Ethans Baby Blessing Weekend

I got a new haircut! I've been thinking about going back to my natural hair color for various reasons but especially because I was sick of having to get my hair re-highlighted every couple months and spending all that money! So now I'm back to brown and love it! I also cut off about 5 inches and love the change! (Ryan wouldn't let me cut my hair above my shoulders, which is fine, he loves long hair! :) This weekend we got to go up to North Carolina to see Shalyse, Ben, Andrea and Ethan for Ethan's baby blessing! Since we only live about 5 hours away we HAD to come! On our way up we stopped at this big tourist place that was South of the North Carolina border! It was pretty cool but, out of season so we just looked in one of the shops. We got to stay the night at Shalyse and Ben's and had tons of fun! Andrea showed us all her books and baby Ethan was so cute and much bigger than we saw him in August! It was really fun just being with everyone and the blessing was great! We're so glad we had the opportunity to go and see everyone and the blessing!

October

A couple weekends ago we went up to the Appalachians in northeast Georgia to see the mountains and fall colors which was fun! At the state park they had these owls that were partially blind and couldn't live in the wilderness alone, so these people cared for them and were showing them off!

So Ive been lacking on the blog and need to update! Since living in Georgia I have a lot more free time and Ive been trying to pick up cooking/baking. Ryans birthday was Sept 27th and he's 25!! What a man! We went to this really good seafood place called Rhineharts and was way good! I also made him his favorite pie, Lemon Cream Pie ( I got from dana-made-it blog) which is AMAZING! But since we dont have all our usual baking tools I really couldn't "whip" the whip cream very well and it turned out a little soupy but, he still loved it!
