October!!

October brings lots of exciting things this year!! (and most years!)
In honor of one of my favorite months I have Halloweened out my blog! What do you think??

Things I LOVE about this month:

• My Birthday (10/10 easy to remember so don't forget!)
• My mom and both of my sister-in-laws birthdays
• My baby boy will be 3 months old! -- thats 1/4 of a year!
• More Clemson and Giants football

Which brings me to something really exciting!! The day after tomorrow many of my favorite girls from Clemson will be in Maryland for the Clemson vs MD game and mucho tailgating and catching up and I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeekkkk!

back to my list..

• Cool fall air and the clothing it brings (sweaters and boots!)
• Ethan's first Halloween!!!!
  

Which brings me to something else! I cannot for the life of my decide what he should be.. his first Halloween is a big deal!! We were thinking maybe a dinosaur since we call him Stink-a-sorous. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

back to my list again..

• Candy Corn, Pumpkins, & Halloween decorations
• Heck, Halloween in general!

Ahhhhh, life is good. In other news..

A fab sorority sister of mine mentioned Thankful Thursdays in her blog.. and I love the idea especially in honor of fall.. so..

I am so THANKFUL that it looks like we will be in our brand new house that is OUR's by Christmas! Homeownership feels so good and we havent even finished signing on the dotted line yet!

What do you love about October/fall?

The wife of the year award goes to..

ME!

I skipped my 2nd child birth class yesterday evening in order to let my husband watch his Capitals win the their first series in the NHL playoffs. (and have friends over to enjoy some adult beverages while watching).

Childbirth class scared me enough the first time. and the topics for yesterday didn't look all that interesting. We will NOT be skipping anymore.. esp. since the next (and last) 2 classes include the hospital tour and pain management.

and i need my pain management starting now.. thanks.

Monday I did..

purchase a new rug and welcome mat and placemats for the kitchen table CHECK
write a paper for class tonight CHECK
do laundry.. lots of laundry CHECK
clean the bathrooms CHECK
dust the bedroom and family room CHECK
dishes/clean counters CHECK
shower CHECK
and go to class. (class canceled not my fault!)

I didn't go to the grocery store.. but thats okay because me and the mister will be in CLEMSON day after tomorrow! So we will just eat what we have til then. And I didn't tape the nursery cuz hubby said he would handle it. Our house in clean though and I love it.

Clemson anytime makes me happy.. but esp. in the spring with all my fab sorority sisters. and who doesn't love a good baby shower! So many little things for baby Ethan who is so excited to see all his aunts =)

so much to look forward to this weekend- I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

SIDE NOTE: April Fool's Day is stupid. Today on the way to work I got myself all riled up because I thought one of my favorite radio stations had screwed up royally and played an inappropriate and unacceptable april fools day joke. However the joke was on me because they were all really playing a joke on their boss by having callers call in and complain. I thought I was going to have to stop listening out of principal!

Today..

Today I will..

go to the grocery store
purchase new rugs and a tablecloth or placemats for the kitchen table
write a paper for class tonight
do laundry.. lots of laundry
tape the nursery for the last coat of paint
clean the bathrooms
dust the bedroom and family room
dishes/clean counters
shower
and go to class

not necessarily in that order.. but non the less a busy day

CLEMSON IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!
