Visiting Blue Heaven

Saturday October 6th we made our yearly visit to Blue Heaven (aka Chapel Hill) for a football game.  This game was unique in that it was called the "White Out" game.  Tar Heel fans were encouraged to wear white so we could white out the stadium. As a Southern girl, I hated it! A man must have planned this, because every girl knows you don't wear white after Labor Day. :)  Evidently rules went out the window, but I saw many girls in white dresses.

For October, it was a really warm day (80s) but luckily we sit in the shade. Jeremy, Owen, and I went to the game while Mom and Oliver went shopping with my aunt.  I do believe though, this was the longest game ever! The first quarter itself lasted a whole hour thanks to penalities and time-outs.

Owen was really into 1 quarter then quickly grew tired and slept most of the 2nd quarter.  I'm amazed that he slept through the cannons and fireworks going off. 

After the game, we tailgated in the parking deck. Owen and Jeremy enjoyed looking over the edge at all the other late tailgaters. 

Dr. Adams brought his big Ramses, which the boys thought was fun. Oliver kept giving him fist bumps. :)

They also "played" cornhole

It was a great day (minus a few poppy potty accidents at the end)! The Heels took home a victory and we brought home another day of family memories. Thanks Nana and Papa for taking us!

Carolina Kind of Day

This past Saturday we tried to fit in as many activities as possible I think. Unwilling to give up any fun activity, we agreed to do it all. So we woke up super early and headed to Chapel Hill to watch UNC play Georgia Tech. Because it was a noon tip off, we had to be there by 9:30 for tailgating, but it was worth it. We had a delicious breakfast spread and Owen enjoyed sitting in his own little chair and people watching.

Isn't he cute in his little jersey? He loved sitting in this chair and swinging his feet. Too bad his eyes are closed.

He loves his daddy.
Around the 3rd quarter, Jeremy and I left Owen with my parents and ran out to attend the wedding of one of my Carolina girls. Jenny and I were in a Bible study together all 4 years at UNC and I adore her. She is one of the most thoughtful and encouraging people I know.

Again I have gotten really bad about getting out the camera so there are very few pictures of this amazing wedding. For those who don't know Jenny, she is an event planner in DC so I knew this wedding would be spectacular and it lived up to it's expectations. The reception was in her parents' backyard but don't let that fool you. It felt like we were in an elegant ballroom. It was a wonderful evening of catching up with my college girls and hanging out with my husband sans a our little munchkin.

The two pics I did get: from left to right: York, Heather, me and Truesdale (no one has the same name anymore but they will forever hold their college names)
Jenny and all her pregnant friends: Mel, Mandy, Jenny, Trues, and me
No one told me how big that blue dress made me look. WOW, I will not wearing it again anytime soon. I also didn't get a picture that included Brittney, Hoke, or Allison, but the gang was all there. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

After getting back to my parents' house around 10 pm, we were exhausted! It was a full but fun day. :)
