Blind girl takes second place

tonight our small group went bowling in Cullman

 

you may be wondering who the “blind girl” in the title is referring to…

that would be yours truly. I forgot to put my contacts in so I kept having to ask my friend Cody what the score was so that I would know where I fell in the line-up.

I lost the first game. I fell somewhere in the middle. But that was just the “warm-up” right?

I bowled MUCH better the second game, and Cody and I were neck and neck. He pulled out the win and beat me by 4 points.

I was really tired tonight, and less competitive than usual, so I was ok with 2nd place…considering the 1st game my performance was pretty terrible.

 

Poor quality because they were taken on the cell phone, but here are a few pics from the night

Adios Senor Cody

Last night we had Cody a surprise going away party

He is leaving on Thursday to go to Spain for 3 months to do Mission work

We had a great time getting everyone together to fellowship and encourage Cody before he leaves

showing our serious side

Good Luck Cody!

Praying for you,and can’t wait to hear updates on how the Lord is using you!!!

A week in the life…of a Yankee

On October 9th My sweet friend

Stacey Boshell and I

will set out to embark on yet, another adventure!

This time, we are headed North.

Portland and Bar Harbor, Maine, New Hampshire, and Stowe, Vermont to be exact.

We are declaring it my 25th Birthday week Celebration, and I could not be any more excited!

This time we are dragging along

Grace Anne!

She is really excited, but definitely contemplates things more than I do. I tend to make an educated decision and stick with it. She thinks about things a little longer,  so  I stress her out a little…in a good way

She is also my friend that is going to Hawaii with me, should we land a job.

We balance each other out well I think.

But she probably has no idea what she is in for!

We have a tentative plan, but no set schedule

We are flying in to Portland, Maine and staying overnight. We will get up the next morning and drive up the coast to Bar Harbor

and enjoy the scenery and make whatever stops we wish to make along the way

In Bar harbor we are going to go Whale and puffin watching and see what else we can get into

How cute are these?!?

OH! and let’s not forget…eat some lobster!

Bon appetit!

We will then drive thru New Hampshire, and maybe stay a night there…then drive on into Stowe, Vermont and stay there a couple nights before heading back to Portland to fly back home

We have a lot of options of things to do and see, but want to play it by ear. We don’t want to have a set itinerary

We just want to do things like site-see, and hike and bike and enjoy the scenery and fall weather.

Because after all, Fall is my MOST FAVORITE time of year!

fall foliage

This one’s for you, Boshell!

Plane tickets are purchased, So now it’s a month of waiting and excited anticipation

SO stay tuned! I hope to take my computer and blog about our adventures along the way, should time allow. But we shall see!

Hope everyone’s week is great so far! I’m super tired from working extra, but gotta make that moolah for my trip, so all in all it’s totally worth it!
