More cat pictures!

When my mom and grandmother were in town, my grandmother brought our cats this scratching post that her cat, Sweetpea, didn't ever use. Well, ever since she brought it Roxy has been loving it! Here's a picture of her scratching away.

Sandy is always looking for a place to sleep in the sun. It's kind of hard to tell from this picture, but Sandy is laying on my sweater drying rack and there is a sweater on there too. No wonder I'm always covered in cat fur!

Best Husband Ever!

Chad is such a great husband! He is always surprising me with roses for no special reason. He knows that I love roses and he always gets different colors too. Here's a picture of the recent bouquet he gave me.

Carving our pumpkins

Chad takes out his frustrations on the pumpkin.

Here I am working on my pumpkin.

The Carved Pumpkins!

Here are our completed pumpkins on our porch. I carved 2 cats and Chad carved "C & J" in his.

Here's how they looked with candles lit in the dark.

Our Halloween Costumes

Usually if I have to work on Halloween I just wear all black and put on cat ears, but this year I decided to take it a little further and dress up as the Wicked Witch of the West (complete with red shoes). Although, I think I need a more authentic broom to carry.

Chad decided to dress up as a Resun employee (which he used to be) since he is now self-employed.

More Halloween Costumes

Our nieces usually stop by our house on Halloween to show us their costumes. Karissa is on the left and is a princess and Kathryn is on the right and is a vampiress (but she left her fangs at home).


This year I helped my mom come up with a costume to wear to work. Since she lives in Hawaii she wanted something to represent her Southern heritage. We came up with Scarlet O'Hara - what is more Southern that Gone With the Wind!?! She sent me a picture of her in her completed costume.

Roxysaurus and Sandysaurus

As some of you probably know I would LOVE to be able to put some clothes on my cats and this Halloween I bought a dinosaur hat for them. As you can tell from the pictures I was not successful in getting them to let me put it on as a hat. This is the best I'm going to get from them with this dinosaur hat...

Here's Roxysaurus...

...and Sandysaurus.

Fall Colors

We are fortunate that our neighborhood decided to plant a tree in front of our house. It's really nice to see it change with the seasons. It was so beautiful and bright red this fall that I wanted to take a picture of it. I'm glad I did, because the next week it was more windy and now most of the leaves have fallen off.

Carolina Basketball Home Game

This year I was able to get us tickets to a home game at Carolina. It was an exhibition game against UNC Pembroke. It was so much fun to get to see a game at Carolina in person! I only wish we had gotten there a little earlier so we could have walked around campus more. Here's a picture of Chad by one of the light poles with a Carolina flag.

Here's a picture of some of the flags as you get closer to the Dean Dome.

In the Dean Dome!

Here's a view of the inside of the Dean Dome before the game started.

Here's a picture of me & Chad at the game.

Game pictures

Going to this game made me realize how much we need a better camera! Here's a picture of the game in action.

Not that you can really tell from this picture, but here's Roy Williams standing on the court watching the game.

Here's the score at the end of the game: Carolina 102 and Pembroke 62.

Go Heels!
