Investment Advise

Thank you to my husband for passing along this very valuable information.
If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49left. With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000. With AIG, you would have less than $15 left. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the
aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Vacation Pics

Outer Banks Vacation

We spent last week in Emerald Isle, NC with my family for a fun filled beach vaca! This was the first time we have ever vacationed all together in one house. It was a great time and I loved being able to spend so much time with everyone, especially my nephews. They are growing up so fast and do/say so many funny things. Colin has SO many questions, why this, why that....sometimes no one knew "why" so we made something up! Overall this place is perfect for a fun, restful beach vaca. The beaches are not crowded at all and it is a qiuet, small town. There are some things to do but we opted mostly for beach and pool time. One day we did take a ferry out to a private island called, Shackelford Island. It was basically another beach but this one had lots and lots of shells and we saw one of the wild horses, pretty cool. We ate and drank(some of us)A LOT and played games. They boys kept busy, my sister in law basically packed a toy store, not sure how they fit clothes in their car? So many games, toys, books and even Halloween costumes, we had lots of action going on at all times. That was our official end of summer fun, it was great and now back to reality!

Greek Festival Fun

Last weekend we went to Dillworth for the Greek Festival. I was thinking about some delish gyros and Greek baked goods all day long. Kevin was excited to try Mythos, the Greek beer. So as we get there I am thinking the sweets and gyros will be satisfying enough for me. Not so much... those Greeks LOVE the sugar and spices. It was so sweet even my large sweet tooth couldn't handle it. Honestly, I just wanted a beer, just one little beer. On Saturday I gave in, honoring the OSU game I did have an O'douls -- and soon realized this would be my 'go to' if a craving struck. Friends, if I am the big pregnant lady drinking O'douls at the next function, please don't judge. :) . Great weekend overall and I did have a great time at the Greek fest(loved the Gyro) and as you can see below my friends had a great time too, loving the beers and loving the goodies. Check out Bobbie in the corner licking his lips!

Big News

Well as I have said many times, there is 'something' in the water here in Berewick. We too have 'drank the water' and are expecting a baby this March. We couldn't be happier to add a new little one to our family :) So far I am lucky to be feeling great, I came out of the first trimester without any sickness or issues. We will be finding out the sex sometime in Oct. I will definitely update when we know.

Labor Day Weekend

I have been bad about taking pictures lately, mostly because things have been pretty quiet due to Kevin being out of town for work. He has traveled A LOT this summer, to and from Pope Air Force base for work. He is finally nearing the end of that and was so excited to 'kick' off the weekend with football. He was positively giddy about all the games and made it a point that he would get "all his chores done so on Saturday and Sunday he could focus on football". It was fine with me, he's been working hard and deserved it. We ended up getting together with neighbors and his sister over the weekend(again, no photos..) but we really enjoyed just laying low and watching some games and hanging out together. We'll be trying to hit the pool a few more times before it closes and looking forward to our vacation in a few weeks. I will have pictures to post for that :)
