Happy Halloween!!!

Today is Halloween but it is 70 degrees out and sunny and humid so it does not feel like Halloween at all.

Last night we carved pumpkins at my friend Julie's apartment. It was so much fun! Jesica and I did a combined effort to make this guy:



Here are the group's pumpkins all lit up:

Besides carving pumpkins I'm not doing anything else Halloween related this year :( I had to work last weekend, and again this weekend, so I won't be attending any Halloween parties and didn't have a reason to dress up. Maybe next year I'll be more festive.

The boyfriend left me last week for Saudi Arabia so I've been flying solo all week, which hasn't been too bad since I've had to work so much. He gets back next week and I'm so excited to see him!

That's all I've got for now. More to come soon! Happy Halloween!!!

Lots of Tidbits

I haven't updated in quite a long time so I will try and recap as best I can:

- The other night I had to work late and then over to the boyfriends place. I told him I was starving and I came home to this delicious plate of food:

- Last weekend my sister invited us to an art festival but then couldn't end up going. The boyfriend and I still went and had a great time, and saw a pet pig on a leash there:
  He was a cutie but I don't think I could deal with the squealing. 

- As I've probably mentioned I've joined a women's soccer league that plays on Saturdays. Although our team hasn't won many games (so far we are 1-4) it's an awesome group of ladies and I have so much fun playing with them. 

- Two weekends ago the boyfriend and I went to visit Jenna in Columbus, Ohio for her birthday. It was such a fun time - the highlights included going apple picking, doing a corn maze, experiencing game day at OSU, and of course hanging out with Jenna!



- The last quarter of the year is the super busy time for my me at work. It's already started getting busy and will just keep ramping up from here. Let's hope I can survive until 2014. 

- Today at work we had a brown bag session with one of our founders.  Someone asked him what advice would you give to your 30 year old self and his answer was: be good to your kids and if you don't have kids, be good to your friends. I thought this was very good advice. 

- This weekend the boyfriend and I are
going to Roanoke. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing low-key weekend. 

- The weather has been crazy lately. A few days ago it was 90 and sunny out. Today the high is 57 and it's windy and has been raining all day. I guess Fall is finally here. So far I just miss summer. 

- The boyfriend is leaving me again at the end of the month to go back to Saudi Arabia. I'm hoping that I'll be too busy with work to miss him too much but we'll have to wait and see. 

That's all I can think of for now!
