The week in review.....

Even though the presidential race didn't go our way, Ben and I enjoyed voting together for the second election in a row. We had a great time as we were in and out in 5 minutes. I am so glad that we weren't waiting for hours like some people.

We had Ben's ball on Thursday night. I must say that the guest speaker was the best that I have heard ever! It was very entertaining. It's also kind of exciting to be apart of all of the "firsts" for the squadron. The ball was in New Bern which is about an hour from our house so I was nervous leaving the kiddos but it went very well & we are so grateful to have such great friends. Thanks Kelly and JT!

Friday night I went to another going away party for my friend, Juli. As much as it stinks, it just seems like that is what our life is going to be for the next decade or so......lots of hellos & goodbyes. It was nice to just be out and be me......not someones wife or mommy, etc. I guess that it was good in that aspect!

Saturday, we went to Kendall's fall festival at St. Anne's. (Her PMO school.) She had a blast as did we since we got to visit with friends that we hadn't seen in a long time. It was great until Kendall wouldn't get out of the bouncy house and dear sweet mom had to climb in to get her! We picked Papa (Ben's dad) up on Saturday night. Kendall was VERY excited!! She shouted, "Papa come down here!" when the plane flew over the airport. We relaxed and visited on Saturday night.

Sunday, I had my first nursery desk duty for the committee that I belong to at church. I was nervous as I still don't know where everything is in our church but it went well. I had a baby shower for our friend Beth on Sunday afternoon.

Currently, we are getting ready for our annual family Christmas picture. I will be glad when that is done so that I can work on Christmas cards :-)

I will soon post pictures from all the recent activities....just bear with me as it has been an insane week!
