here and there...

With it being a long weekend, Danny and I decided to make the most of it and keep ourselves busy. On Friday, he worked a half day and then went and played a round of golf. Owen and I stayed home, went for a walk and finished cutting out flowers and tags for Joanna. On Saturday we had planned to get up early and drive over to Cullowhee to see the changes on Western's campus and to just walk around (school is not in session right now, so we had the entire campus to ourselves.) Owen decided to take an EXTRA long nap, therefore we didn't leave until almost 3:00pm. It takes about an hour and a half to get there, so we really should have left much earlier, but we still had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. We parked in the center of campus and walked around, showing Owen all the buildings where we had class, the dorms we lived in, the new and improved stadium. It was a very "remember when" kind of afternoon. Once we left campus, we drove down to the apartment we lived in just before and for a short time after we got married.

On Sunday we drove down to Spartanburg to visit with Danny's grandparents (Nana & Bobo.) Bobo is a professional golfer and Danny has been itching for him to give him some lessons. While the two went to the golf course, Nana, Owen and myself stayed at the house. Nana is such an interesting woman and I always enjoy her company. When we weren't talking about and oohing over Owen, she was telling me all about her upcoming trip to The Antarctic . I ought to mention Nana is in her 70's and is planning to take the adventurous trip where you are doing more than just viewing antarctica from a cruise ship. Once she takes this trip, the only continent she'll have not visited is Australia.

On Monday we took Owen to Toys R Us (for the first time) and spent my flower cutting stipend. It was SO much fun!!!! I can't imagine what shopping for birthday's and Christmas will be like. We went down every aisle and attempted to stimulate Owen with different toys. We ended up getting him a little piano, maracas, a little hammer, touch and feel balls, a drum, and a stuffed Nemo. Out of all these, the only two he seems to like right now are the piano and Nemo.









Owen had carrots for the first time tonight. He seemed to really like them (more so than the peas I keep hoping he'll like.) After he drooled carrots all over my carpet and himself, I decided to put him in an orange onesie.
