fun fall day

Today was a very fun day.  We went to Duke's for lunch.....yummy burgers!!! Then we went to Carowinds and had a blast.  On the way home we stopped at a pumpkin patch and got our pumpkin.  We came home and carved it...it looks awesome. Zach did a great job on it.

Our New Adventure

We are very excited about a new adventure that has come into our lives.  Last month Zach accepted the Worship Pastor position at Southbrook:Monroe.  It is a campus of Southbrook:Weddington.  Right now we are meeting at Benton Heights Elementary but in Mid-November we will be moving into our renovated building.  Zach isn't full-time right now but will be as the church grows.  We are happy to be helping out either way. Above are some pictures from this past Sunday.

Peak at our Apartment

Here is a peak at our new apartment.  This is our living room.  We really love it here.  It's back in the woods a bit so its pretty quiet and our balcony is almost two times the size of our last one. 

Night with Our Neighbors

Earlier this week our neighbors, Chris and Jade, came over and asked us if we'd like to come over for dinner...so tonight that's what we did.  We had a really awesome time.  We ate dinner and then played Wii!! I've never played before but always thought it looked like lots of fun...we played bowling and tennis.  They are both 25 and moved here from Albany a little over a year ago. I think we'll be hanging out with them much more.

Monroe Football Game

On Saturday we went to our friend Stephen's wedding and reception...after that we went to the Monroe football game with George.  We got there for the 4th quarter but it was still fun. They have a really nice new stadium and field. 

Move Accomplished!

On Friday we began the moving process...we couldn't have done any of it without our friends and family! On Friday my Mom and Sister came to help transfer the delicate things that couldn't be packed and then Dan and Melissa came to help us with all the BIG stuff! They were so determined to get us moved that we completely loaded and unloaded the truck by 10pm that night! We got about 90% of everything moved...which we never expected to have done.  Then on Saturday my parents came to help clean and fix up the old apartment and Zach's cousin Chad and my friend Leslie came to help us finish moving our stuff.  

Everything is unpacked. The only thing left to do is hang our things on the walls.  I'll post pictures later this week.

it's packing time!

Yep...It's packing time! We are moving next Saturday.  We found a nice and cheaper apartment just down the street.  We are really excited about it! And its apartment #5!!! We also like it because it's on the 2nd floor and there is no floor above us! We'll post more pics once we move in and are all settled.
