Well, it's Fall and so far I'm not much better at keeping you up to date! I am enjoying Fall, but it is definitely flying by. I am not ready for cold! I just hope we have a huge snowfall this year because it is the only consolation to the cold.
Well, since my last post, I have been to TN - Nashville, Jackson, and Memphis! Nellene and I met there along with a few others. It was hard to believe it had been almost a year since I had seen Nellene or anyone else - it didn't seem like any time had passed. It was so great to see so many people from college and to see the college. It's amazing all that they've done. Although, I have to say I'm pretty jealous of the new dorms at Union! I thought I had it good there - not compared to the new dorms! Every room is bigger in the apartment and there is 2 bathrooms instead of 1 and a washer and dryer! It's crazy... I'll be putting some photos up on facebook of the campus soon (ish - you know me). I also got to see Bethany in Nashville which was awesome because it had been way too long! We always have a good time no matter what we are doing, but once again we didn't take any pictures!! We have a really bad habit of that...
October has been full of Fall and Halloween activities! We carved pumpkins at our house last week with Jenny and Amie - a great way to kick off Fall! :)
Despite our best efforts, we didn't have any trick-or-treaters though! How sad... But we had some Halloween fun at 2 parties. One was Crystal's friend from work's party last weekend. The other was last night at the Clubhouse on Mt. Washington. My friend, his wife, and 2 of their friends threw the party. So, it was huge - about 300 people. It was a fun time! This party has been going on for almost 10 years now and always has a costume contest that has become a pretty big deal with a Golden Pumpkin trophy for the winner. So, there were some pretty awesome costumes - my favorites included pacman complete with ghosts attached to his back "chasing him," Bob Barker with a Price is Right contestant, the Cookie Monster, and the Geico Cavemen. They all received honorable mentions for the contest. But, crazy enough, the winners were lawn ornaments - a gnome, jockey, and flamingo... and the best part is it was US!
Notice the grass on our feet and the trophy sitting behind us before we knew it'd be ours!
Then, WINNERS!
Well, that's the update for now! Crystal, Jess and I are going to NYC this week - so that will be more excitement. We are going for a long weekend and leave Thursday night!
Happy Fall!
