Well we are half way through November...how did that happen? I swear I start every one of these posts with some version of "where has the time gone." I'm beginning to learn that that particular feeling won't ever really go away. It's funny as a kid all you want is time to go faster-you want school to be over with, you can't wait to get your driver's license, and then you can't wait to go to college. At some point (apparently for me its 25-26) you start to realize the value in just being happy with now and wanting things to slow down. I can only imagine this feeling is amplified once you have kids of your own.
So what have I been up to? Well I got to see my lovely cousin get married in September in St. Louis and some dear friends of mine tie the knot earlier this month in Madison. Those are the big highlights of the past couple months for me. It was great to see some family in St. Louis and, as always, it was lovely to be back in Madison a few weeks ago. I'm actually pretty happy that we haven't been doing as much traveling lately. Plus it's nice to have some time at home.
Even without the traveling we've managed to keep pretty busy. Matt is staying busy with school and work. He ended up having to travel all of last week. We only had a couple of days notice but I managed to not get too lonely or bored while he was gone this time. It's baby steps for me on some things! I've been keeping busy with work and my involvement in AFP. My department just launched a huge three year campaign that we are teaming up with the Detroit Lions for. So that is keeping me pretty busy. I'm also taking over a committee for AFP starting in January so I've been working on transition stuff and coming up with my "vision" for 2014. So no lack of things to do in our house!
We're both starting to get pretty excited for Christmas and we might just have started eyeing up new Christmas decorations...maybe :) Although I'm working on holding Matt off from putting up the Christmas tree until the Friday after Thanksgiving. I love all of the colors associated with fall and Thanksgiving. Plus-I just can't be that family that puts up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving :)
Well that's about it for me at the moment. Matt just got home from class and we have an episode of "Bones" to watch. Have a good week!
