Pumpkins!

*They were HUGE*

I break for pumpkins!

We went to the Nashville Farmer's market yesterday for the Fall Festival and it was so fun! I couldn't help myself with all the pumpkins they had : ). There are some pretty crazy things you can buy at the Farmer's Market....pretty crazy. We stuck with the normal things like tomatoes, basil, chow chow, and apples! I made a lasagna today with the tomatoes and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Let me know if you want the recipe and I can email it to you.


*Enjoying the fall weather*

VU is on fall break next week so we are just relaxing and trying to catch up on some house work. We have lots to do for our upcoming Halloween party. I cannot wait! We already have our costumes and everything. Also, our friends Paulyna and Chris are coming up for it! Yippee I'm super excited.

Last night we saw the new Leonardo Dicaprio movie "Body of Lies." It is a CIA action type of film and we thought it was pretty good. I'm not sure if I would pay to see it again, but Leo isn't too bad too look at for two hours!

Oh....I almost forgot. We took the boys to the dogpark today because it was so beautiful outside. Jeremy was sitting on the sidewalk petting another dog and Ernie walked up behind him and peed all over his back! I was mortified, but started laughing at the same time. What dog does this? Apparently ours! He has never done this before so I have no explanation. Luckily, Jeremy thought it was pretty funny too.

Last, but not least, our friends Kevin and Lindsey got engaged last weekend! They have been dating since we all were in high school together, so we were very excited for them. It's about time! We can't wait to celebrate!

We hope you have a relaxing weekend as well. Get outside and enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Go Falcons!

Falcons beat THE Bears this past Sunday...yippeee! Unfortunately, they don't usually show the Falcons' games here so we weren't able to watch it-but we are still pretty pumped that despite all the critics they are doing pretty great so far this season. Hopefully, we will be able to find a place that shows their games so we can get our football fix!
One big reason for the win is this guy: Mr. Matt Ryan



That's for you Bri ;)

GOOOOOOOOOO FALCONS!!!!

service

This past weekend we had the opportunity to volunteer with Hands on Nashville at Cohn Adult high school. PGSA, an organization I'm involved with through Vanderbilt, sent volunteers and it was such a great experience to be able to help beautify a local school. We painted a handicap ramp and an art classroom.
In light of current events, the presidential election, school, the economy failing, we are trying really hard to not get worried and instead focus on service to others. Somehow when you see the abundant needs of those in your community, it helps you to realize your problems aren't so bad. When we moved to Nashville Jeremy and I really wanted to re-prioritize service as an important aspect of our lives. I think the opportunity to work in the Dominican Republic this summer opened our hearts to God's calling for us to be better servants. Anyway, this week has been busy (as I'm sure all of you can attest to), but it is a good busy. The kind where we get home at night and are thankful for our daily commitments, but also thankful to have eachother and a place to call home. Nashville is finally growing on us and especially the fall weather here (have I mentioned how much I love fall).
Soooo....come visit us!

B&E

It has been beautiful here in Nashvegas this whole week. The boys and I took advantage of the weather by playing outside and going to the dog park. They absolutely love the DP (we have to call it this or else every time we say the whole name Beau freaks out in excitement). We met some super nice people there the other night who have two girl pugs! They were adorable and I'm trying to convince the boys that it's time they met some lady friends...lol. This week has been super busy with work and school so hopefully we will enjoy some relaxation time this weekend!

2nd Wedding

When we renew our vows some day this will be the dress I wear:


This is from NY fashion week and I'm in love (with Jeremy and the dress)!

Football!

So we have to do a football post because all three of our teams won this week...yippee! We LOVE ourselves some football and hopefully one of our teams will go all the way this year. I'm thinking we look prettttty prettyy good (for you Curb your Enthusiasm fans) so far!

Go FALCONS!!!



Go DAWGS!!!

Go Vandy (see below)!!!


We had a great weekend! Friday we saw Pineapple Express and it was pretty funny (not as funny as some of Seth Rogen's other movies, but still hilarious). Saturday we did some shopping (yeah for new work clothes), ate Mexican at Rose Pepper, and watched Black Hawk Down. Have you seen this movie? Wow, it has to be the most intense war movie I have ever seen. I decided that if I ever have to go into the military I definitely want to be in the Rangers...these guys are serious. Oh and of course we watched lots of football and did some yard work. Sunday was beautiful here in Nashville - perfect weather. We have been visiting a new church, Crosspoint Community Church, and we really enjoyed it this past Sunday. The new series is titled "Baggage" and it should be pretty interesting/scary! OH and they sang "From the Inside Out", which is one of our favorite songs AND the song that we taught the Dominicans in Higuey this summer ("Dios eterno, por siempre...") LOVES IT. I think God may be telling us something. Also, I am almost finished with the curtains I made and will post pics. later (gentlemen I'm sure you cannot wait!).

Love to all and have a wonderful week!

Vandy beats USC!!!

Last night we went to Vandy's football home opener against University of South Carolina. It was a ton of fun and we WON! I think this is the first time we have won against a ranked team since the 1930s?!? Anyway, we ran into our neighbors while we were there and ended up sitting together. I was just so excited to be at a school that has football I wanted to post some pics. GO 'DORES!!!
