Panthers vs Redskins

Sunday, Marie and I went to the Panthers game! We got really good tickets from the Stubbs family and were very close to the field. We headed down early and tailgated with a few of our friends. Here are photos from the game.


Marie and I from our seats.


Player entrance

The Panthers just before kickoff.

For the month of October, NFL players wore pink to support Breast Cancer research. DeAngelo William, the Running Back for the Panthers, wore pink in recognition of his mother who is a breast cancer survivor. He fumbled the first play of the game.... that was not in tribute to his mother.

Marie enjoyed practicing her sports photography during the game.

Another action shot.

The Redskins haven't had the greatest season so far. As you can see, they aren't in the best spirits right now.


Melanie and Garrett's baby shower

Jay and I hosted a baby shower for his co-worker. I made breakfast casserole and we asked other guests to help by bringing juice and muffins. We played a few cheesy games.


The mommy and daddy to be went head to head in a diaper race


We melted candy bars in diapers and had everyone guess what candy it was



And then the best part GIFTS!!
We had a great time hanging out with friends and looking at all the fun baby stuff. We are so excited to meet little Addison this December.

Turks and Caicos

I went to Turks and Caicos with John, Erin and Charlie this past weekend. We stayed in a very nice villa on the beach. It was an amazing few days in the sun. Don't worry I made sure Jay had plenty of food and video games.














The house where we stayed

Charlie's search for the "Great Pumpkin"









Ric Flair Scratch Off Lottery Ticket

There are a few perks to living in North Carolina. The weather is great, we're close to the city as well as the mountains. Oh yeah... and Ric Flair came out with a scratch off lottery ticket recently and we managed to get our hands on a couple.

They have commercials promoting the ticket as well. If this doesn't get you to buy one... nothing will.

Wooooooooooooooooooooo!
