We'll start with my car. I ended up getting it back within 9 days of the accident. It also ended up being close to $4000 in damage rather than the original price they quoted us at. Some of the interior "mechanical stuff" under the hood that I'm sure is extremely important was dented and damaged so they had to replace it. The car has been running good since we've got it back. They did a good job. This picture shows most of the damage. There was a hoofprint on the side and "juices" on the passenger side as well.
We went to the Kenny Chesney concert with Brandon, Tonia, Jessica, and Lauren. It was his final show of the tour and was AWESOME! We have seen him 2 times at Verizon, but this one was at Lucas Oil. Kyle and I had never been there. The place is huge and very impressive. It was an interesting night. We went to Champs for dinner with everyone before the concert where I discovered my new favorite drink-a lemon martini. We left and went to find our seats and were one short, so we ended up getting new seats. We went from the noseblead section which happened to be insanely loud, to the front section straight back from the stage. They were great seats! He had 4 good opening acts which included some guy that sings about fried chicken on a Friday night (I can't ever remember his name), Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, and Sugarland. None of us knew that Kenny was taking time off, so we were surprised when he stayed out on stage for about an extra hour because he didn't want it all to end. It was by far the best Kenny concert we've been to and ended with a very emotional closing song that he could barely get out because he was in tears. Very sweet!
I went wedding dress and bridesmaids dress shopping with my best friend Jackie who is getting married next summer. I had a blast! It's so much more fun when it's your best friend and you don't have to stress and worry about all the wedding stuff anymore. I had a blast and realized that she is going to be an absolutely stunning bride. She looked amazing in every dress she tried on, but ended up making a final decision. I can't wait to see Alex's reaction when he sees her that day!
I went to the Covered Bridge Festival with my parents, Sara, and Chase. It was so much fun. I remember going a few times as a kid and hating it. It's definitely more fun when you're older. It was definitely a little colder than I would have liked, but it was good to spend time with my favorite people and spend money that I really probably shouldn't have, but oh well. They are memories!
A few weeks ago we had Matt and Lindsey Delp's wedding. It was a TON of fun since there was an open bar for everyone all night at the reception. It made for a very interesting night. Congrats to them. They had a beautiful wedding! It's so easy to reflect on your own and realize how quick it truly does go by. It seems like ours was just yesterday and we've been married 4 months now. CRAZY!
And this past week I have been fighting what I'm guessing was H1N1. I have not felt so sick in a long time. My body felt like a truck had driven over it! More than once. On Monday we had at least 120 kids absent and 10 teachers. One of my music classes only had 8 kids in it! It was crazy how small some of the classes were. It's kind of scary that there are this many problems this early in the year. I ended up taking Wednesday off just to catch up on rest. It was my first sick day that I've taken since I got my job at Hershey. It will be my only sick day too. I've got to save my days for whenever we get pregnant. Luckily for me today and Monday are our Fall Break, so I get a few extra days to catch up on rest. I'm definitely glad we have a short break. I was hoping to go somewhere, but it just didn't happen this year. Maybe next year.
Other than that, I think we are finally starting to slow down. I love the fall season! I wish the weather would have been nicer a little longer this year, but it's Indiana. We don't always get what we want. I'm getting excited for the holiday season and spending them with Chase. It's so fun now that we have someone young in the family to spoil. I'm sure he will fit right in for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! I CAN'T WAIT! I better stop now. Here's some pictures from our latest happenings.
