Happy November!

Well friends, it has been almost a month since I wrote last....it seems to sound like a broken record, but SERIOUSLY....where is time going??!?

It has definitely been a fun, busy month since I wrote last.

The weekend of Halloween, Chris' parents came over to Columbus, which was fun. We just had a relaxing, fun weekend visiting. Saturday, we explored the market downtown and went to Target, and that night, we went to the Movie Tavern, where we saw "Couples Retreat" (which was really funny!). That night, we played euchre, drank, and then played Clue (fun!). They also got me a $25 gift card to Starbucks and a $25 gift card to Victoria's Secret, which was really nice!

Then, last weekend, Chris and I went to TH on Friday night so that we could see his grandpa Saturday. Fortunately, he was having a good day and seemed to be fairly aware of what was going on. He's at home, but is in constant pain and Chris' grandma has to be there every second. It really bothers Chris that we don't live closer, so he could help out, but hopefully he will be okay for awhile.

Saturday night, we went to Indy to watch my cousin Christopher get married. It was a really fun night with my family, and we all danced the night away. Sunday, we got up and went to Johnny Carino's for lunch (just Chris & I with my family) before heading back to Columbus to watch the Cowboys get a big win at Philadelphia!

Wednesday was the big 2-6, and even though I had to work (landscapers don't get bank holidays :)), my work "made" me a card and took me out to lunch, so it was fun. Chris surprised me that morning with a bouquet of flowers, 2 cards and a "scavenger hunt" around the apartment that led me to my sleeping husband, who was holding my brand new pink iPod, which I have been wanting ever since I washed my old one. Thanks, hubby!

Friday, we both took the day off, and we both slept in (much needed after a crazy week last week!). We then drove down to IKEA in Cincinnati and stopped at the outlets on the way back to Columbus. I found some great deals at Old Navy, and got a $120 pair of running shoes for $55. Yay for birthday money!

Yesterday was a lazy day besides getting errands done around town, which led to today's sorry loss at Green Bay. Whatever. Dallas has the most talent on paper, but if they have no heart, they'll never go anywhere. I'm anxious to see if Wade Phillips lasts through next season.

Well, tomorrow starts my last fiscal week of November, which means a short end of month week next week (2 days off for Turkey Day). I'm ready for Thanksgiving for sure....I've been good so far, not a single Christmas song played at work yet!!
