I skipped the whole month of October. Time flies when your having fun or busy. So many things happened last month. One of my best friends got married the first weekend in October. That weekend was filled with fun wedding activities. I think Mandy and Brett's wedding was by far the most beautiful wedding I have ever had the privilege of attending. It was a picturesque autumn day on her family's property.
The next weekend I spent preparing for Aunt Lynn and Paul's visit for a few days. I was glad they got to come spend some time with me. We of course went shopping and out to eat. Oh and Aunt Lynn's favorite thing.....cleaned more. lol. I also realized that my cousin Paul, I know he loves me and I will always be the cool cousin, has gotten older and didn't want to stay until the weekend after Aunt Lynn went home. When he was younger he always wanted to stay with me but now since he is a junior in high school I guess that is not the case anymore. I'm proud of him. He has turned into an awesome young man and is very talented musically.
I'm not sure that I did anything the next weekend. I did go to Bree's soccer game but that was about it. I used my new vacuum cleaner that I was so excited about. lol. That Monday I went to the YO-YO Bible Study. I enjoy getting to spend time with this group of ladies. They have meant alot to my family. They were my mom's friends and were there every step of the way when she was sick. New faces have joined the group and I love them dearly as well. I look up to this group of ladies!
That next weekend was an emotional roller coaster. I attended my friend Jana's wedding in Franklin. It was at the Inn at Walking Horse Farm. It was a lovely fall day and she was a beautiful day. I left from there to come back home to Mrs. Linda King's Memorial Service. She was a Yo-Yo but before she was that to me she was my High School Pre-Cal and Calculus teacher. She was by far the teacher that had the most influence on me. She was so passionate about math! She was always there for us. We would have study sessions for the AP test at her house. Even in college I would email her problems that I was stuck on and she would help me. A couple of years ago she gave me a birthday card with a math teacher working a problem on the board. She worked the entire problem out in my card. It was so funny. I kept that card because of it. I take joy in knowing that I will see her again one day.
The next weekend I attended sweet Tiffany Gannon's baby shower and it was also Halloween!! I had some special trick or treaters come see me...A pig named Wilbur (ella), a skunk (my newphew Aiden), and a sweet cow girl (Bree). Aiden was more interested in chasing the cat up and down the sidewalk, Ella wanted to go straight to see Sadie, Bree was interested in her special treat bag. I got a text from Jen and he enjoyed his when he got in the car. I love those 3 little stinkers!
So that was my October. This weekend I have not felt good at all and have been resting. Hopefully this cold will be gone ASAP! I am so excited about the Holiday's this year and cannot wait to decorate for Christmas. I have not been excited since my mom's been gone but this year I am. I feel like I've got my spunk back!! Maybe it is working from home and not being on the road all the time. I finally feel like I have my life back!
Until next time....Love you all!
