Fri-yay! (after the longest week in history) & the holiest day of the year.
My friend from work Ali had to do an assignment for her world religion class, she had to go to one religious event outside of her own religion and it was due this past Sunday. I offered to go along with her because I love religion & history and I also know how scary that again be to go to by yourself. Well Ali had choose to do Judaism. She looked up the close synagogue, which was in Greensboro and of course they were having a service at 8. Friday evening I got all dressed up, she picked me up and we were on our well. We get there and the place is packed. This Synagogue was in the middle of a quite neighborhood and BAM synagogue full of people. We finally find a parking spot and a police officer, directing traffic of course (yes, that many people,) we get out of the car and ask "what exactly is going on here? My friend has an assignment to go to one religious event outside of her own." His exact words "Oh it's Yom Kippur! You won't be getting in." and we that we left. I had no clue what Yom Kippur is so therefore I pulled out the always handy phone and googled, well, it's the Jewish religion's Holiest day of the year... Yep. That happen.
According to Wikipedia "Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר, IPA: [ˈjom kiˈpuʁ], or יום הכיפורים), also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for theJewish people.[1] Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jewish people traditionally observe this holy day with an approximate 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services." No big deal right?
Needless to say we left foolish.
What was suppose to be a religious night wound up being a Mellow Mushroom and Annabell (I covered my eyes in parts of this movie. I am a 23 year old woman) night. I can't really complain too much.

My pumpkin took me to pumpkin patch
Earlier in september when pumpkins first started coming out was when I first wanted to purchase a pumpkin and Andrew looked at me *eye roll* and said just wait, "If you can wait I'll take you to a pumpkin patch!" Needless to say I was thrilled, I had never been to one.
Well he took me to Millstone Creek in Ramsuer, NC. It was both an Apple Orchid and Pumpkin Patch. We took a hayride to each section where we were allowed to pick first, our apples, and secondly our pumpkins. I was happier than a kid in, well you know, a pumpkin patch! The weather was perfect!
Later that afternoon, after a late lunch run to Sonic. Andrew went to go hunt with my brother Adam and I meet my friend Krystal at the annual Asheboro Fall Festival. I was thrilled to be going, again the weather was perfect! Krystal and I walked around with her son Owen. Owen got some toy tractor and I happens to stumble upon a both that was selling monogrammed comfort color sweatshirts... of course I bought one, silly. I love monograms (read info). They will have it ready for me in a week. I'll have pictures to come later once it arrives with details of where to purchase.
Once leaving the festival I went home to shower and wait for Andrew to finish hunting. Andrew got back around 8 and then we waited for a call from Kyrstal and her husband Mj so that we could meet them at The Flying Pig for a double date. This was Andrew's and mine first double date. We had so much fun, Mj and Andrew got a long so well that Mj invited us back their place. We were suppose to go night riding with the four wheelers but they had to go pick up Owen, so we just hung out and talked. The boys tried spot deer, with no luck. Later that evening we finally left and I got to stay the night with Andrew (one of my favorite things).

Lazy Sundays and football, of course.
Sunday was the perfect way to end my busy weekend. We spelt till 11, ate lunch with my parents, he went back home and then we ate dinner with his mother, I came back home while he hunted to do homework and finally he back to my house so that we could lay on the couch and watch football ( he doesn't have cable or wifi). It was just what I needed to prepare me for another full week of school and work, the yucky stuff. Also Andrew and I are obsessed with Two Dots, y'all really need to check it out.
A long unproductive Monday
Today I had a check up with my orthopedic doctor about my knee. It isn't any better and I can't do surgery until December after school is over with so what did he do? He stuck a big needle full of steroid in my knew and I went about my day. I hate needles and I can honestly say it didn't hurt until I feel the steroid going into my knee. I almost fainted. After that I went to breakfast with my lovely father, because he came to appointment with because I'm 23 and don't like to go to appointments by myself when I'm have needles put into me (judge away). Also McDonald's has a really good Pumpkin Spice Latte. It isn't Starbucks but since we don't have where I live it's nice to know I can get my fix closer by and cheaper! If you have been debating on trying it, you definitely should!
After this I went to Andrew's for lunch and headed to class. I got some grades on certain work i turned in so i'm very happy about that and Andrew packed me the apples we picked on saturday and they were uhhmazing!
After ASL, i went to Old Navy and I was able to actually buy a whole outfit from there, i was surprised. Details of the outfit later to come this week.
Night class sucked.
I came home intending to make cookies and of course we didn't have butter to I said "screw it."
My knee is killing so therefore since i'm being lazy, I decided to do the whole blog thing.
I hope everyone had a good Monday an a amazing weekend. I hope the week is good to y'all!
