Fall Break

Fall Break was AWESOME! I couldn't say much about it before we left because it was a surprise to Nathan. When he got home on Wednesday he thought we were heading to my moms for the break. However MUCH to his surprise I had booked two nights at the West Baden hotel in French Lick, IN(home of Larry Bird). After the 'Erin, what are you talking about?' conversation was over and the bags were in the car we were off. We spent Wednesday at my moms and Thursday we enjoyed the day showing the two families their pictures that I had taken a few weeks back(yes jessie I will post some pics for you in my next blog :) !!) That night before we headed to French Lick we enjoyed a delicious dinner at my uncles restaurant- while we were there I also got to see 2 of my cousins, Leila, Michael and his soon to be wife(my soon to be cousin) Lara along with my grandma. That was a very nice surprise to the dinner!
After dinner we made the hour drive to our hotel. This is what we saw when we walked in.... it was absolutely beautiful.



On Friday we slept in.... until 11 o'clock!!!!! I have never ever seen Nathan sleep that long- it was awesome.
rough life huh...


We spent the rest of the day walking around the town and visiting Larry Bird Ave.

trying to take a picture together under the road sign...it was harder then you think!

and seeing the beautiful fall colors. We stopped for an ice cream snack on the hotels veranda and enjoyed watching the deer run in on the hotels grounds. This place was so big and beautiful. Every detail of the hotel was thought-of and just perfect.


Dinner was at a local pizza joint and then we went bowling. Now let me just say that I am no professional bowler however.... I BEAT NATHAN!!! This is the first sporting event(other than golf) that I have EVER beat him at ...it was a great feeling. I bowled a 167 and he had a ??? I wont tell because I don't want to embarrassed him too bad- but lets just say it was a big win!
After bowling we went into the casino and played a few slots. I lost my 20 bucks but Nathan won 30 so we came out 10 bucks up. If you can't tell we are pretty high rollers! haha

Saturday we got up early and headed back to my mom's to help her finish putting things back in the basement after her flood a few weeks ago and to help her hang Christmas lights. It was so nice to spend the day outside with her and in the country. How I pray that we will have a home in the country someday. It was hard to leave and there were tears shed but we were so thankful and blessed for the time that we got to spend down there.
We made the trip back last night so that Nathan could go into work today. We forgot about the time change but it was a very nice surprise this morning too.
This afternoon we are heading to take our niece and nephews pictures! I am so excited. I have lots of editing and things to get finished before that though so I better get back to work. Happy November(is that not crazy!)
God is good.
