Mannion-Patterson Wedding

Congratulations to Lindy and Dan. Yesterday we headed down south to Richmond to attend my high school friend's wedding. Not only was it a beautiful wedding, but the weather was amazing, 70 and sunny! Between the ceremony and the reception we had a little down time, so we went out to have some drinks and appetizers. The reception was a blast. The Mannion family has a tradition of putting on a skit at weddings. The cousins dressed up, and sang an edited version of Elton John's "Daniel". We were all in hysterics. Lindy's niece, Claire, stole the night will her dance moves. Not afraid to show off, Claire jumped in the middle of the dance circle and showed her stuff. We had such a great time and can't wait for Becky and Lisa's weddings next year!

Shower and My Birthday

September was a busy month. Eric is super busy at work with a big project that will continue through October. He also started playing in a rec volleyball league on Wednesday nights. I haven't had a chance to go watch, but hopefully I will get out there soon. My nights have been packed with volleyball. The team is doing pretty well. The true test will come at the beginning of November when playoffs begin. I also started teaching Sunday School, or Junction as they call it at FCF. I'm in the K-1 room and loving it. The kids are hilarious and full of energy. Our wedding schedule was pretty sparse until September. We recently showered our friend Cheryl with gifts and celebrated her upcoming wedding to Brad, a childhood friend of Eric's. We played games, how well do you know Brad and created wedding dresses with TP. My favorite twist to the games was when she didn't answer the quetions about Brad correctly she had to chew a piece of gum. She did a pretty good job, but ended up with a big wad of gum by the time it was over.

We also celebrated my birthday this month. Eric made an apple pie from scratch, crust and all, for the two of us. He did a great job, especially on the crust. Dad came up on Monday and brought an Ukrops cake, and later that week we made apple crisp with all the leftover apples from the pie. Needless to say, we're not watching our weight this month :-)
