Rain rain go away come back some other day (or never)

We are back in North Carolina. My parents came out and we were able to watch my sister play soccer. It was so fun to have them here not to mention the fact that my fav interior designer Doug E. Fresh (my dad) helped get my apartment in gear (ceiling fans, a sweet gigantic flat screen t.v., and bar stools). I am seriously so lucky to have such amazing and giving parents! I don't think there is any way i could thank them enough! It was even perfect weather here all weekend. And the day they left the flash floods and tornado watches (well warnings, "watches" means there could possibly be a tornado and warnings is "there is probably going to be a tornado", next to that there is only HOLY CRAP THERE IS A TORNADO) in the lovely Carolina of the North (yuck). I thought for sure the wicked witch was going to ride by my window on her bicycle today!

But despite that i have found an awesome hydraulic chair for my little salon in our apartment on good old craigslist! I will be in business in no time (now i need some updated business cards)

Although now that our apartment (really, just the sweetest t.v. ever) looks great i don't mind hiding indoors away from the rain with my precious little toddler who has picked up another word (well two words) "NO WAY!"

We're home! Pics coming soon.

Breaking dawn!

JUST FINISHED BREAKING DAWN! It took us forever b/c we read it aloud as a family. But i am so sad its over at least we have the movie to look forward to (12-12-08)

Some Pictures from Utah

So, after a fun-filled week in Idaho and Oregon with the Skeen family, here we are in Utah visiting the Ryan's family. Here are a few pictures documenting what's goin' on.














This is Addie with her new little cousin Anika.















and here is Addie with a goat at the county fair.

We're headed back to North Carolina sometime next week... as soon as we build up enough courage to start that drive again.
