Check This Out!

Missing Money
It is very cool. So far I've found two checks from a previous employer of Shawn's, two old accounts that belonged to my mom, and my friend found some money from the state of PA!! Good luck!

Wedding Weekend


I just had the best weekend trip! Unfortunately, you all will have to take my word for it because I don't have any pictures. Once I'm able to acquire a few I will post. Needless to say, the wedding - and all of the festivities surrounding it - was a blast. It has been 11 years since my group of best friends from high school have been together. There were 6 of us that were very tight...making it a bit difficult at times for others to be around us given the multitude of inside jokes. We could succesfully have multiple conversations simultaneously and we would know exactly what each one was about. So...Friday night was no different. Thankfully we were all at the post rehearsal dinner party when Christine arrived so we didn't feel as though we were being too loud or crazy. We belted out some Indigo Girls songs and a little Been Caught Stealing and spent a lot of time laughing, crying, and loving being together! I have now assumed the task of coordinating our first annual trip.

Congrats, Bridget and Erik!!!

Apple Picking


Sometimes it's difficult to get everyone to cooperate!

Sarah and Grady...two peas in a pod.

We headed out for our final fall apple picking trip in New Hampshire with my friends, Beth and Amy. We had a yummy lunch at Cracker Barrel before heading over to Mack's. Our weather was perfect and Sarah and Grady had fun filling our bags, and littering the orchard, with apples. We'll miss our annual trip to the orchard.

It's That Time Again...


Conner and his friend Jori.


As you can see, Grady is a bit of a showman.

Just a little reminder of the summer.

First day of school! I'm slightly tardy with this post but I've been a bit preoccupied and haven't done much more than check email for the last couple of weeks. I've added a couple of videos for your enjoyment!

102 Minutes

I've been watching a piece on the History channel entitled, "102 Minutes That Changed The World." I'll never forget, as I'm sure you won't either, where we were 7 years ago today during those 102 minutes. I'll also never forget the frantic message one of my dearest friends left for me as she was attempting to leave Manhattan, unsure of where to go or what to do. I don't usually get too serious here on good old blogspot but I need just a few lines.

This has been quite a tumultuous run for Georgie boy, hasn't it? I poke fun but I think most of you know in which direction I lean. There have been countless points in history when leaders have had to make very difficult decisions, some more successful than others, and when the people of this nation have had to make great sacrifice. This is not limited to war times. Ups and downs in the economy, severe weather, losing a job, so many circumstances have tested us as individuals and as a people, united. I believe we live in the greatest nation on earth and I plan on doing what I can to keep it that way. I'm not trying to sway you in either direction just make sure your vote comes from your head and not your heart. Be an informed voter looking to ensure this great nation of ours continues to be just that.
