Why Hello October

Is anyone else as ming-boggled as me that its OCTOBER?! The next thing you know, I'm going to turn on the radio and hear "jingle bells, jingle bells..." This year has flown by faster than any other that I can remember... well, like they say "time flys when you're having fun!"

October has defiantly made her entrance. What is up with all of this rain?! I am getting married in exactly 1 year & 3 days from now. I hope it is not this cold this time next year.... brrr... I'd need a parka to go over my dress.

Anyways, I'm so happy that it's a new month full of new opportunities! The first day of the month I had a great closing, which was a fabulous way to ring in October. The next day was Mason's 1st birthday party and we had a blast! The weather was absolutely perfect for a outdoor party, and I was so excited to get to spend some real QT with my Meagan, after which we went to Robert's for what seems to be the last bonfire in semi-warm weather. We made homemade sangria and carried it around in our Rubbermaid pitcher all night.. It was awesome! Sunday was full of football, good food, and of course grocery shopping. (my favorite!)

Here are some pics from this weekend, including Mason devouring his 1st birthday cake, the bonfire, and Darick & I being pretty typical in Target on Sunday afternoon...








This week I'm vowing to each healthy! Darick came home with gym memberships the other day...he is soo subtle! I will admit that I am ready for winter hibernation which includes all the comfort foods that I replace with sun in the warm months. My goal is to NOT gain 25 lbs. :-/

Stand tuned for my next blog- my mom and I are making homemade chocolate lollies! The first of many experiments for wedding favors.
Happy Monday to you!
