Terribly sorry I haven’t posted in a while.  These past few weeks have been busy, busy, busy and I haven’t been feeling very well so I have been spending my free time just relaxing and staying off of this evil device I call the computer.  In the past few weeks, we have celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary, gone to see Robert Randolf do his thing (check out this guy’s music…it’s amazing), and Halloween has come and gone.  We celebrated my mom’s birthday, and then two days later celebrated Derek’s mom’s birthday.

Derek is still in school with tons of homework, and we have been dealing with our heater that doesn’t want to work now that it’s getting cold.  So we called the repair man and it turns out that it needs a new motor-thingy.  That new part cost a pretty penny…try $400.00 pretty.  Oh yeah…we went to work too.

Derek and I did manage to have us a little excursion last Sunday.  We drove around the city and snapped shots of the beautiful leaves falling.  I absolutely adore the trees that turn a bright yellow just before they drop their leaves.  LOVE IT!

While we were out we grabbed a little lunch and also went and played at Super Target.  SUPER DUPER!

Isn’t he just the cutest thing?

I picked up some cute gift bags and polka-dot tissue paper in preparation for the holiday gift wrapping season while we were at Target.   I love wrapping gifts.  You can be as creative and over the top as you want for just a few bucks.  This is what happens when Derek sends me off by myself, in Target, to get a shower curtain liner.

While we were out roaming the streets for some pretty foliage we found two homes with some awesome Halloween decorations.  Best idea ever…giant spiders climbing the exteriour of your house!!!!  Ahhhhhhhh!

These are some seriously creepy pirates.

Painting has ceased on the house, yet again.   After painting two windows yesterday we realized the color looked a bit yellow.  We brought a sample of the current house color to the store to make certain this didn’t happen!

It’s supposed to rain for the next 3-4 days here.  At this rate I’m thinking we will be finished painting this house in May 2010.  It’s like doing the bunny hop…take two hops forward, now take one giant leap back! I hate moving backwards! My hand can’t take much more of this cramping, and my skin can’t fit any more mosquito bites.  I’m gonna get West Nile before this thing is through.   SWAT….just killed another one.
