October

The month of October has not been the traditional dry and beautiful month here in Atlanta, it rained most of the first two weeks, but now we have enjoyed this past week of great sun!

Jarod's almost done with the outdoor kitchen, he just has to put the last finishing touches on it and I'll be posting pictures.

This weekend we are having some friends over Saturday to watch football, and next weekend we are going to Marcy and Cleo's for Halloween and also to celebrate Jarod's birthday a little early.

My mom came down last Friday and we had a really nice visit Friday and Saturday. Saturday night we went to our friends Erika's birthday dinner which was SO fun! And then Sunday we had a wedding which was beautiful.

The leaves haven't changed much, I think because it's been a different season mostly in October, we have had a lot of January type weather with low's in the 30's and rain and high's in the 50's so I am hoping they might change I just LOVE the fall!!

Hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for all the up coming holiday! I can't believe we are so close to the end of the year!

I will be posting pics VERY SOON! The last few months I have been VERY BUSY and just haven't had a chance to do it, but I will post pics of the outdoor kitchen and some other fun links!

Miss everyone!

Narvo

As soon as I get the pictures from my friend Kristin who went with us (my camera died up there), I will post the pictures of the weekend, but for now I thought I would fill everyone in on our amazing weekend!!!

Jarod and I flew up to Milwaukee last Friday September 25. We arrived and went straight to the baseball game. Chris Narveson is one of Jarod's best friends from high school and he now plays for the Brewers, he went pro after high school and has worked his butt off over the last 9 year to make it to the big leagues but he's there! He was supposed to be the starting pitcher that night, but due to a change in the schedule he ended up pitching the Wednesday before we arrived. He threw a great game against the cubs and he impressed all the brewer's fans!

When we got to the game it was raining, which was fine because they play in a dome there, which was amazing I haven't ever seen a baseball game played in a dome and it was really cool! Afterwards we had passes to the club house where we met Narv and some of the other players. Narv hadn't eaten anything so he took us (me Jarod Bo and Kristin) out to dinner at a wonderful steakhouse called Mo's all of our food was amazing!!

Saturday we got moving early, headed down to the field with Narv around 11:00am (the game wasn't until 6). We had a private tour of the ENTIRE stadium! Jarod and Bo got to go in the locker room and they said it was amazing. We got to sit in the dougout and and the coolest part of the whole thing was getting to sit in the stands, during BP (batting practice) and catch home run balls from some of the biggest names in baseball. The brewers were playing the Phillies that weekend so there a lot of great players there! We cought 7 total! It was so cool. After Kristin and I had almost been hit several times we decided to head back down to the field. We stayed there on the field right beside home plate watching them hit until the start of the game.

It was their last home series so it was totally sold out! They won both Friday night and Saturday night. After the game we all went out with Narv's friends on the team and had a great time! Everyone was so funny and interesting. It was an amazing weekend!

We are all so proud of Narv he is doing so well! We watched him pitch against the Rockies this past Tuesday on TV and he did well again, although they lost in 11 innings he didn't get the lose. He really seems comfortable there and it was so neat to get to share that experience with him!

Maybe one day he'll be playing for the braves :)
