Kyle and I had a much needed, relaxing beach weekend. We met up with 5 other couples down at Fort Caswell. The weather was awesome and we got to spend the weekend having fun, getting to know our friends better and talking about marriage stuff since it was a Couples Retreat. The leaders gave us different projects and activities to complete with each other and the hardest one was definitely the Kite contest. Each couple spent Saturday afternoon making a kite that was supposed to fly. They gave us a roll of tape and kite string and we were on our own. We couldn't use anything we brought or buy anything. ha. Building things is most definitely not mine or Kyle's specialty but it was still fun. We failed miserably and the only points we received were for effort and for being on time for the contest. :) Anyway, I know other people took pictures, unlike me, so maybe I can steal some and post them eventually.
Oh yes, and I can't forget to add that this Saturday is our first Upward football game. My 2nd and 3rd graders are so excited and have their cheers all ready to perform. They are going to be so cute in their little uniforms and hair ribbons. I should probably take pictures, haha. And I think Kyle's team is ready for their game, maybe? I think they might have some not-so-athletic kids on their team. haha. That's always fun. Anyway, should be a good time.
PS - I bargained with my manager for the Friday after Thanksgiving off so we are officially Myrtle Beach bound!!! woohoooooo!!! :)

Labor Day Weekend
As usual our weekend was busy!
One of my good friends Jeremy that I've known since middle school got married Saturday! Kyle was a groomsman so Friday we had the rehearsal and dinner (which I missed because I had to work 2 hours late, grrr) and then Saturday was the big day. It was one of the sweetest weddings I've been to. It was a simple, laid-back country wedding, representing Jeremy and Bethany perfectly. I had a few emotional moments, surprise surprise. We are so super happy for them though, especially Jeremy, he's been through a lot and he so deserves to be happy!
Sunday we had a cookout for lunch at my parents house and the g-parents came up! It's always a good time to see them. Then shortly after lunch Kyle and I had to be rude and isolate ourselves on the internet to do our Fantasy Football Draft. It only took an hour and a half, holy cow! But I got my top two picks so it's all good. We are playing with 6 other super competitive people like ourselves so it should be a fun season. And of course we had to finish out the day with the NASCAR race. (My boy Kasey Kahne won btw!)
Thankfully today we both have off work! We could both use some down time. We are super excited about next weekend though. We are headed to Fort Caswell at Oak Island with our newly married Sunday school class!! We haven't been to the beach in a while so we're due to go!
Happy Labor Day everyone!!
