Fall-O-Ween

As you can tell from the length of time since our last post, we haven't done a very good job of keeping up with all of the things we have been doing this Fall. Here is a recap of the highlights from the last few months:

• David started working as an Industrial Engineer for Michelin. He is working at a plant in Sandy Springs, SC (a different plant than Cori). So far the real world is treating him pretty well and he enjoys his job and coworkers. He is also still working on finishing his dissertation, so needless to say he is staying super busy.
  
• Cori made her first visit to Canada in September to visit 3 of Michelin's facilities in Nova Scotia. The area was very beautiful, but she wished that she had more time to explore.
  
• We both made a trip to Louisville for work but were able to catch up with some friends and take in the homecoming football game at U of L. We had a good time tailgating and watching the CARDS win!

C-A-R-D-S!!!

• Cori got to travel to Missouri to watch Cara play volleyball, and she met up with her parents and Aunt Shannon in St. Louis. Cara's team won the tournament and they all enjoyed spending time together.

• We celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary by taking a wonderful trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina & Virginia. The autumn colors were amazingly beautiful and it's hard to describe all the different shades of orange, red, & yellow that we saw.

Stunning views!!



• We spent the Halloweekend with some friends and neighbors. We attended a neighborhood pumpkin carving contest. It was a very enjoyable time and one of the winners had a flaming pumpkin so obviously our simply carved pumpkins did not compare. Now we will know to bring our pumpkin carving A-game next year!! We spent the rest of the night out on the town with a bunch of other Halloween crazies!

Who ya gonna call?!

Happy Halloween!!

The weather has started to get a little colder, even by SC standards (40-50s at night and mornings). I guess this means that the holiday season is approaching.
