Fall Fun

This weekend has been low key for us. After a crazy busy month it was what we needed. The only thing missing was Josh. You know, it's that time again where men venture into the woods, sit in trees, and stare off into the wilderness for hours on end. Not only does it make me jealous that they have an acceptable way to completely escape reality, we really miss him when he is gone. Shaw and I went and ate with my parents last night and went over to my grandparents house to visit. This morning we had a bridal shower to go to for my sister (forgot my camera!) and then we went to our town's Halloween/fall festival which is always entertaining.

Back tracking to last weekend. I was in my friend Natalie's wedding. It was such a beautiful ceremony and probably the sweetest one I have ever been a part of or seen. The preacher's way of doing things was really neat and the message he sent along about marriage really pulled at my heart strings and was something I needed to hear. The weather was perfect and I got to spend time with some of my best friends. Natalie, Natalie, Joanna, and I all bonded in OT school and have kept up with each other since. Even though we only get to see each other a few times a year now, I can truly say they are some of my closest and best friends. After the wedding festivities Friday and Saturday, we still had Sunday to celebrate my birthday! The only thing I requested was to eat good food and take Shaw to the pumpkin patch. That is exactly what we did!

Joanna, Natalie, Me, and Natalie (by the way Natalie is having her baby as I type this. She has been a trooper and I can't wait to meet Miss Ruby tomorrow!)

 

Drew's cake was a big S'more and looked so real!

I love this time of year and all the fun festivities. Shaw is at such a fun stage where he loves to go and do, play with other kids, people watch, or just soak in everything around him. He is my kind of boy :)
