Happy Thanksgiving!

Harry and I spent Thanksgiving in Raleigh with my brother, sister-in-law, mom and dad. This was the first year Clay and Karen hosted a Thanksgiving dinner and they did a great job. To add to the excitement of our Thanksgiving, Harry and I also found out that we are going to be an aunt and an uncle again... Martha and Ed are pregnant! As you can imagine, we had a great day.

We started the day by running the Ridgewood-Cary Turkey Trot. A 5 mile run is a great way to make room for lots of food!


Clay, Karen, and dad carving the turkey... yummy!


Clay and Karen celebrate their kill and carve.


Harry and I, ready to eat!
We hope all our readers had a great Thanksgiving!

Gonna Do The Things That I Want To Do!

It has been a very long and VERY stressful week. I feel like this Weezer song puts my attitude into perspective well.



The Weezer music video is great, but I can't embed it on our website.

Carolina Renaissance Festival

Today, Harry, Joanne, Siggy, Jessica, and I went to the Carolina Renaissance Festival. It was an interesting experience, to say the least. Joanne said it best upon leaving, "I've never felt more normal in my life". Yes, many of the Renaissance people make you feel very normal.

Harry and I enjoying the sights (sorry, nobody of interest in the background).

This group was called Barely Balanced. They were really good so we caught 2 of their acts. This was the first.


She is juggling knives standing on his shoulders. He is standing on a teeter-toter.


More juggling (and abs of steal!)


This was an odd site... camel rides. Very Renaissance!


Of course everybody rode around on elephants during the Renaissance.


Next, we made our way over to the jousting arena.
Here the knights are ringing targets.


Getting ready to joust to the death!


A hit!


He's not looking so good.


Next, the axe fights!


Then, the sword fights.


Don't ever trust a pirate.


Then, back to Barely Balanced for their fire show.


One of the guys is laying on the ground holding the girl up by her shoulders. She is doing the splits, upside down, while the other guy juggles fire standing on her thighs. Harry and I are going to start to practice this move, it seems really easy.


Another balancing/fire juggling stunt. Amazing!


Harry and I as king and queen.

Life's Not Fair

Tonight Harry and I needed to hem some pants. I will be removing 1 inch from his pants and a little less than 4.5 inches from my pants. While buying the pants that I will be altering, enough to make myself some sleeves with the left over material, Harry commented that men had a big and tall store; why don't women have a short and squatty store? I have to agree... where is my short and squatty store? I would proudly shop there!

Halloween Party

Yesterday Harry and I went over to the Harbin's for a Halloween costume party. We had a great time.

I was dressed as Angela Martin and Harry was dressed as Dwight K. Schrute, both from The Office.


A close-up. Harry looked a lot like Dwight, my Angela wasn't that convincing.


Our friends Jessica and Siggy came dressed as a PC and a Mac.


Nicole, the German girl, PC, and Angela.


Harry loves Mac, and Mac loves Harry!


The whole group.
We hope you had a Happy Halloween!
