Already it's the middle of October! Only 1 week and half left in the month! Crazy! Yesterday marked the official 8 months left to go! I gotta tell ya, I am so excited and ready to become a Mrs. I know I've got a great one. My mom said to me the other day that she really likes Brendan and she doesn't doubt that he will be a great husband to me. She went on to say that she was proud and excited that Brendan will be her son in law. :o) That just makes me so happy. I think it's very important that my family loves Brendan too! Believe me, my mom is strong in her opinions and lets it known to me if she agree/disagrees in my choices. I know I've made a great choice.
So with this awesome October weather, comes the allergies and the sniffles and the coughs and the tissues galore! For over a week now, I've been battling this cold! I'm surprised I haven't broken a rib with as much coughing as I've done in the last week! But I think I am FINALLY getting better. I had to stay out of work Monday which stinks. I don't like missing work. I feel like I am neglecting my kids of their learning. Crazy, I know. BUT we have a lot to cover and with report cards going out next week, it was just not a good time to be out!
So back to it being October! How crazy?! Time is ticking away! Just think how close Thanksgiving and Christmas are and then there's New Year which means it is then 2009!! Whoa!! YAY!!! So excited in case you can't tell!! So Halloween is approaching and Brendan and I are going to pass out candy for the first time at the house. I'm excited. I'm sure Brendan wishes that there would be a limited amount of Trick or Treaters so that he can eat all of the left over candy. OHHH and we got the good stuff- reeces, twix, hershey- that whole mixture! We are not going to be THAT house that gives out boxes of raisins. Booooo! So with Halloween comes such fun activities such as carving pumpkins! I'm so excited about doing this! I have never carved a pumpkin! I know!! In all my 24 years, not a once! So Brendan and I are carving 2 pumpkins this weekend. I'll post pictures afterwards! ALSO, Halloween costumes! This year we are not feeling over the top festive to dress up! We are doing home made costumes. Well, semi-homemade. (Sandra Lee...my fave) Last year Brendan was the Hamburgler....you know from McDonalds. His costume was awesome! He worked hard on it and it looked so great! I was a pirate- not very creative. This year I am going to be Lady Bug! Which happens to be the only bug besides a Roly Poly that I am not afraid of! I am making it though. Brendan is still pondering his costume. Pictures to come too!
I know this blog has little to do with wedding planning so I'll throw in some updates now! :o) I'm kind of an ebay fanatic. I don't buy often, but Ebay can be addictive. I find the greatest teacher supplies on there. BUT, Saturday, I was looking on Ebay and came across a lady who had closed her bridal boutique and was auctioning off some of her left over items! So I looked through and saw some fantastic shoes! So I put in my max bid and I won them yesterday for $5.50! Yay!! Oh and of course they are NEW IN THE BOX. I'm not going to wear some shoes from some stranger! eww
More wedding planning news. I am getting frustrated with the florist. It's been 2 months almost and still have not recieved an estimate of the flowers! I called twice! I'm going to call again and if nothing comes of it, then I may just have to go elsewhere. Dillon is so small that this was my only choice in Dillon so I am going to have to go look out of town now if this florist doesn't come though.
So that's all for now. I know this turned into a lengthy blog-sorry! Have a spooktacular night! :o)
