Funny dogs and Micheal Jackson???

Well it's two days before Halloween, and looks who's been spotted...

Matt had his office halloween party on Thursday - and chose to portray the late Micheal Jackson -

See the rest of the photos here:

And who dresses up like Micheal Jackson and DOESN'T dance around to Billie Jean in their living room??  Not Matt....

Autumn in VA....

Matt and I had a fairly busy weekend - we took my grandparents out for the good part of the day on Saturday - to go shopping and have lunch.  That night we went with my parents to the Moneta Drive-In Theater and watched a double feature.

We saw:

"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs":  GREAT movie - we were laughing so hard we cried!  It was awesome... a kids movie but definatly appeals to adults as well. 4 thumbs up!

"Zombieland":  Waste of time... we were told it would be funny - Matt thought it was.... it was pretty gross, and had no plot line. Two thumbs down, two thumbs (Matts) up.

Sunday we FINALLY got the apartment cleaned!!  WOOHOO!  We even had time to take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to look at the fall colors.  We drove up towards the Peaks of Otter.

See the photos from parkway below:

We have three videos from the drive:

We have posted some pictures of our apartment for you guys to see.  It's not much - but we've done what we can.  This is only the kitchen, dining room, living room, and the hall bathroom. It's decorated for fall:

Happy fall everyone!!

Haning up TVs and other boring stuff we do on the weekends....

This past weekend we decided to crack down and finish cleaning/organizing the apartment.  Matt has been wanting to hang his TV for about 2 years now - so I finally gave in, being the sweet wife I am!  So after a 2 hour trip to Target... all much to my delight as I got to get a new vacuum... he started working on hanging the TV above our fancy electric fireplace, haha.

So while he hung the TV, I watched him hang the TV, the dogs ran around eating things they shouldn't have, and nothing else got done.  Well... except for this incredibly boring video I took of Matt hanging the TV.

We did manage to move the bookshelf into the living room and Matt bought conduit (which I mistakenly called convolute all weekend, which is a word I've heard my mom use when I was little, and I'm pretty sure it was about me) to hide the wires and made it all look fairly presentable.

NOTE:

Verb	1.	convolute - curl, wind, or twist together  cause (a plastic object) to assume a crooked or angular form; "bend the rod"; "twist the dough into a braid"; "the strong man could turn an iron bar"
	2.	convolute - practice sophistry; change the meaning of or be vague about in order to mislead or deceive; "Don't twist my words"

Needless to say, I didn't get to use my new vacuum... so that means we have plans already for next weekend. Can't wait! :)

And hopefully, next weeks posts won't be such a snoozefest!

Love,

Matt and Kelly

Now that the honeymoons over...

Things are beginning to become normal again for us now that the wedding is behind us. We are both back at work, back to making dinner again rather than eating out because we finally have time to do so, and most of the wedding stuff has been packed up and we are breaking in all of our new kitchenware!


This past weekend we took Putter and Jane to Dogtoberfest... a fairly large dog festival put on by Saint Francis of Assisi.  It was Janes first festival, and although we thought she would freak out because of her utter hatred of other dogs, she actually did really well!  We took Putter into the agility course and he loved it.  We are thinking about signing him up for agility classes since he seemed to like it.


You can watch a video of Putter doing the course here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srZn3d1WiLc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLGIJbFF8UU


On Sunday we went with Kelly's parents (Nathan and Rhonda) to a pumpkin patch in Floyd, VA.  There we did the hayride out to the pumpkin patch and picked out our pumpkins for this year and we went through the corn maze, which took forever, but was fun.
