October has been a month full of celebrations!
On October 15th, Chris and I celebrated our 5th anniversary! Here are the high points of our visit to Lake Oconee to celebrate:
• Shopping and strolling around Madison, one of the most beautiful cities in Georgia
• Driving around the lake area to include a drive by our first house (oh, the memories)

• Sitting for an entire afternoon at the lakeside bar at the Ritz Carlton watching college football, drinking beer, and eating calamari and flatbread
• Roasting marshmallows over the outdoor fire pit
• Eating a delicious dinner of shrimp and grits and filet mignon
• Eating dessert, ‘nuf said
• Spending the night at the Ritz Carlton hotel
• Eating a beautiful buffet breakfast the next morning
So, did you notice there was a lot of eating? My jeans sure did… I can’t think of a single low point, aside from it ending. It was a fabulous celebration of five amazing years together.
On October 26th, I celebrated my graduation from the Leadership Warner Robins program put on annually by the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce. If I were to make a bulleted list of all of the high points of this program, I would surely develop carpal tunnel syndrome before it was complete. In short, I met some amazing people who I now call friends, visited some incredible places in and around our Houston County community, completed some interesting homework assignments, and worked with my class to pull off an incredible class project. Here are some photo highlights…

| A visit to the Georgia state capitol. |

| I have no idea what I'm holding, but I wanted to look cute holding it and that's the only reason I'm smiling that big. I was actually scared to death I was going to accidentally shoot something. |
 |
| The only photo where I look even remotely badass. In all of the other shooting photos, I look extremely goofy. One of my classmates said I looked like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits. |

| The dedication marker for the tree we sponsored at the Little League Southeastern Regional Headquarters (part of the class project). |

On October 28th, Chris received the employee of the quarter award at work. He had a great opportunity to join the Robins AFB family as an engineering co-op last June and has been working hard to complete his Mechanical Engineering degree while working at the base. I am so proud of his accomplishments at both work and in school and cannot wait to see him graduate in May!
On October 30th, we celebrated Halloween a day early with the rest of the county. Since Chris was busy with school, we stayed home for the weekend and passed out candy to all the cutie patootie trick-or-treaters. These included a little boy that looked into my giant bowl of chocolate candy and asked me where the chocolate was, a skateboarding zombie (I really should have gotten that one without asking) who was probably too old to be trick-or-treating, and two 80’s girls that were definitely born in the 2000s. I actually felt a little old… Chris even called me the creepy old lady for asking the kids about their costumes. What else were we going to talk about, the upcoming election?
And now, it’s already November, which means more celebrating and more eating, come Thanksgiving! This is my favorite time of year; the weather is finally cooling off, the holiday celebrations are beginning, and we have some great quality time with family and friends to look forward to…

Thanks for the update - and, you don't look silly holding either gun - I think you are quite intimidating!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you for graduation and congrats to Chris for his employee award - I think I already told y'all this, but hey - congrats again!
I love you both so much and cannot wait to see you soon! :0)
