october in review

i do not understand where october went. we didn't carve pumpkins, or go to a corn maze, and we just got our costumes last night. i'm not sure exactly how i didn't realize the date... but here's what did go down this past month.

 - we went to portland! it was the perfect trip, and i'm going to post some pictures eventually.

 - we got to stay a couple nights in boise on our way to and from portland. the sweetens are my favorite and i wish i got to hang out with them every weekend.

 - i got to see janiece for the first time since a lunch-date in may. she spent a whole saturday here, and we ate, and shopped, and bought a lot of things from trader joes.

 - we had two breakfast double dates at finns. (so far i've only had the eggs benedict, and i don't know if i'll ever feel compelled to switch it up)

 - the fall fun group has had a conference breakfast, gone to a haunted forest/leatherbys (that place should just sponsor us at this point), 2/3 of us watched an 80's movie with root beer floats, and this week we're having a halloween dinner. (also 2  members have done all this with a newborn baby. impressive, yes?)

 - we met my parents in ogden this weekend for an early/late birthday celebration. (my brother's birthday is the week before mine, so we usually have some kind of family outing to celebrate them both). we played some glow in the dark mini golf, got dinner, and went to a 3D movie. it was a super lot of fun. i really like those people who raised me.

 - i got to help brian with a maternity shoot. it was really enjoyable and we got some insider information about living in portland. (as the subject of the maternity shoot was raised there)

 - through the gift of awesome friends having yard sales we scored a treadmill this weekend for crazy cheap and it now resides in our second bedroom. i've used it once and i'm already in love. i will be naming it soon. (because something you're planning on spending time with should really have a name)

the best thing that happened this month was all the time we got to spend with family and friends and definitely our boise/portland trip.

the worst thing that happened this month was realizing i didn't have any bbq sauce for our hot dog dinner.

happy end of october!
