September 2

Happy Labor Day - the girls are working a day shift together -- watch out. Today's port would have been Villefrache, France (read: MONTE CARLO!!) -- we're still pouting.

September 1

The sky threatened rain heading back into NC tonight from VA - nothing came down in VA, but the clouds looked pretty cool!

August 31

Loyal, strong & true - rise and shout Cougars!! College FB season is back!!!! :) BYU played U Va today -- we lost, but had a great time tailgating, hearing Greg Wrubell & Marc Lyons speak, meeting really nice U Va fans, and screaming our lungs out despite the crazy weather and stupid ACC refs!

August 30

The final weekend of travel has commenced and this time the girls are in Charlottesville, VA! This weekend BYU will play the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and thanks to their scheduling Jennifer and Jannette got to come up a day early. Tonight was the team fireside - which was amazing as always - there was even 2 special speakers.... 2 missionaries serving in the Charlottesville area who play on the team!

August 29

Tonight on our floor we celebrated (and cried a little) due to the retirement of one of the unit secretaries - Carolyn. We'll miss her around the floor but we're excited for the new found freedom she'll have now!

August 28

3 of Jennifer and Jannette's co-workers are headed to Barcelona today for an amazing trip. A trip both of the girl's should be on too. But due to work not giving them the time off... the trip had to be cancelled. We'll be excited to see pictures of the amazing ports, Spain, Disneyland Paris, and France but for now we're pouting, sulking a bit, licking our wounds and cat-sitting. Bon voyage MR, DH & JW!

August 27

Missionary sighting on the way into work - and they're sporting the new dress code to boot!! Hi Elders!

August 25

Happy VMA night!!!! Justin Timberlake performed and received an award -- and brought *NSYNC to the stage to perform a song with him! For a second, we both went back to 1999 when boy bands were all the rage :) It was good to see them together again (even if pics of the TV screen aren't so good...).

Bye, bye, bye!

August 20

We <3 Wegman's - and we <3 Thai peanut sauce.... so on our recent trip to VA... of course we had to pick up a bottle to try :) Thanks Wegman's!

August 18

This sweet girl was blessed today and turned 2 months recently - we love her (and her parents and brother) so much... Happy Blessing Day, S!!!

August 17

We stopped by 2 orchards on our way out of VA today - Stribling Orchard and Hartland Orchard. We've been to both before to pick fruit and had to go back since peaches and apples are in season currently. We even got to pick our own raspberries. YUM!!

August 16

Weekend surprise #2 for Mom -- tickets to see Josh Groban (for the 2nd time) this time in VA :) He was amazing -- as always!

August 15

Mom has FINALLY eaten at Cafe Rio - and has specifically eaten their wonderful salads!!! We have a weekend of birthday surprises planned for her - this being the first of about 3 of them. We're excited to be eating yummy food all weekend and to have Mom try it finally!

July 28, 2013

July 27

It SERIOUSLY cannot be July 27th! It was 68 degrees when Jennifer left for work this morning... weird. Nice... but weird.

July 26

Today was a sad day at work for Jennifer. A child she took care of frequently passed away sort of unexpectedly. Jennifer and Jannette decided to eat out because they just weren't up to cooking. Cracker Barrel saved the day - and while baked apples don't fix a super crappy day, at least the food was good.

July 25

This ice cream is AMAZING!!!!!! It's the Edy's "light" Salted Caramel Pretzel ice cream - try it... you won't regret it!!

July 23

The Royal Prince made his first public appearance today. The Royal family just left the hospital.

The Royal baby was born today. It's a boy! Leave it to Disney to make the cutest annoucement.

July 19

Yes it's a Friday night and yes Jannette was sitting at home watching a Disney channel movie.

July 18

Busy, busy, busy!!!!! That is how the rest of the year will be! Between trips and jobs - the girls have LOTS to keep them busy!

The girls went out to dinner tonight at Ruckus in Cary - and it ended up being Trivia Night. We had fun!! Even if we really do suck at trivia apparently......

July 16

Dinner tonight is seafood - YUM!!!

July 15

Meet Mowgli!

He's the newest kitten in our family - and really belongs to Jorden and Katie. But since their cat hates him... he's hanging out with mom and dad for the time being. And since they're visiting... so is Mowgli the kitten!

July 14

This was the big news today ... Cory Monteith was found dead in his hotel room :( How sad!!

July 13

Jennifer, Jannette, and Mom (who is in town visiting) got to go visit the J Family today! Since Jennifer worked last night she conned E into a nap in his room so she could rest too and S decided she needed a nap as well (ignore the odd angle - she's not that big!). We love these kids!!

July 12

Greek salad for dinner thanks to a co-worker who wanted to order take out -- YUMMY!!

July 11

Grossness of the day? Frozen eggs! The fridge temp may need to be adjusted....

July 10

Jennifer FINALLY got to see this movie! After attempting to read the book, listen to the book on CD... I finally caved and just watched it on TV - it was pretty good but I can see why I couldn't get through it in book form...

June 24

Jennifer works at her other job tomorrow - and since we both have to stay up all night after that, the plan is to make use of a night and drive to Virginia! Cafe Rio specifically :) A four hour trip for great food - count us in!

June 23

Jannette found a yummy new treat on the way home from Kanuga - yay for stops at Publix in SC!

June 22

We're Walt-sitting again while M is out of town - he's such a fluff ball!!

I had a job interview today for a second job - it went great! I was offered the position on the spot! :)

June 16

Even though our Dad is many miles away... and we don't see him very frequently - we love him tons!!! Happy Father's Day to the best Donald we know!

June 15

Jannette headed to camp for the next week earlier today. She also ended up in South Carolina tonight (inadvertently) while hunting down food. Whoops!! At least she got back to camp without an issue.

June 14

The Air Care team has a helipad on top of the Neuroscience Hospital at UNC. It always entertains the girls when they come and go because helicopters sound awesome when they take off and land.... even though it usually means someone is very sick.
