Weekend Adventures!
On Friday, Matt, Maggie, and I went to an engagement party for Bradley and Taylor. We had such a great time. Maggie had a ball walking around amongst the crowd and exploring the Stroups lovely house. She was the second cutest girl there! Taylor definitely got first place, but Magpie was a very close second. There were a ton of people there. Bradley and Taylor are a very popular couple, and they were most appreciative for the festivities. We are all so thankful for them, and we are excited about the next phase of life for them! I had such a good time, and I forgot to even get out my camera. But, I told Mr. Stroup to pass his pics on. So, when he does, I will post them for your viewing pleasure. (Don't worry, Justin, they are on their way!=))
Saturday morning, we drove up to the Pigeon Forge area, and spent the night in our friends' beautiful cabin (cabin doesn't seem to really fit because this house was amazing). Anyway, thank you, Weavers and Mr. and Mrs. Bailey! We are so fortunate to have such great friends!
We met our Samford friends, the Weaver and Yezerski family, at the cabin. We enjoyed time on the kiddie rides, the guys rode the go-carts, and we went out to eat at a couple of yummy restaurants. Maggie and Lila had a good time together, and we are looking forward to the Yezerski baby (otherwise known as "Freedom") playing with them at our next get together! Yeah for growing families and time together with good friends!
Sleepy men and their even more sleepy daughters...the Weavers stayed with us on their way up to the mountains!
Maggie wanted to get on the train!
So we let her! Allison, Lila, Me, and Maggie having a fun ride!
Daddy took Maggie on the Carousel!
Daddy trying to keep up with the zebra!
Matt had to give a fist pump since he made it through the accident. Notice in the right corner that Andrew spun a little bit out of control.
Andrew was not happy about his situation.
Lila posing on the rocks 
Maggie's gums were still not feeling great. So sad.
Bath time for the girls!
The Yezerski family...with baby boy on the way!
Family shot...look at that gorgeous view!

Fun Times at Litchfield and a Short but Sweet Reunion!
We enjoyed a week with my parents at their condo in Litchfield. Matt and Dad took in a couple rounds of golf while Mom, Maggie and I hit the beach or shopped. We played in the waves, enjoyed time in the sand, went for walks, and even squeezed in a bike ride. We enjoyed more time on the beach in the evenings, went out to eat several times, and then after Maggie was down for the night, we would cap off the night with a game or two of Scategories. We had such a great time!
Maggie had a little cold and has two more molars coming in, but she didn't let that stop her! She was pointing at the beach almost all day long. She would wave goodbye when someone would pick her up just hoping that they were heading outside. So cute! She did wake up a little bit during the night because of her congestion. It was so nice to be able to get up and comfort her knowing that Mimi and Papa would get up with her in the morning so that Matt and I could sleep in. Thanks, Mimi and Papa! What a treat for us and for Maggie!
From the beach, we headed to Sumter for the Gaymon Reunion. It was a short trip but it was nice to spend the afternoon and evening with family. We had a good time visiting, eating great southern food, and hearing stories of all of the Gaymon crew. What a wonderful heritage we have!

Can't Believe it has Been 10 Years!
Go Eagles!!
Last night was my 10 Year Highschool Reunion! It was not a huge turn out, but it was so fun to catch up with the people that did make it. The majority of people looked just the same to me. Which is kind of funny because I feel like I have changed a good bit as far as the way I look. Maybe not.
It is funny how when I get together with old friends it takes me back to those days. We all had a good time reminiscing about middle school slumber parties, classes we endured together, dances, getting caught climbing out on the roof of our highschool...Ok, so that was only me and one other classmate. It was so fun talking about the days at EHS.
It was even more fun finding out what people are up to now. Most are married, some have one or two kids, some pregnant, some have made it to the top of their businesses and are living a very financially comfortable life at the ripe old age of 28/29. It was so nice to celebrate with everyone all of their successes. I was so happy for all of my friends and also whispering prayers of thanksgiving the whole night. How blessed Matt and I are in so many ways. Some of these blessings are the dear friends I have from my days in High School.
Thank you, Lord, for my time at Eastside and for the many dear friends I made while I was there. Let us grow in our friendships and encourage eachother in our walks with You!
Self Portrait before we left
Sugar makes every special event even sweeter.
Erin, Me, Lauren, and Ginny....a few of my favorite people.
Matt and Joseph testing out the camera. Pretty sure the guys were getting bored by this point.
Mark and Joseph
Me, Sara, and Elizabeth. Sara and Elizabeth are living in Baltimore and DC so it was extra fun to spend some time with them.

She's a Dancin' Machine!
Your gonna want to pause the playlist at the bottom so that you don't have music overload. Matt decided to have a little dance party with Maggie one night when it was just the two of them hanging out. Enjoy!

Towels = Toys
Because I have the most considerate and giving husband, Matt gets up with Maggie every other morning...I know, he is too good to be true! In order for the other person to rest a little bit more and to drown out the squeals of delight, we take Maggie up to our bonus room to play for 45 minutes or so every morning...I am getting to the point of this rambling very soon. Anyway, Maggie LOVES to play in the upstairs bathroom. Despite the fact that we have way too many toys available to her, she most often chooses the towels for endless entertainment. Isn't that ironic that most kids choose household objects (and usually ones that moms have to put back again and again) to play with after you have spent money on toys that are age-appropriate and educational. So, right now on Maggie's Christmas list, we have towels, wash clothes, clean clothes that are folded in the hamper, mom's shoes in her closet, and so on. I think that Santa and Mrs. Claus are going to be thrilled at the price tags on these items!

The Discovery of the Cupcake....Magnificent!
Before watching this, you are gonna want to pause the music on the playlist at the bottom. Then, you will be able to hear all of Maggie's adoring fans (also known as our family)!
