football and carnivals

The fall is truly my favorite time of year.  I think everyone is just trying to soak up that last bit of nice weather before the misery of winter hits.  This weekend we were crazy busy enjoying some of our favorite fall activities.  I finally was able to see Brady play football.  We missed his first 2 games due to travel.  There is a donut shop here in Arlington that has the best donuts I have ever had in my life, and I am not exaggerating.  We decided to pick some up on the way to the game.  We were nice and picked up a few extra to share.  It is a good thing I have some will power or we would be there every weekend!  We all really enjoyed watching Brady play.  After the game, we headed to New Johnsonville to see Drew's parents and go to his mom's work picnic/carnival.  It was a like a mini fair which was perfect for us since the girls are still too small to ride many rides.  Anna Claire had her first carousel ride (she loved it!), the girls played a few games, we had some yummy food, and even better funnel cake.  It was a busy day, and we were all exhausted, but it was a lot of fun!

Sunday, we tried out a new church.  We didn't have high expectations, but so far we love it!  Everyone was very nice, friendly, and we met several people in our age range.  It finally felt like the place we belong.  Hopefully it will continue to stay that way!  That afternoon, our friend John Mark, from Greenville, was traveling through town.  He stopped to visit and go to dinner.  We went to Olive Garden and it was probably the best meal I have had a Garden in a long time.  We were very pleasantly surprised.  We definitely started our week out good!
