On The Up Swing and Plans

it doesn't quite feel like it yet, but we are on the up swing, I think. I am now working full time + and Daniel is also working full time. I am still homesick and I still friggin' love Portland. We went to a pumpkin patch on Sauvie Island this weekend (about 15 min. out of Portland) and it was AWESOME! I might of had more fun than all the kids there put together. Okay, maybe not that much. I took a hay ride and wait til we carve our 13 pumpkins. I will take pictures and post em'. Okay, we wont be carving all of them, but it'll be cool anyway.

I am still not used to working from home, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. You'd think it was a cool, awesome thing that everyone should be envious of, but I'll tell you what... it's not. You know how hard it is to focus for 8 or more hours when there are so many wonderful things to distract you? I mean, I could read, knit, watch a movie, sit on the back porch, go for a walk, etc. Yeah, its really hard. Speaking of knitting, I am actually a crochet-er, but I taught myself some basics and knit myself a pair of hideous slippers. I signed up today for a knitting class at a place 2 blocks away called the Yarn Garden, which is the best yarn shop in all of Portland (yeah, and its down the street from my house-Portland rocks). I am very excited about the class. Before that though, I am going to knit Savannah a hat and scarf. Enough of this talk.

We are having Thanksgiving at our house and I am so excited. I know you know how much I love to cook. Yeah, we'll I can't wait. I am going to try out some of the food I want to have at our wedding on our Thanksgiving guests. Yeah, I said wedding. We're thinking late June. We're thinking out-of-town guests can stay here slumber party style if they want. It's going to be at my mom's house a couple hours away. I get to have a backyard wedding like I've always wanted. It would be awesome beyond compare if our friends could be there. But, I know that its not possible for everyone. Anyway, big plans in the works y'all.

K, I gotta go cause the Matzo Ball soup is done and my babe-eh needs to have some to get better. He's gotta poop-y cold and I'ma chase it out!

And Ne'er The 'Tween Shall Meet

I am so ultimately homesick. I truly love Portland. And I really miss my friends.
