Catching up on October

Well, well, well
I honestly have no excuses for my lack of posting. I am literally just lazy. So let me catch you guys up... After getting back in town from our fabulous trip to GA, my parents came in for a visit. We headed up to Memphis to see the ducks in the fountain of the Peabody Hotel...which was...interesting. There is SUCH a huge crowd and some inconsiderate people that decided at the last minute to block our view...so we really didn't get to see anything cool as far as the duck march goes. BUT...we loved Beale Street which is also in the downtown Memphis area. So we had dinner and then headed to Tunica to the Casinos we have heard so much about! Yeah, I know...I can't believe we gambled all our money away either! We had a blast and got home super late. Yeah, my parents are awesome. I know.

I was pretty sad to say bye to my parents because we've been so lucky to be able to see them and our other family so often...and now it's going to be a while (like probably Christmas) before we see them again! LAME. Anwayssss we decided to really get festive this year so Michael and I each got our own pumpkin to carve. Clearly, I won. (on the left)

Let's see...Michael is currently in his first "full" week of pilot training. Everything is so far so good! He is basically just doing academics (aka a bunch of class time and tests) but they get to do some cool new things too like the altitude chamber! We had a career day a week ago which was super neat. We got to look at a lot of planes and talk to the pilots about what their lives are like professionally and personally. It really opened my eyes to what it could be like for Michael and me. I know I'm going to sound so corny when I say this...but it makes me SO happy to finally see all of Michael's dreams coming true...I know we are only in the beginning and we have a long way to go...but still. I'm just so lucky to be along for the ride!

 Here's the C-17/Cockpit view with Michael and our friend Tony inside!

ALSO!!! We got new counter tops!!!! I am such a freaking housewife. Ahhhh I love them :) Our old ones weren't awful...but I guess I didn't know how bad we had it b/c these new ones are amazing! Look!

Um....other than all the above we've just been enjoying married life and I'm still job searching...but trying to stay patient and trust that God has my best interests in mind and has the perfect job out there for me! Love you all to the moon and back! Miss you guys!!!!
