Well, this weekend Kevin and I drove to a farm in Franklin to see all the pumpkins. On the way there we got Starbucks and I drank it in the car while he ran over to see the ESPN Game Day thing going on at Vandy. Of course I clarified that it was a big crowd of people, squished and standing around and yelling at nothing before I decided to wait in the car. Technically I suppose they were yelling at cameras. Whatever.
So we get to the farm, and my stomach's a little weird. Like blarg-full of starbucks. But I sucked it up and started checking out all the pumpkins and gourds for sale, and then we walked over to the part with bored looking goats in their pens, and then we got into the corn maze. It was real big and there was this little family with a stroller that kept trying to cheat and follow us. So I told Kevin we should start running whenever we heard those dumb stroller wheels rattling. We did. I guess it was around 1 o'clock then, and it was really hot outside. We were going to do some "Nature Trail" thing too but my iced chai was boiling away in my stomach and I told him we should probably just head over to the pumpkin patch. They had a huge area of pick-your-own pumpkins, so we walked out there and started looking. I started wondering what would happen if I threw up out there, and decided to sit down for awhile. I sat on a pumpkin in the middle of the patch and Kevin wandered off. After awhile I felt better, and grateful to the pumpkin I was sitting on, so I chopped it off and took it over to pay for it.
Kevin got three pumpkins: a short fat green one, a tiny yellow striped one, and a medium orange one. I didn't get a photo of those...I should have. They look good together.
Well guys I am excited. A week from tomorrow will be my last day working here, then it's onto tying up the last loose ends to move to Nashville.
There is one thing right now I would appreciate your prayers for, besides the move and all the changes there, and that is my little sister. She has started to get sick again and returned home from college with my mother today. I'm not sure what's going to happen there but she'll be away from the stress of school at least. She is precious, guys...and I know it must be so frustrating to return to school after 9 months away only to go home partway through the semester again.
So that's the update for now...most likely my next post will be from my new home.
