Labor Day Weekend

Nothing too exciting to report, but I hadn't "blogged" in awhile...
This weekend started off with a lovely wedding on Friday night. Two of our young friends from church tied the knot in Charlotte and are off to a honeymoon in Gatlinburg!! Hey! Nice choice!
Saturday morning we just hung out until church. I had to put up a huge jungle scene for the kiddos. They loved it and all went well. Saturday night we went out to dinner with friends (my co-worker Jody, her husband, and their two boys) at Jason's Deli. It was a nice time of getting to know each other better.
Sunday after church we went for a little hike at Latta Nature Preserve. The kids were troopers as usual. Twice we saw a deer run by us! Bonus! When we returned home we had a message waiting for us from our neighbors up the street, Cameron and Kristi. They have a 12 year old daughter and a 6 year old little boy. They invited us up for dessert. It was such a beautiful evening and nice to get to know them better as well.
This morning I ran to get some groceries and we made a picnic lunch. After a quick stop to pick up a new mattress for Rachel, we headed to Crowder's Mt. State Park. We ate as soon as we got there and then took a hike around the lake. We also visited the Visitor's Center. Then we took another little hike and headed back to our car. We were all hungry, and it was only 3 o'clock. So, we headed back towards home and stopped at an Applebees on the way. YUM!! We stuffed ourselves! While we were out that way, we went into the Walmart for a birthday gift and then headed home. It was a long day.
Rachel wants to play outside a little before a bath and to bed. School tomorrow! Aaron's first day is tomorrow as well! HOORAY!! I'm going to head off to the gym with Summer as soon as I drop him off! DOUBEL HOORAY!!
So, that's all that's happening here. Just thought I'd give you a litte update. Hope you aren't too bored....
