FIRST SNOW DAY!

Can you believe it?!!!???!!?!?!?

Actually, I cannot. I woke up this morning to a 2-hour delay, which had me giddy enough since it would allow me time to finish reading a book I've been engrossed in before work.

I walked to campus as usual with David, but instead of getting on the bus to meet my carpool peeps, I stayed in the library and read. During that time, they ended up canceling Giles Co. for the day. So I am still sitting in the library on campus at VT, figuring out my plans for the rest of the day and what most needs my attention.

Below are a few pics from this morning's snow!!!!

SNOW!

I'll post pics from our annual nlcf staff retreat this weekend, but just wanted to write that it's snowing!!!!

Our first real** snow of the year, and by real I mean it is sticking to cars. Not to the ground and I don't think it will accumulate, but you can see it coming down and on the cars!

Yay for SNOW!!!! :)

The Week(s) in Pictures

A lot has happened in the past two weeks! I wanted to post these pics last weekend, but our camera battery died and I couldn't download them until I located the charger. Fortunately, it was found safe and sound still packed in the suitcase from the Newcomb wedding a few weeks back. Pictures are now downloaded and it's time to share.

HOMEGROUP HALLOWEEN PARTY: OCT. 29

Here's some of the costumes from the night:

Devin & Koren = Mario Brothers


Colbi & Jen...hippie & 80's girl


Jess & Amber = Thing 1 & Thing 2


And here we are... Can you guess our costume?!?!?


DOUBLE CHINN!!! (Aren't we clever?) :)

Time to bob for apples on a string...


Trust me... bobbing for apples on a string is harder than it looks!



WOMENS' HIKE TO CASCADES: NOV. 1









THE HOMEPLACE & DOMINO'S: NOV. 1

My friend Heather was in town for the weekend from Orlando, so after the hike, I caught up with her and some other friends (Ben, Jilian, Mike & Sarah) and we headed to the Homeplace for dinner. After we enjoyed all we could eat, we headed back to the Swann's place to play games. We ended up choosing Domino's and played one LONG game of Trash train. I could be humble and not share the results, but I think I'll mention that I won. :)





HOKIES V. MARYLAND: NOV. 6

We joined David's coworker for a tailgate on Thursday evening before scoring last minute tickets (under face value, of course) to the game!











SPLIT DECISION: NOV. 7

I spent Friday night at a Contemporary Dance Ensemble performance called "Split Decision." Amy, from my homegroup, was dancing. It was an outstanding performance, and I captured a few images from my cellphone.





DT CONG. THANKSGIVING DINNER: NOV. 8

We headed to Dublin to Chad & Stacey's house for a Thanksgiving dinner with members of the Downtown Congregation from church. After dinner, we enjoyed a small fire in the backyard where we cooked S'mores. Yummy.



SYMPHONIC BAND CONCERT: NOV. 8

Devin & Koren (seen as Super Mario Bros above) are in the Campus Band, a symphonic band made up of VT students. Their fall concert was this weekend, so David and I decided to go. They both play percussion, and it was a wonderful concert.

THAT'S ABOUT IT FROM THE LAST TWO WEEKS... HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE RECAP!
