Fallin' Behind

Haha-you get it right?  I crack me up....Anyways, I have a lot of catching up to do because it's been BUSY!  Football season seems to do that to us.  But work has also been very busy for both William and myself (which is a good thing)!  We've been working hard, but also found some time for play too :)
 
I had a work conference in Nashville, TN which worked out great because my flight was out of Charlotte and that just so happened to be where we were going bridesmaids dress shopping that same weekend!  It worked out perfectly!  We had a great day of shopping!
 
 
Then I also got to visit with my sweet friend Seantel, and her precious twinkies, Graham and Ellie.  
 
 
After that I got to catch up with my friend Laura at her new place in Charlotte.  It was nice to just hang around, watch football, drink some wine and relax.  Wish all of my Charlotte buddies were closer!
 
 
After my Nashville trip, we had another reason to celebrate.  My BFF's birthday of course!  We had a great time eating at the Brazilian Steakhouse and then of course, sang some karaoke.  I love birthdays :)
 
 
October came around QUICK and that meant it was time for more tailgating and fall fun.  I got to go to the Luke Bryan concert with a SUPER fun group of girls. It was his "Farm Tour" and that is exactly what it was.  Seriously, the night ended with cows surrounding our vehicle.  It was a lot of fun....but next time I think we will try to get a parking spot closer to the main road :) 
 
 
 
The next day we did some tailgating with our favorites and had a great time.

Crazy faces :)
 
Hey!  There's that little rascal Sally Mae!  How'd she get on here?? :-)
 
 
We also had our every other year USC/UT visit to Knoxville, TN.  Jack and Sara were gracious enough to host the group and we had a wonderful time on Friday night eating yummy food and catching up with one another.

Unfortunately Saturday didn't go quite the way it was planned, but everyone is okay and we were glad we could all spend the time we did together.
 
 
There's us at the game!

On a side note, we lost my sweet step-grandmother Mrs. Lillian on Monday.  She was a precious woman who loved her family, good food, shopping and all things celebrity entertainment (seriously, isn't that hilarious?).  She adored her grandchildren, and all children really, and never met a stranger.   She will be greatly missed.  Momma's are such important people in our lives.  Whether they are moms, stepmoms, grandmom's or just a  friend who happens to be a mom, there is just something special about them.  Hugs and kisses to all of the very special mommas, past and present, in my life.  Love you all!
