After a 3 week hiatus...

As my last blog 3 weeks ago implied, August=one busy month! My sister sweetly scolded me this past Saturday that she misses reading my blogs and checks it regularly for updates. Well Sally, this one's for you!

My last few weeks have been rather chaotic in it's own rite. I just joined the Chapter Advisory Board for the KD's at Birmingham-Southern College. I am super excited to become an advisor!! Life (and my refrigerator) is over-flowing with the invitations and annoucements of engagements, weddings and babies.... It seems as if 75% of my friends are experience true joys in their lives. I am happy for them, really I am....I'm just exhausted in sharing my happiness with them! To give a run down and shout out, I'll need a drum roll please....


Friday, August 1st - Birth of Henry Nash, son of my wonderful co-worker, Noelle
Saturday, August 23rd - Engagement Party for our dear friends, Riley & Sarah
Friday, September 5th - Birth of Liam Hammel, son of former co-worker, April
Saturday, September 6th - Bachelorette Festivities for dear friend, Sarah
Sunday, September 7th - Bridal Tea for dear friend, Beth
Friday, September 12th - Liam's baby shower (he came early!) and suprise engagement party for our dear friends Rod & Catherine.
Saturday, September 20th - Riley & Sarah's wedding, Orange Beach, Alabama

Did I mention we have two other weddings before the year is over? :)

Anyway, this past Saturday, the Allen residence was a house divided. That's right ladies and jinks, my alma mater, Western Kentucky University played Alabama in football. I was quite torn in which way to cheer....my school that provided me and education and door to the working world, or the school's fight song that I learned right in there with my nursery ryhmes. I cheered for both. Mom, Dad, Sally and Steven all came down for the joyous occasion! Though WKU lost, they helped Alabama jump up to #9 in the AP Polls, putting them one spot ahead of Auburn! Roll Tide!

Chase and me tailgating

We love Big Red!
