Happy Halloween

I cannot believe it's Halloween already! We didn't even have time to get our decorations out this year! We had quite a few trick-or-treaters, though, so that was good! We gave out granola bars this year because we had a ton left over from the wedding and because the "doctor's house" should probably give something half way healthy. We only had a couple kids that looked at me strange when they went to pick out their "candy". haha

So now that Halloween season is officially over, I guess this means I need to start getting ready for the holiday season all together! So my goal this week is to get out our Christmas decorations and to start hanging things in the house so that when we leave for Florida at the end of the month it will already be done when we get back in the middle of December. I also need to finish my Thank you notes from the wedding, finish my application for graduate school, and make my Christmas cards! So I have plenty to do the rest of this week and into the weekend!

I wish all those on the East Coast this evening my prayers and well wishes in a quick and easy recovery from Hurricane Sandy. It looks like it hit hard, but hopefully not as bad as they originally were saying.

Spent

Well I didn't get as many projects posted as I wanted to this last week, but it was fun posting what I could! I still have a couple of photos to add to my last post, but I am hoping to get those done later today!

   This biggest thing today has been finalizing and completing the details of my 10 year class reunion. It has been difficult to try and plan this the way I wanted to while also doing everything else I have been busy with this year. Hopefully we have a decent enough turn out! I am ready to start focusing on other things, though. I'm getting tired planning big events!

   Other than all that, this weekend has been one of the first weekends I have been home in over a month. Ian has had a really rough week at work this past week (I think he worked at least 70-80 hours), so yesterday I promised him a "date" day! The plan was to go to the zoo for the harvest festival, but unfortunately it was rainy and cold most of the day. Instead we decided to get a few other things done. We dropped off ink cartridges to be refilled, went and bought Ian a suit and two dress shirt/tie combos to go with it, bought some seasonal candles from Yankee Candle, and dropped off some Bridal magazines to the used bookstore! It was really nice to spend time together! We went out to eat for lunch and went and explored Prescott, WI for dinner options. We settled on Chinese takeout (we needed to find a good place for Chinese), and had Spotted Cows at a nearby bar while we waited for our food! Then we came home and watched a movie and relaxed! It was really nice!

   Today Ian has been busy while I have been on the computer getting the reunion things finalized! He's now working out, and I think I am going to go finish some Thank you notes! Overall, not a bad day at all! Plus...football has been on all weekend...so we cannot go wrong there! I also need to order some wedding photos because I received 101 free prints from Snapfish! So I need to start planning which ones to order! I'll post one of the pictures I just ordered in 8x10 this week! It's definitely one of my favorites!

Eric Lundgren was an amazing photographer for our big day! I'm so happy with the pictures we have!

Well I hope you all have been enjoying your weekend!
