Facebook VIRUS!

As many of you are probably already aware, someone hacked into facebook and began spreading a virus. I received what seemed like a normal email message from a co-worker, but when I tried to open it, the virus took over. Apparently, once you attempt to open the email (through facebook), it automatically sends the virus to each of your friends on facebook. Now, this in iteself is not that big of a deal (well, it's not only if you have a good computer virus program installed on your hard drive); what I'm most concerned about are the messages that went out to my friends. It seems as if the messages varied in content and there were several of a pornagraphic nature. HOPEFULLY, anyone who know's me realizes that's not in my character, but I still feel as if an explanation is required. It's no one's fault, we had no way of knowing. Well, perhaps if I had paid more attention I could have caught it in time (like many of my friends have), but I just don't read those warning pop-up's when they appear on my screen! I guess this has taught me a very big lesson!

Update: Charlotte Heart Walk

I'm happy to report that we have now surpassed our goal for the heart walk (despite what the barometer to the right says). A very special co-worker (who asks to remain anonymous) donated $150 to our campaign. In addition, my boss donated another $25. These are both "off-line donations" so they don't get included in the total amount raised until all monies are turned in. This should by no means halt any further donations! One thing to keep in mind is that our original goal was $500, but it was looking as if that goal was unreachable at the time, so I lowered the amount to $300. I still maintain that we did, in fact, meet our goal (of $300), but to match $500 would be a personal triumph!

No Air (Lyrical Hip Hp)

I got totally addicted to "So You Think You Can Dance" this year - this was my faavorite piece!

Chris and I had a wonderful Saturday working around the house. He worked so very hard in the yard all day today - mowing the grass, weed-eating, blowing, replacing pine needles, pulling weeds, etc. But my favorite thing that he did today was plant a flower bed around our mailbox! It's so pretty!







We hung out with our friends at the Kannapolis Intimidators baeball game tonight! It was our first baseball game since we moved to Charlotte! It was super fun and always a good time when we get to be with our peeps :)







The best part of the weekend is that Carolina Panthers pre-season football started today! They began their pre-season playing against the Indianpolis Colts (one of my top 3 teams). We are SO excited that NFL season is finally here!!! This year, the Panthers are gonna be awesome . . . I just KNOW it!!

5 Year Wedding Anniversary

We just got back from a fabulous vacation in Ocean Isle Beach. We absolutely love it there! It's our 3rd trip to OIB and it never seems long enough! We spent our days sunbathing on the beach, wading in the water, reading, relaxing, sightseeing, eating fantastic seafood and really enjoying being together! It was our 5 year wedding anniversary (on 8/2) and we had a great time reminiscing about the last 5 years. What an adventure we have been on together - certainly more than we ever expected - but we wouldn't trade it for the world. We have learned so much about each other and helped each other grow as individuals and as spouses. We are very blessed to still be in love as much as we are after all we've been through together - the Lord is to thank for that! Below are some pictures from our trip. There were also a handful of quotes we thought were worth blogging about. I can only remember two of them right now: "Hey, at least we're saving money on tips this weekend." and "I can pretty much guarantee that it'll be awesome!"

Enjoy the pics from our anniversary weekend in Ocean Isle!!!
