the latest

so much is going on, but at the same time i feel like we've just been doing the same old for forever.

we've been having party after party, and if you know me, i'm in heaven.
first, a shower for Alyssa...so excited for her and mike's baby girl to arrive. we wish them health and wellness for a long and happy time with this new baby.
second, a shower for Jade and we are equally anxious to meet their baby boy pretty soon after alyssa. it's an exciting time within our friend group!

next, a super fabulous halloween party because we are lucky to have great friends who come. i think i will say this over and over forever..but i believe we have been blessed with incredible friends. i am not certain why, sometimes i wonder if we will go through an extraordinary hardship and will need all these friends for support or something. but that's kind of a dark thought but i suppose i almost feel guilty to have so many special people in my life...not that other people don't have friends.
it's hard for me to articulate nearly every thought i have.

basically, i'm grateful very much for my friends.

oakley is still a good dog. we got a heating pad for his house but he didn't like it. so now we have a door on it which seems to keep him nice and warm at night. these nights are chilly.
we have to figure out what on earth to do with him during thanksgiving break.

missy's crispy's is now an LLC and business is going grand this halloween season. It's been an exciting one. We will see where it is in a year or so...probably the same place it is now. it's fun nonetheless.

we took some family photos which has never legitimately happened before. thanks to jessica johnson, our sister in law for doing them for us. i'm pleased with the outcome!

we are welcoming the winter except for the deep darkness of every morning. it's terribly difficult to wake up. but it's fun. the big snow storm the other day was fun!!!

happy halloween this wednesday...don't be too scary
