Movin' on up!

I am moving to the mountains.  There is a lot of fun to be had, and I plan to have as much of it as possible.  Here are ten cool things that I must do:

10- See waterfalls (Transylvania County has 250)  http://www.visitwaterfalls.com/
9- Go skiing (Cataloochee and Wolf Ridge are nearby) http://www.skinorthcarolina.com/
8- Visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; hike and watch animals http://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm
7- View Christmas lights in cute downtown areas  http://www.visitdillsboro.org/specialevents.html
(scroll down Dillsboro Lights and Lumaries)
6- Go to local festivals (the Apple Harvest Fest is on 10/20) http://www.haywoodapplefest.com/
5- Observe elk in Cataloochee Valley http://www.romanticasheville.com/elk.htm
4- Run around Lake Junaluska http://www.lakejunaluska.com
3- Cook yummy food with locally grown apples (from above said apple fest)
2- Breathe in lots of mountain air
1- Pack my suitcase to visit the folks back home! :)

It's Football Time!

For the App State game on the 1st, I tailgated with Marc and Shelley.  Marc and I grew up at the same church.  Shelley and I took Spanish III together with Mrs. Messina.  This was an early (and HOT) game.  We feasted on Bojangles and tailgated over by the baseball stadium.  We were taunted by the sight of a giant, blow-up mountaineer.  We won 35-14 and proceeded to guzzle down the Gatorade.

Happy Four Months, Little Man!

My super cool nephew turned four months old on September 12th.  Anderson weighs 18 lbs, 11 oz and is 26 inches long.  I think it's time for GiGi and Papa to start babyproofing their house.  Happy four months, little man! :)
