It's Raining Men! (and some Women)

This morning my friend Rhonda and I got up way too early and went to Operation Toy Drop at Ft. Bragg.  You can read more about it here: http://tinyurl.com/d4a9lcbLong story short, Jump Masters come from all over the world to give a lucky few their foreign jump wings.  To even enter the drawing to jump, soldiers must donate a toy, that will go to the less fortunate this Christmas.  So its a great cause, and great to watch :)  Enjoy! xo

Weekend in the mountains!

This weekend I drove to Hickory to visit with my aunt and cousin :)  Saturday we drove to Blowing Rock, which is a cute little mountain town in NC.  After some shopping and lunch, we dropped my cousin Caitlin off at her house and got to see her horses.  They were pretty entertaining :)  Then we had a game night with my aunt's friend.  Playing Taboo with 14 yo twins is hilarious!!  Today we had a lazy morning...ate bagels and took a walk....then it was time for me to make the drive home :)  It was a good time!!!
