tara and then one was Leigh's. I think it is pretty obvious. To see more pictures, check out my facebook. Have a good week. Im off to bed! Night!

Fireproof

We had a wonderful weekend! I was not on call (yea!) and decided to hit some garage sales with my mom-in-law. I was actually up by 7:30 Saturday which I know is hard to believe. We found some amazing deals and I finally found a china cabinet for my kitchen that I have been looking for. All it needs is a little paint and some knew knobs on the drawers. Im very excited to have more storage! We also went through our junk and started a garage sale pile. The Richards are having one next week and I figured it was a good time to clean out the closets. Stephen hates getting rid of stuff. He always says "You never know when you will need it." I want to chunk it all! Im finally rubbing off on him though and he put a few things in the pile. Im so proud! Of course we watched Bama play (and win!). Sunday we had a great time of worship in church and then went to see Fireproof with our friends, the Blakes. Everyone that is married neeeeeeedddssss to go see it. There is something in it for everyone. I was crying by the end along with everyone else in the theater. It was so nice to be sitting in a movie theater and watching a good movie that was clean and had Christain music and actually shared the gospel in the story line. This will definitly be one that we add to our collection as soon as it comes out. It really is a great reminder of how we need to treat our spouse and really value our marriage and make it a priority but always keep your realtionship with God first. I really cannot say enough about this film. Please go see it and support it so we will get more movies like this.
One another note, we are headed to Baton Rouge this Friday. Im so ready to see some Pourciaus and get a hug from my grandparents! Im really looking forward to our Sunday family lunch. I miss them all so much. Ill post some pictures next week when we get home!

LSU vs Auburn

So to show that my family Im still a LSU fan at heart I decided to throw a LSU party Saturday night for our friends Jim and Tara. I just wanted to hangout, watch the game and spread a little Louisiana culture in Alabama. I made a big pot of Jambalaya and we had french bread and salad and enjoyed the game. I was a nervous wreck the whole time and was screaming my head off at the tv, but we had a blast (especially since LSU won) I have tried not to rub it in too much here in Alabama but it is just so hard! Here are some pictures of us representin' our teams and a picture of my table decorations. It is hard to find anything LSU here so I had to be a little creative. There is only so many purple and yellow things sold here in Bama country. I love watching football and glad that we have friends that can enjoy it with us. Hope yall have a good week! We are just busy as usual and working. I have to take call this weekend for the first time and Im a little nervous. Hope it goes smoothly!

HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! It felt so good when I walked outside this morning. It was so nice not to be sweating all day at work! I was so excited about the weather, I decided to make chili for supper. It was so good. I have been waiting for the first day that was not 1000 degrees so that I could make some homemade chili. We already have plans to go to a pumpkin patch and several more football games. Ill post pictures when we carve pumpkins. Im even going to get mums Saturday for my porch. Basically, Im excited and wanted to share it.
