A very busy month indeed...and this was not even all the photos! I was the coordinator/planner/executioner of the family picnic for work...which was a blast! I actually worked with the screenprinter to design a t-shirt for us, worked with 2 catering companies on food...and finally I left the annual softball game to the fellas! (Who, I might add, didn't realize they were supposed to do anything in advance! hehehee!) We almost didn't have any gear for playing ball! MEN...sometimes you just gotta wonder!
Work also had a special outing for those of us who wanted to participate....a TITANS football game. All expenses paid! (can't believe we didn't have more to go than we did!) We chartered a bus, invited 1 guest per employee and took off. Seems the Titan folks do special 'corporate' tailgate parties and we got in on the fun. Of course, we had seats next to the sun! It was hot that day too....must have been in the 90's! I took Zach with me...he had so much fun and so did I. He got to meet 3 of the cheerleaders!
We also had a halloween costume contest at work! I won 2nd place! Perty cool! Every year since I started there (3), I paint that web design on my right eye...wear regular clothes and go off to work. I have a blast with it cause no one else ever dresses up or anything...but this year somehow someone thought of a contest!!! I expounded upon my 'web' theme and became a "Spider Bride"....made my own costume and had fun! The 2nd place prize was $50 and they hid $20 coupons (5) in the office and if you found one you had to redeem it with the office manager...I found the first one and cashed in! What fun! Afterwards, we left work early to go to the courtsquare for the annual trick or treating...businesses set up around the sidewalks in front of stores and hand out candy for the kids...uh...well, some where adults who trick or treated us! Since we are a trash company...we had to have Oscar the Grouch on site! Plus we had to decorate our pop-up tent! That stuff is always fun, you know? Guess who made the front page of our local newspaper????? If you guessed me...YOU ARE RIGHT! ehheheee! What a surprise to see me in my costume handing out the candy on the front page of Thursday's paper and IN COLOR!
We also had a harvest fest weekend @ church that was a blast with music, hayride, jump-a-lines, rock climbing, trick or treating, baptisms, outdoor services and a chili cook off that I am so proud to say....CHARLIE won for the 2nd year in a row. Grand Champion Chili Chef! It was a tough competition....against about 30 or so other pots of chili. Hands down, they say, he won. He is so thrilled! It was an incredible weekend. For the record, he actually does make his own chili and it IS good!
We have also had a bi-monthly tech team family gathering, we are both on the tech team...he is with the Lighting Team and I am Creative Arts Director. Over 40 of us gathered for good food, fun and planning. Our church is growing by leaps and bounds and with that, the tech team demands. It is great fun though!
My Beth Moore bible study came to a close this past Tues. and what a major study this was....and soooo rewarding. We had an incredible group this time. Our group had the opportunity to go to a women's conference yesterday in Paducah where the featured speaker was Jennifer Kennedy Dean, awesome author of some wonderful bible studies---Live a Praying Life is the one that I have taken this year. Our Praise and Worship was led by none other than MANDISA herself. What an incredibly talented woman! I was so blessed by her testimony, incredible voice and her story of her American Idol experience! She is such a blessing and what a powerful voice!
October, glad it is over...glad to have the memories....and glad to share with you!
