A Belated Fall Overview......

Okay, so we've been out of the BLOGGOSPHERE for a while, life has been busy! We thought we'd leave and overview of our past two months and what we're looking forward to this holiday season. I unfortunatlely have only purchased ONE Christmas gift thus far, way behind most of the family and Jenny Ford! Now that things have slowed down (October was crazy) Blair and I are looking forward to some downtime before the holiday rush begins. So here it is in a flash, the Jenkins fall overview.......

1. Jonathan and Ali North, who are planting a church here in Asheville (Fellowship Asheville) stayed with us for a night. We had great conversation and are REALLY looking forward to being a part of this church. By the way friends in Denton, it's official: Fred Baker and his wife Stacy will be moving here with Jonathan and Ali to launch this new church. More incentive to get you out of Texas and into God's country, NC!

2. Labor Day weekend: We celebrated Lee Anne's 27th birthday up here in Asheville. The whole clan came including Brad's parents, Nancy and Jeff. We had a great time visiting some well known Asheville sights including the Biltmore house. Here is a picture of Lee Anne loving on one of the goats at the farm house.

3. Jenny comes to visit! Jenny + Cara = double trouble! That's right, my sweet heart friend from Austin TX came out to visit. We tore up the town; ate good food, shopped, drank lots of coffee, ate more good food. I miss you friend!

4. Weekend getaway in Blowing Rock: Blair suprised me with a getaway weekend to Blowing Rock NC. Here is a view of the condo he rented for us, AMAZING. I woke up early and DEnton and I watched the sunrise over the mountains. We had a much needed relaxing weekend that included good food, 310 to Yuma (Blair's new favorite movie), cinnamon rolls, OJ, and lots of good talk time. He even came prepared with the most recent issure of People magazine (now that's love).
5. Blair's 10-year reunion: Can't believe it's been 10 years since Blair graduated HS. We had a great time seeing Blair's old friends...6. Cara turns 29: Can't believe it, only one more year from 30! We enjoyed the B-day weekend camping with Denton. Blair bought me a great clock for our hallway (he has great taste).
That's all for now. I'll try to be better about updating our lives. Things to look forward to:
1. Thanksgiving: Chris and Caroline McGlade will be joining us this year in Greensboro, we can't wait.
2. Holiday Night 2007: Oh Yes, Cara's big program this year is entitled "Dancing through the Holidays."
3. Wearing sweaters and postponing leg shaving!
4. Blair's trip to Florida in mid-November with students...
