So Friday the XPEDX sales force took the day off to go to the US National Whitewater Center just outside of Charlotte, NC. We did the low ropes course in the morning, followed by lunch and the whitewater rafting. Check out these pictures... the guy in the green shorts middle of this picture is my boss... this picture was taken shortly before he fell out of the boat... heck, at least he was a good sport!
Here is my boat. I learned... that I work with some really fun people!

We should send the boys out of town more often!
We should send the boys out of town more often! This weekend has been great- relaxing, refreshing, productive... and fun! Friday night was spent with my Beach Girls... how I love them! Becca made yummy snack food, everyone brought drinks, and we sat around a chatted the night away. It still truly amazes me that 6 girls who met when we were 14 years old still have so much in common twelve years later. We've gone to different schools, moved around, been a part of each others weddings, gone through good times and bad... and have somehow managed to have an amazing friendship through it all.
Saturday gave us the chance to celebrate Keith and Zoe's upcoming nuptials... we picked out our dresses... yay! We also went to William R. Davies park to see the reception site- talk about a fun time! The space is awesome... and outside is just a cool- horseshoes, volleyball, badmitton.... seriously, how fun is that? They have some great ideas and I can't wait for April!
Saturday night took us to Erin's house in Villa Heights, an up and coming area in Charlotte. Zoe made monster burgers, we grilled out, sipped some drinks, and met some of Erin's friends... it was a great time for sure!
Sunday has been Rachel and LuLu time- we've snuggled on the couch (don't tell Mike), watched football and are going for a walk to the creek in a little bit. She has turned out to be the coolest dog! She is so smart and has really started to listen to what we want her to do... she is even learning to jump into the car!
So, here's to another great week at work...

Where exactly is Appalachian State?
While I wish this didn't end with Miss Teen South Carolina... at least somebody gave her a second chance!

Remembering
Today marks 6 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks... where were you when you heard the news? Kyle and I were in Sociology at Appalachian just after the first plane hit... he was the one who told me. I remember thinking- how could they run into a building, how come they didn't see it? I'm so lucky to live in a country where I feel safe... the thought of an attack never crossed my mind... The second plane hit during class... and mass panic struck.
I think today about all of the people who lost loved ones on September 11th. How many of their kids started Kindergarten this year? How many people are just learning to love again? How many parents had to bury their children? Are they healing?
And I try to think of the good that came out of the day...
I think of the firefighters, police officers, Good Samaritans and volunteers that sprung into action to help put the pieces back together again... we are lucky to live in a country where people do good deeds, care for one another, give unselfishly of themselves.
I feel lucky to have troops fighting overseas to protect us... so that I can have the freedom that I took for granted 6 years ago... and that I respect so much more now. If we remember only one day a year, stop to think how lucky we are, how many wonderful things have happened in the past 6 years... I graduated from college, met Mike and fell in love, got married, took my first real job, bought a home, spent time with my family and friends, got to know my grandparents, celebrated another 8 years with Mom... all things that make America an amazing place to live...
So today I want to thank you for being a part of my life... for teaching me, loving me, supporting me... thank you to our troops, our volunteers, our country's leaders. I challenge you to live every day to the fullest, give back, love your neighbors, try hard to do your best... we aren't promised tomorrow... so let's be thankful for each and every day!

Our anniversary
Mike whisked me away for a wonderful anniversary trip last weekend... We went to the Biltmore in the morning, watched ASU beat Michigan, then had a wonderful anniversary dinner... Mike even remembered to bring our wedding cake! The girls also sent a bottle of wine, strawberries, a cute pic of us and new wine glasses- seriously, we have the best friends ever! :)
Sunday we went to the Chalet Club in Lake Lure which was awesome, we were the youngest people there by far, but had an absolute blast. We played cards and shuffleboard and floated on the lake, took the boats out... it was so nice to spend some time together- just the two of us. This has been the best year of my life- my husband is incredible!!
