Fall Recap

Since I have neglected my blog for so long, I thought I'd play a little catch-up on my busy fall. Here's a look back at some of the highlights.

Virginia Tech vs Cincinnati
In September, me and the thousands of other NoVa Hokies congregated at FedEx Field in Maryland for the VT-Cincinnati game. It was a gorgeous fall day and we set up a fun little tailgate with a bunch of friends. We lucked into finding a friend with 2 extra tickets in the Dream Seats! And boy were they a dream! The 2nd row back from the field! Best seats I've ever had at any sporting event I've attended. Despite another painful outcome of a game, it was a nice little football Saturday.

Annandale High School 10 Year Reunion
The first weekend of October brought around my official 10 year high school reunion. First of all, how is it possible that I am that old?! No way, right?! Eek! Although, it was such a blast getting together with both current and former friends. We spent the early parts of the day at a local pub for college football and then changed into our fancy duds for the reunion which was held at a hotel in  nearby Tyson's Corner. It was a really fun night and I am still to this day proud to be an Annandale Atom!

 Zac Brown Concert
In mid-October, Andy and I went to a Friday night concert at Jiffy Lube Live to see our favorite country artist, Zac Brown Band, in concert! It was a chilly fall night but we had some seriously awesome seats! We purchased tickets in "the Pit" which was standing room only right around the stage. We had a perfect front row view of the entire concert. It was so fun just having a night out with the hubby and singing along to all Zac Brown's awesome hits!

Eric Church Concert
This past Friday, we attended another local country concert at George Mason University. We got tickets with another couple who are very good friends of ours. It was a much smaller arena for a concert. We had a great time having a few beverages in the parking lot and then singing more country songs all night with some good friends!

Halloween
This past weekend my friends and I celebrated Halloween. We went out to a local bar all dressed up in costume. I absolutely LOVE Halloween! It is definitely my favorite holiday! Everything from pumpkins to candy corn to goblins and ghosts. Picking out our annual costumes is always fun and this one was definitely a personal favorite. A League of Their Own is my favorite movie of all time and I was so excited to have found costumes from the movie! Everyone did a fabulous job of dressing up and participating in the fun of Halloween!

I'm Baaaaaaaaack

Sorry I have been missing in action for so long throughout the fall. Lucky for me (or, technically unlucky for the east coast) Hurricane Sandy has provided me with 2 days to catch up on all 9873498 things I have neglected due to the chaos of the beginning of the school year, volleyball season and a busy social life!

Luckily in Centreville, VA, we never lost power and had minimal damage during Hurricane Sandy. The worst was a little leakage from our two windows which directly faced the severe winds and rains. Other than that, Andy and I spent a nice relaxing day in the comfort of our own home, catching up on DVR shows, eating junk food, and staying in our PJ's.

We hope you all had a safe, dry experience through the hurricane and don't have too much clean-up today!
