Whew! We had a jam packed weekend filled with lots of fall activities! Friday I played "sick" from work and got tons of stuff done around the apartment! I cleaned out our spare bedroom closet, switched my closet from summer to fall, took a few loads of trash out, donated quite a few bags of clothes to the goodwill, and packed up some things to start taking back to KY! Grant got home a little early from work, so as soon as we got the car loaded we got in and started towards Kentucky for the weekend festivities!
Friday night we were so excited we got to spend time with Megan and Tyler! We met them at their house and then headed to Murray to eat at a new Chinese/Hibachi place that Grant and I had not been to yet. It was awesome to get to catch up with them and spend some time relaxing! Megan is pregnant and due in December, although she looks like she just found out, so of course we talked plenty of baby, checked out the shower gifts they got, and got a preview of the baby's room. Fun night!
Saturday morning we were scheduled to go look at a couple of houses in North Marshall, so Grant, Kem, and I went and checked them out. The first one we went to we knew right away it was a dud. Ten minutes later we were on to the next one! The second one we saw we actually really liked! Its roomy, has a few updates, and in a great location! We are going to look at a few more next weekend so we can compare, but at least we are starting to get some options!
After the house hunt, we ate lunch, and then headed to Paducah to help my twin cousins get ready for their Homecoming dance. I went to their hair appointment with them and then helped them with their makeup. They looked beautiful!

After the girls left for the dance, we went to eat with Brandon and Janet and then went back to their house to watch the Cardinals pull off a win in the World Series! We thought the game was pretty much over, so we pulled out some home videos that had my dad in them. He passed away when I was ten, so its hard for me to remember what his voice sounded like and some of his mannerisms. Luckily, Janet had a few videos from Christmas and Thanksgiving that were awesome to get to watch! After we watched the videos, we realized the game was all the sudden tied! We finished out the game and watched the Cardinals win on a interference play! Yay!
Sunday, we went to church, grabbed a bite to eat, and then got ready to go to Kurt and Tracy's for our annual family pumpkin party! Our numbers were a little down this year, but we still had a great time! Mine and Grant's pumpkin was supposed to be a porcupine, but turned out to be terrible.
Here is the finished project! The pumpkin was a little wet, so when we plugged in the lights after poking them through the holes, we might have turned off the breaker, shocked Lisa Parker, and only half of the strand worked! haha! We ended up being disqualified from the judging!!
The winning pumpkins...Burt and Ernie!
All the pumpkins on display!

Everyone with their pumpkins!
After the pumpkin judging and the spooky hayride, Grant and I headed back to Nashville! Whew! It was a busy weekend, but we wouldn't have it any other way! Lot's of memories made and good times with friends and family! Can't believe Halloween is already this week!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
