Second day of Fall?

I've been really quite good about being a Vermonter in Tennessee... However, one thing I will never get over is the fact that it's 90 degrees on the second day of fall and the only reason the leaves are falling off the trees is that it's been dryer than my humor here. Alright, that's it for my peeve of the day. :~)

Friday I was feeling, well... Cramped being inside so Jamey took me out for some entertainment and dinner. It was really nice to go out and not just to Wal-mart.

Saturday we didn't leave until 12:30pm so we got to sleep in a little. It only took about 5 hours to get to Jerseyville IL. It's about an hour away from St. Louis. We went passed the arch, but the batteries in my camera were dead so I missed that opportunity. It was a beautiful day out, but it was hot. Jamey had the air on and to keep myself from freezing I wore my sweater that I finished earlier in the day. The one problem we have is the whole temperature thing... I like to have it so I'm cozy (which is about 80), but to have it that way Jamey roasts like a hot dog. So I figured I'd just wear a little more... Especially since he was driving. I think however the people we met thought I was a little crazy. :~) At least they didn't get a wrong first impression! :~) We got to stay in a hotel this time and it was nice. There was a football game on TV, so Jamey was watching... It was Georgia against Alabama, Jamey is a big Georgia fan. I would have taken a picture cause he was so cute, but like I said before the batteries were dead. :~(

Sunday was an equally nice day out and after church they had a pot luck. However, when service was over an adorable 5 year old came over and attached herself to me. She had been looking at me during church and she came up to me after church telling me that she was looking at me cause I was so pretty! :~) Awww... This child must need corrective lenses! :~) I got to play with her and we sat with the children for the pot luck... They had us surrounded! :~) After that pleasant experience Jamey and I went back to our hotel and took a long nap. Driving certainly takes it out of you! We left after night service. The arch was sorta lit for night and I tried to get a picture... This is the best I could do. You can kinda see it in the middle. It looked a lot better in person. It kinda blended with the sky, both at night and in the daytime.

Today I'm recovering from the weekend. Two more weekends that are booked and then we get a break for my birthday. I can't wait to see where Jamey is taking me for my birthday... :~)
