"married" weekend

Thomas said that he actually felt "married" this weekend....what that means I have NO clue. But it could have something to do with the fact I've been in Huntersville since Thursday night. Working from home Friday and today is BORING....especially since I'm having to concentrate on one thing. But it will be worth it in the long run when I've got new staff trained and can be in NC full time....so Thomas will ALWAYS feel married ! HA!

Seriously, this has been a bland weekend for us. Basically sitting around watching the Olympics. Thomas loves the shots of China...he's seeing places he's familiar with, and the historical bits they're throwing in there. The opening ceremonies were just AMAZING!!! Some people are so talented and creative. The part that got me the most was watching Yao Ming, this HUGE man, walk in with a child.....whose heart was huge also. Hearing how that 2nd grader ran back inside his school to save other children, then walked with his sisters 7 miles to safety. How awesome is that?!

Now we're watching the events...it fascinates me to see all the skill, dedication and talent of everyone out there. What an amazing experience!!!

Anyway, several posts back I said something about posting wedding pictures. So here are a few....

Disjointed....

So we're still doing the distance-marriage thing, at least for a couple more months. My goal is to be in NC full time by mid-November. Thomas would like it to be sooner, but since we can't find a Development Director I hate to leave the shelter in a bind. We have golf tournament coming up October 19-20, and I always love that event!!! The guys at Travinia are wonderful, and make my life so easy in several areas during that event....plus the food is great!!!

Anyway, as I digress....in NC again this weekend. We did registry completion stuff at Bed Bath & Beyond last night, Target hopefully today. Thomas just loooooves doing this....he tried to sit in the car last night while I was shopping. HAHAHAHA!!!

Today we're off to see his great-uncle Mac in Salisbury who is very ill. We keep praying things will get better, but it's all in God's timing.

On a brighter note, Thomas bought a mini-season ticket pack for the USC games....woo hoo!!!
I've got him helping me come up with personalized tag ideas....something to do with the "real" Carolina, b/c I refuse to have just a "normal" NC tag. Maybe next year we can get them for the full season....but I do know that on August 28 we will be in the stands at Williams Brice cheering on the Gamecocks and hoping they beat NC State!!!
