Gatlinburg Trip

TJ and I took a weekend trip to Gatlinburg and drove through the Smoky Mountains. We had so much fun and it was great to get away for a little while! We got to see some fall colors, but most of the trees were already bare. Lola loved it!

Fall in Charleston

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile. Life has been busy! My first semester of grad school is coming to a close very quickly! I have tons of projects and papers to finish up in the next few weeks, I have a trip home for a few days, and then TJ's dad, sibs, and grandparents are coming for a visit for Thanksgiving. Then there's only 2 or 3 weeks til we go home for Christmas Break! We are finally experiencing a cold day in Charleston. Today the high is only 54-- But by Sunday it will be 79! What a joke! I can't believe its going to be almost 80 in NOVEMBER! That's all for now. Love, Lizi

Mom Visits Chas!

Mom came for a week long visit to help me make my wedding dress! We had so much fun!
Here I am making the first cut on my dress!

We visited Folly Beach and went up on the fishing pier.

We had to go to Senior Tequila (twice) and have a big daiquiri!

Out to Lunch on Folly!

Beach Day in OCTOBER!

Look at my fuzzy sand dollar! Who knew they looked like this when they are still alive???

Dinner at Poe's on Sullivan's Island.

Today I took the hardest test I've ever taken! But this past weekend we had fun! (maybe that's what it was so hard?) On Sunday we went with another couple to the beach and went finishing and then out to dinner. (Convertible rides all the way) It was a blast! Days like that must be why we live here!

TJ's Triathlon

TJ ran a triathlon today where he had to kayak, bike, and run. It was actually pretty exciting! He did very well and got 2nd in his age group! Apparently all that kayaking this summer has paid off!

Finally 21!

We went all the way back to Michigan for my birthday! We stopped in Virginia to pick up my new car and still made it for a birthday party at my parent's and a couple drinks at the bar at midnight! It was a CRAZY weekend!

Mackinac!

TJ and I had been excited to go back to MI and visit Mackinac the WHOLE summer! So we finally made it up there and had a blast. TJ's family even made it up there to see us one day.
