Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy One Year Anniversary!!!!!!

One year later... we made it!!! It has just flown by! I can't believe just one year ago I married my best friend. We spend the entire day yesterday together.. slept in, brunch, hiking off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then a romantic dinner at the Stone House Market.

Cheers to another wonderful year! Muah!

Think Pink

October is one of my favorite months of the year... especially since it is Mr. O and I's anniversary but also b/c of the awareness of breast cancer. I think everyone should remember everyday about cancer but it is nice to know the support you see everywhere during this month.

People are wearing pink, breast cancer walks, ribbons, and even the Asheville newspaper has been pink! Love it!

My mother's best friend, Lisa, has been affected by breast cancer. She has been fighting for almost two years now. Her constant fight and push to beat this makes me smile and stay positive. The strength it takes to take one more step, one more breathe and one more day going forward can take everything out of you but knowing that you want to get there makes all the difference in the world. Stay positive!

Love you Lisa J! :)

PDS Class '00 10 Year Reunion!!!

10 Years!!! Seriously?!?!!?! Gosh we are old! Last weekened Mr. O and I were in Charlotte, NC for Mr. O's 10 year reunion from high school. (Mine is next year.) We had a great pre-party at Paul's house before! All of us got to have time to eat, drink and look at old photo albums thanks to Julianna! The reunion was a little disappointing since we made up half of the reunion! Only about 25 people showed up total through the whole night. Not even ONE teacher came! So after tons of money, years of education, 2 reunions, bites of food, and two drink tickets we have a lifetime of wonderful memories and great friends!

I'm so lucky to say that Mr. O's friends are now my friends and part of our family. We are so lucky to have each of you in our lives! We are looking forward to what is next!

Been awhile.....

It has been way to long.....

Sorry for the delay but there just has been so much going on! My new job, Mr. O looking for a new job, traveling and OMG our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY is so close!

The most of September Mr. O and I spent at the beach... labor day in Myrtle Beach, SC and then a week in Holden, NC with our high school friends! Oh and my niece is now 6 months old! So adorable!

October just started and we have been planning to go see a NC State football game in Raleigh, NC and plan what we were going to do for our one year anniversary trip. We were off to San Francisco, CA and Napa Valley but we decided to wait for that. We are going to spend our anniversary in Asheville, NC which is now our permanent home. Can't wait!!

My CLT girls are coming up at the end of October for a weekend get-a-way! I'm so excited! No one of them have seen my house or my life in AVL.

Thank goodness for HUMP day!!! I'm off to work today and tomorrow and then in CLT for work Fri - Wed! (Yes I travel way too much now).

xoxo from the mountains!
