How long has it been?

Wow! It's been a couple of weeks since we've provided you with an update! Let's see where we left off after our last posting on Oct 19......

Oct 24, With nothing planned for the weekend and one my last free weekends before the basketball season got under way, we decided to zip home! Friday night we spent with my mom and dad, had our favorite pizza and played board games!

Oct 25, Back to Newark! Grayson has been playing flag football and we decided it was a great weekend to catch one of his games. After the game, the guys took on painting the garage while the girls stayed inside, cooked and did crafts!

Oct 30, Another NBA Seson is under way! 6 Home Openers are now under my belt! Wow... Time flies!

Oct 31, Larry & Judy came to spend the day with Brandon! With a recall on their Accord, they came to town to get it fixed and to run some errands. After a full day of work for me, we had a wonderful dinner together!

Nov 1, Brandon and I had a couple of meetings re: the home that we will one day build. Maybe a year from now, maybe two, but it's not a process that we want to rush through so we are doing all that we can to take it one step at a time and think things through in detailed fashion. To take full advantage of the wonderful fall weather that continues to bless us, we were then off to Amish Country to shop around with my mom and dad. Mom and dad are looking for new furniture for their bedroom, I was looking for Christmas Stockings and of course you can't leave Amish Country without some good Amish cooking!

Nov 6, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!

Nov 7, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DOUG & JESSICA!

Nov 8, A free Saturday that we had to take advantage of. An oil change for my car and the last of our Christmas shopping... Yes, we are done! Having less time this year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Brandon is wanting to put our Christmas decorations up early! Should I mention that he was wanting to listen to Christmas music yesterday?! We both LOVE Christmas, but I still feel that Thanksgiving deserves it's time too, then we'll tackle Christmas. Saturday night was a night in Cleveland. A group of friends from my work got together at Paul's place to watch the Cavs play in Chicago. I don't often venture to Cleveland on a day off, but it was nice to spend time with everyone outside of the office.

Nov 9, Our weather is dreary. I can't lie when I say that our weather this weekend has me in the holiday spirit and I would love to wrap some gifts. If Brandon weren't working tonight, maybe we would, but I will wait for him as we enjoy wrapping together.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DANIELLE & MATT WHO WERE MARRIED THIS WEEKEND!!

(Whew! Guess I shouldn't wait so long to post next time...)
