pumpkins.

I said the other day that we carved pumpkins so I thought I would share a few pictures.

Hubby was working really hard on getting all the seeds out.

Lots and lots of pumpkin guts.

The finished products!!  Hubby and I made the Yoda one and our friends carved the Storm Trooper.  Such fun.

With Love.

pillow walls and crime shows.

So I survived my three days without the hubs last week (while he was on tour).  In the process I made two very important discoveries regarding my sleeping habits.  One, I am no longer used to sleeping in bed alone.  I finally had to create a pillow wall (to simulate my hubby taking over my side of the bed) in order to get any sleep at all.  Two, I love to watch crime shows, but should not watch them before I go to bed when I am home alone.  (Especially the episodes with the creepy home videos. You know the ones where it is dark and the video is all jumpy and people are screaming and you can't tell what is happening and then they all die? yeah, those ones.)

Hubby made it home safe and had a great tour.  He also had Monday and Tuesday off this week and I had Monday and Tuesday off this week which meant awesome together time!  Monday we drove out of the city and wandered around an outlet mall and did some grocery shopping.  Then we were able to have some great friends over on Tuesday for dinner, pumpkin carving and a creepy movie (don't worry, I didn't get too scared this time because Hubby was home).  It all made for a brilliant weekend!  :-)

So far this week has just been filled with work and rain.  We will wait and see how it finishes up.

With love.

catch-up.

So remember that time when we started a blog and then never actually blogged?  oops...  :-)

So here is a quick catch-up on our lives. Our summer has come to an end, although the weather around here lately doesn't seem to think so (80 degrees in October? really?).  Hubs started classes again and has survived through midterms.  He is working on finding student teaching placements for next semester, hopefully he will have them finalized soon.  He passed his Music Content test (Yay Hubby!) which puts him one step closer to certification!  He leaves this week for his fall tour, it should be a nice break from classes.

I was promoted.  Hooray for a regular full-time job with benefits!!  Unfortunately that also means my days off change, no more wonderful Friday and Saturday weekends for this girl.  My new weekends are Mondays and Tuesdays, which means lots of time alone while the hubs is at class.  In lieu of this, I am slowly becoming much more domesticated.  All kinds of cooking, cleaning and laundry getting done around here, not to mention craft and sewing projects.  Last weekend I made my first ever batch of chili (which turned out quite delicious) and I taught myself to crochet.  I even got up early one morning last week and made bacon and hashbrowns before Hubby had to go to class! (I even cleaned up after myself before heading to work).  We will see how long this lasts. :-)

With love.
