Happy Halloween

Colby is making his Halloween debut. I can't say he loves it but tolerates it well. Also, Adam was surprisingly not as discusted as I thought he would be. He even said he would dress him when people come over tonight. Crazy.

I'm off to Orlando today to see Christy and give her a baby shower. I'm SO excited to see her and see how pregnant she is. I know she's adorable! Hopefully Adam finds enough to do while I'm gone.... I think he's really excited to have the weekend to hang with some dudes. Our neighborhood is big into halloween. MOST houses have decorated majorly for the holiday. Our poor house only has the cute jack o'lantern my mom sent in the window. At least it's something. I'm assuming we will have lots of trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

Camping Pictures

We did platform camping. It was a total surprise. We had no idea we would have this little shelter thing. Our one thing we forgot was bug spray so we slept in the tent just in case it was to be a problem. It wasn't but I was still glad to have the tent. I felt a little more protected!

This one's for you Mom. It was a long hike so he was tired...



I mean really could I get much hotter


My good looking cook




The park was beautiful. It's about 1 1/2 north of Atlanta. Our site was hike in, so we weren't super prepared for that. We thought we had a car camping site. It was wonderful though and we will do it again. The trails were great to let Colby run free. He's a good hiker.

Colby and friends

Chris brought Buck to come hang out with us for a while. Colby and Buck were ready for the Auburn game. They got an Auburn football toy to share in honor of them game. But, the toy held up about as well as Auburn...



My parents puppy Oliver came to visit a couple weeks ago. He and Colby are brothers- they are SO funny together! Wish I had a better picture. Colbs in on the right and Oliver is on the left. Both dogs follow me and Mom at all times. Colby knows where I am always and follows every move I make. I read about English Cockers before I got one to think twice you if don't want a dog to follow you room to room. So true. He's sitting here on the couch against me as I type. He always has to be touching me.

Wicked

Adam and I went to the Fox Theater last night to see Wicked! I bought the tickets so long ago so we were anxiously awaiting Oct 25th to finally get here. Well, it was worth the wait. I had to work yesterday, so we rushed to get out so we weren't late and we made it just in time. We loved it- especially Adam. We would highly recommend it to anyone in the Atlanta area. I think it's only showing a couple more days. Good fun.

Emily and Kevin Visit

Our friends Emily and Kevin came to visit for Emily's fall break. Adam and Kevin were in the church nursery together so needless to say they go way back. I used to stay with Emily at Carson-Newman when I visited Adam in college. Emily's a great hostess! We had a wonderful time and are sad for them to leave! We shopped pretty much all of Atlanta- Adam and Kevin loved every minute of it, ate sushi, and enjoyed Caribou coffee. I went to H&M for the first time in Atlantic Station- fabulous! Emily, I really loved the new song you introduced to me about marriage. I would write about it but all I remember is that it was funny. Knowing words to songs is not one of my gifts. The fall weather has taken over so we had our first fire in the fireplace! That was something we looked for in a house to rent. I love it! Sadly, our week of fun is over. Now, I'm at work while Adam is at home. I'm very jealous if you can't tell. Just to clarify, Adam is very good at doing my chores and errands while I'm working. But, I want to do them. Not be here. I love my job- just not every day. It's rainy and cold and all I want is to lay on the couch and read a book by the fire. Bliss. Thirty more minutes and I'm so there. Hope you had a good Friday. I'll be here at work again tomorrow. And Sunday.

Laura Beth gave my this tag. I am so excited to be a real member of the blog world. :) Miss you!!!

1. I graduated high school with 34 people. It was way too small and I don't plan on sending my children to a school that small, although I did get a wonderful education.

2. I can't swallow without gulping if I'm drinking a lot of something. I know it's disgusting and I try really hard but I just can't do it. So, I have to take one sip at a time so it does not happen.

3. I hate it when people hover at my pharmacy counter so that I will fill their prescriptions faster. It drives me crazy and makes me retaliate and make them wait longer. So, when you go to the pharmacy do not hover! I really want to do a post about annoying pharmacy things so stay tuned.

4. I love breezeway in Auburn and really wish I could still eat it every day. My college roommates would never ask me what I wanted for lunch on Saturdays because they knew what the answer would be. I really love it.

5. I HATE ketchup. I do love tomatoes though. I know it doesn't make sense and I have tried to like it but I just don't. I do like sauces so it only makes sense that I would like ketchup. I give up. I just don't like it. Period.

6. I can quote pretty much the entire movie Father of the Bride. It is my absolute favorite.

7. On our honeymoon I got stung by 2 bees in one day- once on the beach and once at dinner. It was so strange. I had not been stung in since I was 4 years old. My grandfather is allergic to bees so my mom wouldn't let me go to sleep. I remember it so well. She was totally hovering. I asked around on the honeymoon and everyone who works there said they have never heard of anyone being stung at the resort.

So, I don't have 7 blog friends so all I can tag are Jessica Golden and Rachel. Kimberly you are tagged too because I know you are starting a blog soon...

College Friends

My college friends hold a very special place in my heart. As Adam and I like to say I am "especially fond" of them. They know me so well. Probably better than anyone. We lived together. Four girls. One room. Jessica Golden came in town this weekend, so she and Kimberly and I went to dinner together last night. We roughed it together for a year in the dorm sharing 1 room with 4 girls sleeping in it. Those were some hilarious nights. Jessica Smith and I shared a bunk and Kimber and Jess shared the other. We laughed late into the night every night. I don't know how we ever got any rest looking back at it. When we were awake we studied in our zebra pattern and hot pink carpeted room. Seriously? Who's idea was that? Very calm studying environment. Right.

Life can be difficult after college. Friends like that are hard to find. You bond so quickly sharing such a small space. You have no choice. Post-college friends take so much longer to bond with- occasional dinners and coffees every 3 weeks just does not allow you to be close and share experiences as quickly. That does not mean it is not worth it though. I continue to make that effort now in my life in Atlanta. Girl friends are so important to me and I believe I will always have them as a major role in my life.

I'm so blessed to have the college experience I had. It was incredible. I absolutely adore Auburn and the friends I got made there. I was not a die hard sorority girl, but all my best friends from college I met through it. That makes Alpha Gam totally worth it. Thanks for coming to town Jess so we could continue our friendship and bonds we made at Auburn. I'm lucky to have friends that value friendship as much as I do and continue to keep in touch on a regular basis.

This picture is last year of the 3 of us because we didn't take one last night.

Wedding Pictures

I absolutely adore my wedding pictures. If you're ever curious the address is www.adamlovessarah.com. I don't know how I will ever choose.

1 Year Older

Well, I am officially 27 years old. As of 7:08 pm on October 12th I celebrated a new year. It has been a big year so far- my first year in the working world, new HUSBAND!, new (well, rented) house, new puppy. I am very happy with this year so far! Adam and I went camping this weekend and had a fabulous time. As one of my friends said, "Sarah we hated camping" I don't know why I was so eager to go. Turns out not only do I not hate camping but I really enjoyed it. We went to the Apple Festival in Ellijay, GA, then camping at Fort Mountain State Park. Great weekend. Colby even got to come along for the ride! We hiked, cooked out, ate s'mores, and had some good Sarah and Adam time. We get so busy already with our lives that we don't get to spend enough uninterrupted time with one another as I would like. Anyway, it was a great weekend and I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it. I'm working 7 days in a row now so I need to go get my rest.
