HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE GUAJARDO AND MATT YORK!!

Apples, Apples, Everywhere!

Today we went apple picking at Sky Top Apple Orchard in Flat Rock, NC! It's only about an hour north of here and on the top of a mountain, hince the name, "Sky Top"! It was gorgeous up there this time of year - the trees aren't quite changing yet, but it's definitely the beginning of Fall. Anyways, this orchard was great, we never knew there were so many different types of apples. We ended up with a "peck" of Stamen Winesap apples. But of course, they had the normal
golden delicious, gala, fuji, etc, etc, etc as well! They also had hay rides for the kiddos, goats, lambs, geese, and ducks for petting and feeding - and apparently a pumpkin patch (which we never found)! Anyways, the moral of the
story is - North Carolina is beautiful and picking your own apples is quite entertaining, we would highly recommend it :o)

Guess the weekend is almost over, so I am going to go enjoy a few more hours before the work week starts up again! Ciao!

We need a puppy...

Here's a few pics of us dog sitting Kayla, Matt and Megann's dog - isn't she pretty! No doubt, we need to get ourselves a pretty little puppy soon! They are so entertaining!

CONGRATULATIONS Karen & Jake Barton!!! They have gotten hitched and are now enjoying their honeymoon in Mexico! Man, don't I wish I could be on my honeymoon again...no worries and lots of fun in the sun! Well, I hope you guys are enjoying it! We sure enjoyed the wedding that's for sure! It was so great to see all the PBX girls! I miss you guys so much!

Happy Hump Day!

We are over the hump for this week, Wednesday is almost over! These weeks just seem to fly by lately, it really is amazing! My days go by so fast, which it always a good thing when you are working! I really don't have much new going on here in the upstate. Work has been pretty crazy for both of us lately! Today I ran into two cases where a candidate LIED about their criminal background, hoping we wouldn't discover their fraudulent checks or possession of marijuana!! I just don't understand some people!! That's the temporary staffing world for ya - every day is different! I am very excited about this weekend though - Karen & Jake are getting married!!! YIPPEE...I will provide ample pictures when I return next week! Get excited! Other than that, we have a volleyball game tonight and our house is being inspected tomorrow - so wish us luck on both! Well, I'm out for now! I'll post again with pics of this weekend! **Don't forget to leave a comment & if anyone else out there has a blog they would like to share, pass it along and I'll add it to my list**

House Pics!

So I decided to include a few pictures of the inside of the house, this is what it looks like with the current owners decor! Enjoy....

Contract Signed!

Well...yesterday we officially signed the contract on our house!!! Let me just tell you how much fun it is to know we are going to be owners of a real house! We are going to have neighbors and have to do yard work and be REAL adults!!! We can't wait! The next step is to do all that inspection stuff...guess we'll be learning as we go along! The tenative date to close is November 18th - the weekend before Thanksgiving!! This way we'll be in the house for the holidays! WHOOOP!

Well, we miss you guys and hope that one day you can all come and visit us in our new house! We will have an extra bedroom and plenty of space for all of you! (And of course, if you want to come around Thanksgiving...we could use a few movers :o)

Peace Out! Tomorrow's FRIDAY....YEAH!

A&M vs. Clemson - September 3rd, 2005

Asheville, North Carolina

Now, I thought I'd just share a few photos of a some fun things we've beenup to over the past few months. First, here are some pics of when Janet & Matt came to visit in August. The big estate is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina! Isn't it beautiful up there?!

Our Pets

I'm sure you have heard of our famous little fishes, well now you can finally see the cute little things. We started out with 5 African Chiclids and much to our surprise one day we ended up with a sixth! If you ever decide to start an aquarium, we highly recommend the chiclids, they are the most active little things you can imagine. Just be aware that they can move rocks with their mouths and are very afraid of bright lights and quick movements!

Joining the Blog World

After much heckeling from my sister, we have decided to start our own Blog! I will do my best to keep you updated on our lives out in South Cackalacky, as the Carolinia's call it! To start, I'd like to share a photo of our house. (Well it's not quite ours yet...we saw it for the first time yesterday...but we are convinced it is "the one"! I'll keep you updated on the progress!

Much love!

Kristi and Lex
