Weather Update

Anddddddddd it is STILL raining!

Rain, Rain Go Away!

It has been raining for the past 4 days here and is supposed to rain for the entire next week.

Friday night we went to dinner with some friends before going to watch Clemson play Michigan State in volleyball. Michigan State is ranked 17th and the Tigers fought hard but lost in the 5th game. Volleyball is my 3rd favorite Clemson sport to watch after football and basketball.

Saturday we played Boston College in football and won....but not after the longest football game in history! We had two weather delays for a total of 2 hours. The game took an entire 5 hours from start to finish. Lets just say...there weren't many Clemson fans in the stadium at the end of the game! The Tigers are 2-1 and we are looking for our third win over TCU this coming Saturday. After the game we went home to watch some more college football.

Sunday was a cold and rainy lazy day. I think the most productive thing I did all day was returning my books to the library and checking out another one. Now I am watching the Emmys, mainly to see what people are wearing.

Since another football weekend passed and I didn't take any pictures (I really need to get better at taking pictures), I will post one from last football season. Too bad the weather this past weekend wasn't like the picture below!

Lazy Weekend

You know how it is when you set all these goals and plan to get a bunch of stuff down around the house...and then you do nothing. That was us this past weekend. We wanted to get the entire garage done so we could sell a few things we have in there and be able to park our cars in there. ALL we did was clean out ONE box! So much for an entire weekend that we both had off!

So instead of cleaning...we watched football....ALL Saturday! I just love college football. You will always find me cheering for Clemson, Purdue, the ACC and Big 10!

Tonight Colin had his 3rd softball game. His team is 3-0! It's fun to go and watch him play. I am the cheerleader wife :0)

I don't have any pictures from the weekend so I will post one from this summer. It's of Kate, Kari and myself from Kari's engagement party...December 5th will come very fast!

I'm Back!

Ok, so I have been MIA in almost a YEAR! I was really bad about updating my blog but I have decided that I need to start blogging again. The reason being is that I read so many other people's blogs, many of whom I do not know and it makes me want to record my life in words. I want to be able to have a place to look back at all the memories in life as I go forward.

So, since it has almost been a year I will try my best to give a quick overview of the past year of the most important highlights.

1. Colin and I bought a house this summer in Liberty, South Carolina!! We LOVE it! We have been here for 3 months now and there is always something else to be done. We have done a lot of painting but have much more to do. We just love knowing that we have somewhere to call home that is truly ours. Below is a picture for those of you who haven't been able to come visit yet. Speaking of visitors...we love visitors! So please come down to see us!

2. We got a PUPPY! Bella is a lab/spitz mix who is 4 months old. We have had her for about 4 weeks now. I'm not sure how we have gotten so lucky with animals (as you know we have 3 of the best cats ever) but Bella is super sweet and really hasn't chewed up too much...yet. Bella loves the cats...the cats put up with Bella. Below is a picture of our sweet Bella girl, I mean how can you not fall in love with those eyes!

3. Jevin came to visit! Jevin came down to visit us Labor Day weekend. It was so great to see him since I hadn't seen him since March. He got to go to the Clemson vs. MTSU game, see our new home, meet Bella and go to Atlanta, GA. In Atlanta we went to the Georgia Aquarium and to the World of Coke Museum. I always love having my brother come to stay with us!

4. My BFF got married in June! Jessica and Scott were married on June 20th and it was such a beautiful wedding. Jess and I have been friends forever and I can't even start to describe how happy I am that she found Scott to spend her life with and how perfect they are for each other. I love them both and I know they will have a wonderful marriage and life together.

Those are just a short overview of some of the bigger moments of this past year. I can't wait to see all that the fall has in store for the Leonard house. I hope more visitors and some great fall weekends celebrating some Clemson football wins!

I promise to become better at this blogging business...stay tuned!
