Our floorplan/house elevation is featured in this year's Parade of Homes! :) How cool is that?

It is in a neighborhood in Southern Wake County - we briefly looked at, but after seeing they used vinyl siding and some less desirable construction techniques, we were sold on the neighborhood in Wake Forest. I thought it was so cool to see OUR house (floorplan/elevation) in the Parade.
Paul and I hope to get out and see some Parade homes up our way this weekend. The most pricey home in the Parade is in Wakefield (just a hop, skip & a jump away from our house). It is $3,999,900 - Heated Sq. Footage: 15,500 (that is more than 7 times the size of our house!)

Is it actually October?
(UNCA campus, Fall 2002)
For some reason I just can't accept that it is October. My office calendar is still September, I am still writing 9/-- and the weather isn't feeling very fall-like at all. I love the month of October. It is my favorite month of the year (followed closely by May). But for some reason, I just don't believe that it is already here. Go figure!
In other news....
Paul is starting his new job TOMORROW! Today is his last day with Elettric 80. He is packing up all his tools, computer and other company owned things (i.e. cell phone) and shipping them to Chicago. Goodness knows how much that will cost - but it is on the company! :) We're both very anxious about the job change... neither one of us can sleep. The last 2 nights, despite going to bed at a reasonable hour, we've both barely gotten a full 8 hours. I am dragging today, but I've got lots to do b/c our office is moving in less than a month and I am in charge of packing most everything. I'm trying to take it easy, I really don't need to injure myself. But on the other hand, I just want it to be done, but I can't get it all done since we can't get into the new office until Nov. 1. ACK!
Am I rambling? Sure! I'm sleep deprived and hungry - that's a bad combo.
The weekend was ok - we got to spend a little time with our "long distance neighbors," Philip and Jennifer. We took them up to the Middleburg Steakhouse on Saturday night and cooked them a good breakfast on Sunday. It was great to catch up with them, we miss them a lot! We hope to go and visit them soon (Wilmington is TONS more fun than Raleigh/Wake Forest) ;) Jennifer also started a new job this week - and she won't be working weekends anymore, YAY! Big big YAY!
Ok, I've got to get into work mode, I've gotten into a habit of working like a mad woman 7-8am and then taking a break, and then finishing up everything by lunch and then the afternoon drags on....... you'd think I would learn by now. I really do my best work first thing in the morning despite my hate for getting out of bed at 5:15am. That's all for now :)

It is Friday
Need I say more?
It's going to be a busy weekend, but that's ok. At least it is Friday and the workday is almost over! :)

Racing to Save Lives
Our friend and "long distance neighbor" has joined the Team in Training and is training to do a marathon, A MARATHON (as in 26 miles) in January and raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You can visit hersite here to see her progress - GO JENNIFER!!!
From her site, "Yes it is official... I have gone crazy... I am attempting to run a marathon this January at Disney World. Most of you all know my best friend Cathy is a runner and she talked me into running with her this summer. When she began to tell me about the team in training it really struck a heart string with me. Here was my chance to not only challenge myself physically and improve my overall health, but even better I would have the opportunity to raise $3500 which will go toward a VERY WORTHY cause."
Here's a picture of Jenn and I at an airshow at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base last year. (it had been a looooooooong day, but a lot of fun). Thankfully we were on our way to eat some awesome NC BBQ at Wilbur's in Goldsboro, YUM!
