I’m all for living in the moment, and enjoying each day as I’m given! The day to day is pretty mundane sometime, but I really love my life! However, I like having fun things to anticipate, too! Don’t we all?
October is coming! Brady’s schedule is pretty full with work, but we’ve taken some great steps in our basement project, so I’m hoping we get a lot more done there soon! I haven’t spoken to Brady in detail yet, so I won’t say anything ballsy yet, but I’m excited to set a goal of how much we can aim to complete by the end of October! (I should post pictures soon and show you guys around the basement at this point…) Brady is working through Thanksgiving this year, which is sad, so no big plans for that weekend. Also in October is Bradys birthday! Woot! Birthdays are always fun, right? (Wrong. They are not. Not always.) And then October closes off with Halloween, obviously. We SO enjoy that day, dressing the kids up and going to our friends houses! We’ll have FIVE to dress this year!! I kind of want to put Wavy in some sort of 80s workout gear, with the little sweatbands and leotard, haha! Somehow I just picture her fro making that look SO funny! But we’ll see 🙂 Its a fun day to dress up and laugh at each other.
November holds hopefully a retreat for me!! A friend brought it to my attention today that the annual ladies craft retreat is coming up soon! I went once when I won free admission and, my goodness, it was SO FUN! I knew all of ONE person there, and was kind of nervous about being on my own, but it was such a fun group of women, with such a relaxed vibe, and SUCH good food. I loved it! I wanted to go last year, but we were in the midst of our “hiatus from income” and we couldn’t swing it. This year we’re going to make it happen, and I’m SO stoked! I can’t wait to get a bunch of crocheting for Christmas done!
To branch off of that, Christmas closes out the year in December, and I’m just so stoked. I’ve begun my shopping, and am literally waiting for six packages to come in the mail! I have my list of people written down, with ideas beside almost all of the names. I’m still stumped for a couple, so if anyone cares to brainstorm with me this early, I’d jump at having someone to bounce ideas off of! I’m so looking forward to being set for gifts early in the game so I can just soak up the Christmas vibes, stress free, in December!
What are you guys looking forward to in the coming months? Any fun trips planned? Any occasions beyond Christmas that you’re excited about? Waiting for any new products or music to come out? I’m so ready for Hickory Farms to be back in the malls! Last year I waited too long and missed out on my pineapple honey mustard completely!!! I’m in withdrawal, guys. Mustard withdrawal. Its a real problem…
