Singles Day at Kelly's Korner

So I am linking up with Kelly's Korner's Singles Day in order to give a shout out to 2 amazing women I know and hopefully find some amazing men for them:)


The first one is Holly. She is in her mid 20s and works the front desk at the YMCA I work at. She loves her family and is very involved in her church. She is a great friend to all and is so funny. Members and staff alike love her at the Y. She loves staying fit and exercising. She lives in Marion, NC.

The other girl I would like to talk about it one of my best friends, Leah. She lives down the street and I have known her for about 5 years. She is 31 and lives in Lenoir, NC. She is a band director for middle school and loves her job. She is a strong Christian and loves to eat healthy and exercise (she is my walking buddy). She is really smart and sweet. She has a great family which she is close to and she is just looking for that man to share her life with now. Please comment or e-mail me at lnipaver@bellsouth.net if you are interested in getting to know either Holly or Leah!

This has been a very busy summer....

Best friends Rylan and Gabe at Rylan's 6th bday party



Whew! This has been a busy summer as we now head into 1st grade, fall soccer and of course football season. Jake is such a sweet child who loves God and his family. He is learning how to save, spend and give his money and is SO smart. He loves Science, Ninja Turtles and sports. 

He just lost his 8th tooth so he will be getting a space maintainer in two weeks so we will see how this goes. We are looking forward to an upcoming trip to Michigan and Troy for football games, Pittsburgh for my cousins wedding. 

Life is good.
