Pumpkin Carving

Steven and I were inspired by Joe, Kim and the boys so we tried our hands at 'fancy' pumpkin carving tonight. It was a lot of fun!! I don't know if the photos do them justice, but they are very cool out on our front porch. We have one more left to carve, so we'll update when that one is finished too! Enjoy!

Hoosier Hysteria?!?!

I know, I know...I'm a Boilermaker! BUT, this Boilermaker married a Hoosier and so our story takes us to Bloomington for Hoosier Hysteria. Now, you've heard that people from Indiana love basketball...but these people from Indiana LOVE basketball. I've gone to some "Mackey Magic" events during my college career, but I've never seen anything like this! The IU fans LOVE basketball and the history of their team.

I will say the bright spot for me, besides seeing that Steven was very happy we could go, was seeing the renewal of "the mop lady". Do you remember her? Long before I thought about going to Purdue, back in the days when Indiana was REALLY amazing and it was a treat to watch them play basketball on Channel 4...there was the mop lady and she introduced the "Farm Bureau Indiana presentation of IU Basketball". Well they brought her back, and I have a video, but for the life of me, I can't figure out the formatting for this blog and my camera, so if you'd like to see it, you can view it on our Dropshots page. Unfortunately, I didn't have the date set correctly, so look for the video of 1/7/07 (oops!!).

Beth and Josh get married :)

Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the wedding of some very good friends! Beth and Josh were married in an outdoor wedding and thankfully we had a beautiful October day. Beth was stunning and we saw a lot of friends!

Kenny Fest 2009

After last year's poor sound from Lucas Oil Stadium at the Kenny Chesney concert, I had decided that I was not going to go back...until they announced that SUGARLAND was going to be there!! Steven and I had already decided that we definitely wanted to see them again! We had the chance to see them, Kenny, Miranda Lambert, the Zach Brown Band, and Montgomery Gentry (who I can't really stand).


Overall the concert was GREAT!!! We had excellent seats, the sound seemed better, and the mix of entertainers was good. This was also Kenny's last concert and he definitely got emotional during the last song of the night. I'm going to try to post a video (if I can figure that out) of one of my favorite songs "Me and You".

Little Nashville Opry

For Steven's birthday, I got him tickets to see Ricky Skaggs at The Little Nashville Opry. The concert was really good and it was our first time to got to the Little Opry. Little did we know that a month later the Little Nashville Opry would burn down (ironically the same night that we were at a concert at Lucas Oil Stadium). We're SO glad we had the chance to experience the gem that was The Little Nashville Opry

Finally! :)

Well, it's been forever since my last post...but for good reason. We are IN the NEW HOUSE!! Hooray!

Let's catch up: On August 10, we closed on the house. On the 15th we had appliances and cable installed. From the 10th-22nd, Steven and I moved boxes to the house after work every night.

On August 22nd it was the big moving day!! We had a lot of help from family--THANK YOU!!

Since then we've been unpacking, settling into Avon, and working on the Columbus house. Near the end of September we put the Columbus house on the market--we're going to try to sell it on our own at first, so we're hopeful we'll get some interested people soon!

We've also had a lot of fun with concerts, family, and fall shopping--I'll post those pictures too.

Be sure to check out the Williams Family Photo site for more pictures from all of our summer and fall events!! Hopefully things will calm down a little bit so we can post more regularly!
