Recap

Well, it's been a few weeks now and I realized I haven't made time for my blog world.

Honestly, it's been a pretty hectic few weeks.  So, let's recap, shall we? 

I will squeeze everything into one post to keep you all as updated as I can.

So, I left off with my birthday being only a few days away.

What did I do to celebrate?
Matthew and I went to see The Wizard of Oz 3D in IMAX.  I didn't wear my ruby slippers, like I intended to, but I still showed my support:

Sweater: Croft and Barrow (Kohls), Necklace: Goodwill, Shirt: Out of Print, Jeans: Levis (Kohls),
Dorothy Flower: LLT, 3D Glasses: AMC Theaters
 
Of course it was a fantastic time!!  I was like a kid on Christmas morning!  I danced, lite up, acted surprised... If people didn't know me, they may have thought it was my first time! ;)

Fast Forward to the first weekend of October:
Matt and I ran away to an enchanted forest filled with s'mores, loved ones, fall colors, beer, dancing, game of pool, potato guns, wildlife, and more!  Exciting, right?  It was!  Every time we get a chance to escape, we always enjoy ourselves to the fullest.


Matt finally got to use his Christmas present!

 
In between it all, we engaged in fall festivities:
Apple Picking & Pumpkin Farm

More to come later this week!  Hopefully this held some of you over for the time being.
 
One last note:
 
Many times this past weekend, I couldn't help but take a moment and reflect on what an amazing family I have and the family I married into. 
I am forever grateful for all the love and support I have from them. 
 
They are my whole life!

Creepin'

 
September is already half way through... And by that I mean that Halloween is right around the corner...  And what I really mean is that my birthday is in two days...
 
Seriously, though, where has the time gone?
 
My weeks are flying, and my weekends are flying even faster.
 
With this fantastic weather we've been having, I just want it to slow down. 
 
We still have a few summer days coming but I'm soaking up the fall-like weather.
 
I've been slowly putting up Halloween decorations.
 
Yes.
 
I admit it.
 
And, I don't care.
 
I love to enjoy the holidays to the fullest...  I start early, and continue the decorating throughout the weeks and once October is here, I'm nesting on the couch, enjoying the creep factor that took over my house.
 
And, yes, I've been grabbing new finds at Goodwill in the meantime.
I found a broom, pumpkin, skull, normal Halloweeny  finds.
 
However, I was tickled pink when I stumbled across a 1950's medical dictionary.  Right now it's chilling on my coffee table.  I thought of doing some creep projects with it but it's kind of creepy just how it is.
 
 
I love it!
 
I'm getting so excited for the finale of Dexter, the start of The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and all the scary movies that will fill up my nights and weekends...
as long as my husband is beside me.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves! 
 
I'm a scardey cat... :)
 
I've chowed down on a taffy apple and candy corn...
And already had my fair share of Pumpkin Spice Fraps...
 
 'Tis the Season!
 

Along with that, I have Pumpkin Spice Creamer chilling in my fridge.  (It's good but not a favorite) And my husband and I snatched Pumpkin Spice M&M's, along with S'mores Candy Corn.  Yup.  My house is coming infested with pumpkins and candy corn and everything that screams fall.
 
 
(Remember the rust pumpkin I mentioned?  Yup, here he is!)
 
Speaking of pumpkins, I found a Banana Republic fall coat at Goodwill this past weekend.  It's bright orange like a pumpkin!  The price was even better.. $6.99!
I wish I snatched a photo before taking it to the drycleaners, but I'm getting ready for
my husband's and my weekend getaway! 
 
We are way overdue on a vacation.
 
Let the countdown begin!
