October's almost over?? What??

Wow, I can hardly believe that October is almost gone and the Holidays are about to begin! This year has been entirely way too busy and it's not over yet! A look back at the past few months: We had my good friend Stephanie's wedding in mid-May and all the events that went along with that. That included a spectacular trip to Miami for the girls!!
June was not quite as busy but we still found ourselves barely able to hang on.

July was busy, although I can't remember with what besides the fact that I had my first 5k race at the end of that month. That was so much fun and I ended with a pretty good time as well (32 min). Better than I expected seeing that I had to run up and down 2 bridges. :)

August came around and Jesse was so excited because he had all of his fantasy football draft parties. Yay! He always does a big cookout and whole day event for the league that he is the "commissioner" of. Thankfully our friend, Brad, offered up his house this year instead of our house. Last year, he held the event at our new house and needless to say, I walked in mid-party and there were about 15 guys in my house all eating, talking, yelling, etc. The kitchen was a disaster! lol Jesse was great though and when I woke up the next morning, you would have never known he had people over. I ran a 5 mile beach run with my mom at the end of the month. I'm not sure if it was the beach or the 5 miles that really got me but by the end....I was DONE! I think I will stick to 5K's.... hahaha we made decent time though. (57 min) I completed it in under an hour. I feel good about that.

September was the month for Lia Sophia Jewelry parties!!! hahaha I had mine in August and some friends booked parties from my party and they all had their parties in September! Sooo....many days were spent looking at catalogs and deciding on Christmas presents for people. :) It was good though because I did get my shopping started early! Football also began this month which means a lot of sitting on the couch for Jesse or going to the Jags games on Sundays. This has worked out well for me because I get a day all to myself!

October has been fabulous so far!! Starting the month off right was my impromptu trip to New York with my friend Stephanie. We had been wanting to go on a much needed girls weekend and somehow our thoughts of a quiet beach getaway turned into a New York extravaganza! haha We had so much fun though and it was totally worth it. Thankfully, Jesse was a good sport about it even though he flat told me NO at first. He started looking up plane tickets etc and realized the prices weren't as bad as he thought. We did so much on our trip. My 2 favorites were Ground Zero and Wall Street on Monday morning. I know I am a total dork. We ate at all different kinds of places and just did what we wanted to do. Great trip! Along with that, we had a lot of birthdays this month. My dads, brothers, and my friend Amanda's were all celebrated. I had a week of vacation which I am just coming off of and was not totally excited to go back to work today. Mostly we have had such a busy year its hard to remember exactly what happened. :) As always...I will try to post more but if history tells us anything...it probably won't happen. lol
