Dancing with the stars! (November 9)

Today I spent the day with my sister and brother-in-law. They both had the day off, so we thought some time together would be nice. Our adventure for the day was by far one of the funniest I have had (yes, I know I have only been doing this for a few days). We played baseball, tennis, darts and even had a dance competition. I caught quite a bit of this on video, but a certain someone in a few of the videos, won't let me post them here.

Here are a few of the best pictures. (I really need a good camera, my phone can't take a decent picture when light or movement are involved).

Baseball with Jon, tie game due to the world's most amazing fake catch.

Shake it momma!

All work, all play. (November 8)

Yesterday I mentioned having the un-joyous task of de-mantling my mother's halloween village. Well I don't think I fully explained what halloween is like at her house. My mother and step-dad dream halloween. Their decorations are the envy of the neighborhood. Let me just put it this way, if you haven't been to their house for halloween before... make the trip next year. They are always improving and getting more creative, and they put a lot of time and effort into making it fun for everyone.

Sadly, I only took one picture of one section of their house before I took it all down and boxed it up. The decorations are a lot less fun to look at when they are all shoved into a box...

Here's what I have for you. The mad scientist's bookshelf. Enjoy!

The thing I missed most about NC? (November 7)

Today my adventure was a goodie. I got the chance to revisit one of my favorite places in North Carolina. I can't tell you how many times I frequented this place while in college, it was truly a source of pure joy. Here it is ladies and gentlemen, my adventure for the day.


I also had the un-joyous task of de-mantling my mother's halloween village. She really did an amazing job, here are a few pictures to give you an idea of the effort she puts in.

Yellow Belt Status (November 6)

Today my mom, stepdad and I all visited my pregnant sister and her husband. What a fun trip! It was great catching up with those two, haven't gotten to sit and talk with them in a long time! About halfway through the day, Maddie (my sister's unborn daughter) began kicking. I personally have never felt a baby kick before, what a fun experience! It felt like little pulses in my sister's stomach. We decided that Maddie has achieved yellow belt status, can't wait to see what comes next!

Back in NC (November 5)

Remember Remember the 5th of November. I will definitely remember this day, although not at all for the same reasons. This was the day of my return to NC, the day my family got together to celebrate me!

Only one thing stood in the way of it being a perfect day. I was greeted at my bedroom door by this....

Dinner with the family was crazy as always but that's why restaurants love us!

Good Start to the 365 project!
