The Fall in Review


Okay! I have time to breathe (for a moment!) So I thought I would catch up my blog with all the happenings from fall.


To start October off, we bought our house! That was such an exciting and stressful experience for us but well worth it. I blogged a little on it below but I don't have any updated pictures to post yet. We're still working on it though.


On Dwayne's actual birthday day, we went to dinner at Stockmans and took fun pictures outside the coffee shop with Captain Morgan!

Dwayne with Captain Morgan!

Dwayne's birthday is in the beginning of October as well and to celebrate we went to Reno to see a comedian he likes, Jeff Dunham.


The first picture is the opening screen of the show, the second picture is him in action and the third is us sitting in our seats at Reno Events Center.


The beginning of October is also our wedding anniversary. We've been married for three years now. Time flies! We met in 2001, when I was just 16 and D was just 19. We've been together ever since! To celebrate we spent the weekend in Tahoe. Dwayne had planned the whole weekend as a surprise for me. We were supposed to take a hot air balloon ride, something I've wanted to do for a very long time, but, we can't control the weather and it was cancelled. Bummer but it was such a nice weekend anyway because we were able to spend it together, time together is something we run short on these days.




The end of October was no different than the beginning. It proved to be just as busy. With all the changes in our lives and with school still in full swing we forced ourselves to make time for some holiday festivities. For our monthly date Dwayne and I went to Lattin Farms and went through the corn maze and then to dinner.







Having visited the corn maze, it was offically time for Halloween!






We had a good time at our first Halloween party in our new house! My sister was Willy Wonka, Dwayne was a headless man and I was a corrections officer.



You've gotta' have friends and mine were Paris Hilton (AKA my bestie Erin) and the chick off My name is Erl (AKA Allison)....needless to say this pic was taken a little later in the night....

Thanksgiving came and went in blur but I was able to spend it with my family. I had so much to be thankful for I can't even begin to list everything. I find myself reflecting on everything again as I get ready for Christmas. I hope you all are taking time to slow down this holiday season and spending time with those who matter to you. I will leave you with this years Christmas card pictures:

I'm almost speechless (and thats saying alot) hehe! You did such a good job with your update. My fav is the pics with Captain Morgan.
I'm ok if you only have time to do quarterly updates on you blog, but only because you're in school. No more excuses after that. J/K
Thanks for posting. I love hearing about your happy marriage (it gives me hope) ahaha!
