Just Another Vacay to Greenville

It was another great weekend in the dirty south of North Carolina. And how could it not be when I get to bask in 75 degree weather? But I must admit that I was somehow under the delusion that the whole nation received Monday off for Presidents Day. Not the case. Apparently that's a Utah thing ... because people out here in Virginia/North Carolina had school AND work on Monday. I find the whole thing ironic, considering that 8 US Presidents came out of Virginia alone! Jefferson and Washington are probably rolling over in their Virginia graves right about now. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter since Richard and I both got the day off anyway. I love me some three day weekends.

I count myself lucky whenever I get to spend time with this little girl.

Bird's nest on the Raleigh Temple grounds.

Even though it's a tiny temple lot, it has really pretty grounds.

I had to sneak behind and get a shot of the Lyman Brothers satellite that my very own cousin Mason Curran put in. Good job Mase ... it's still there.

The temple at dusk.

This temple is literally smaller than a stake center ... I'm not kidding.

So pretty.

I'm really not sure what kind of trees these are ... but I like em.

One of the highlights of my trip: seeing this car in the Raleigh Temple parking lot. It belongs to one of the temple workers, no doubt. Haha.

Just like "Virginia is for lovers" ... "North Carolina is for racists" Haha. I'm joking.

It had been a while since I'd been here, and it was delicious. And no Miranda, we did not get the Godiva chocolate cheescake ... we got a red velvet cheesecake, which was amazzazing!

This little Sissy is starting to get sassy, much to the dismay of her parents.

You really can't stay mad at her for too long though, because she's just too cute.

On my last trip to NC, some members of the Greenville ward thought I was Eileen's cousin ... and this time they said I looked like Rich's cousin. So I guess it's up in the air ... I'll have to take another trip down there to settle the matter of who I belong to.

Sissy decided to initiate a knife fight with me during dinner.

Playing around in the living room.

The hair ... is amazing. It's even long enough to put into pigtails now.

Sissy was helping me pack up my stuff ... with nothing but her diaper and the companionship of her ECU teddy bear. Trust me, it was REALLY warm this weekend.

Workin' Nine to Five

I don't really work 9 to 5 ... I actually work 10 to 4 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Granted, it is the off season. When the season actually gets here, it's gonna get crazy. But seriously, I have the greatest job in the work. Some people had been asking me about where I worked, so I'm posting a few pics from this past season. The window to my office is on the far right of the press box. When you have a little bit of money in the bank, I implore to come out to Pulaski and enjoy a game at Calfee. PLUS, I can get you in for freeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Above is the cover of this past season's program. That's where I work.

This little Seattle gnome sits in my office. I don't know where it came from, but I like it.

These are our open-air suites along the first base line. We have about 50 people/businesses on a waiting list to get one of these ... probably because they are CHEAP. You can get one of these for $1,500 for the season. And that gets you 10 tickets a game for 34 home games. DEAL.

The guy on the bottom right in the black shirt is a die-hard. He would have me translate between him and Ramon before almost every game. He would offer him food, cash, or even a date with his granddaughter (anything you could imagine). After I told Ramon what he said, Ramon would always look at me weird and say, "No, thank you". Haha. Priceless.

Shot from the top of the grandstand. The big building with the green roof contains the concessions kitchen and in the back is where the clubhouse is, along with offices and training rooms. It's a quiant little park, but I love it.
