Here's what's happening in our neck of the woods:
Early in October Coach and I had our first Wedding Shower. It was early but almost all of my Family on both sides lives in Illinois. So while we were up there for Fall Break my Aunt and Cousin were kind enough to host a couples shower. The best part is that my Dad was up for the UofI game and he got to come too! It really worked out perfectly!
WKU Homecoming came and went. Coach and I had a really good time catching up with my sorority sisters and all of his intramural buddies. The game was excellent- WKU Actually WON! And the student section rushed the field!!! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen at WKU, I know I'm a dork but it seriously brought tears to my eyes. The Hilltopper spirit is such a powerful thing. #gotops!
My nephew is HUGE. His 2nd birthday was in Mid-October and I missed it :-( I'm pretty tired of living so far from my family. I can't wait to get home and see them all more often!
Coach and I had our engagement pictures taken, and they turned out pretty good! Jen and her husband, Chris were very tolerant of our childish and awkward behavior. The pink and blue picture it the one that we're sending in our save the date. It's typical of us.
**Funny story- the night before these pictures were taken I was busy making sure all of our clothing was together and that we had everything we needed for our costume changes and right before bed I notice that the Coach had not cut his hair (he does it himself- it's just a buzz cut, we'll keep our $12 kthanksbye) so I sort of sharply say, "You haven't cut your hair yet! Why??" he replies, "Uh, I'm not going to cut it" to which Elizabeth replies even more sharply, "Uhhh, YES YOU ARE!" Lots of "FINES" and door slamming ensue but ultimately Coach agreed to cut his hair. Fast forward about 10 minutes and I'm laying in bed while Coach gets out his razor to cut his hair in the bathroom. He is still huffing around and muttering under his breath when I suddenly
BBBBAAAANNNNGGG.
longpauseofsilence.
"*&%#$ *&%#@"- Coach
HE DROPPED THE RAZOR AND BROKE IT HALF WAY THROUGH CUTTING HIS HAIR.
That's what you get for acting like a baby. Welp, that means he has to cut his hair with a 1. And thus "baldy" appears in our engagement pictures.
What I wanted to say was, "Dear Coach, (because I know you're reading) NOTE TO SELF, do whatever Elizabeth says, and don't argue and then this won't happen."
What I wanted to say was, "Dear Coach, (because I know you're reading) NOTE TO SELF, do whatever Elizabeth says, and don't argue and then this won't happen."
BIGGEST LESSON LEARNED: During wedding week, cut hair many days before.
:-)
My Mom came for a visit! We got lots of wedding business taken care of! We now have a cake, and a florist and Mom has finally seen our reception venue!
HALLOWEEEEENNNN! It's my most favorite of holidays! And this year, the Coach and I were "The corpse bride and groom" AND I WON BEST COSTUME!!!! It was great!
In football news, the Purples are still winning. They have a huge game this coming Friday against a good team from Elizabethtown and if they can beat them the Purples will be playing for the State Championship. They have made it this far, I'm sure they can pull it off! December 3rd can't get here soon enough, I'm looking forward to a long winter with my Coach. Snow days and Cocoa:-) ...but first things first, GO PURPLES!
This is a picture of Coach's 17 (of 19) Offensive Linemen. Our friends the Seabolts hosted this gathering for the players closests to my Coach and theirs. Tabby and I both cooked ALL day! The dinner was lots of work but worth it! Mostly I enjoyed talking to the Seabolts for a long time after the boys had gone home. They have been through many seasons (football seasons, that is) together and seem to love one another they way high school kids do :-) I hope that my Coach is learning as from Coach Seabolt as I am learning from his wonderful wife!
Coach and I chowing down at the O-line dinner!
I know I already mentioned that Grant was growing like a weed but I couldn't leave out little Annabelle! AnnaBanana is looking more and more beautiful every day! I can't wait to MEET her next month. And doesn't my sister just look lovely? Motherhood fits her so well!
*hehe* I couldn't resist! Here is Grant in the raincoat I got him a while back.
He's the perfect ending to this overdue update!
I'll be back in blogging action more often as soon as football season ends!
Have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!
Love & Peace!
