weekend recap

Hey y'all! 

This past weekend was jam packed with stuff 

and it would be a shame not to share. 

Fall really is my favorite time of the year. 

Even if it is supposed to be 90 here today. 

A friend posted this on FB yesterday. 

C'mon Georgia get with the program. 

However, last weekend's weather was gorgeous and very fall-like ... 

cool temps, breezy, and beautiful. 

Thursday: 

My weekend started on Thursday last week because it was FAIR time. 

As all of my long-time readers know the fair is when fall officially begins for me. 

My previous fair posts are here and here. 

D and I were joined by his family (mom, dad, brother, & sister). 

We rode the ferris wheel, ate funnel cakes (among other things), and people watched. 

We had so much fun! 

Friday: 

D's brother's birthday was Friday and he wanted to go to Haunted Montrose to celebrate. 

This was my 2nd year going to Montrose with D's family. 

I loved it just as much this year. 

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. 

I love all things spooky and haunted and CANDY! 

Saturday: 

D and I went to a Halloween party Saturday night. 

D's cousin and her husband throw an annual Halloween Bash. 

Everyone dresses up and has a lot of fun! 

This was my first year going and I really enjoyed it. 

It's great that I enjoy D's family (and that they like me!) 

because we basically spent all weekend together. 

I was the Tardis and D was Captain Jack Sparrow. 

Only one person knew who I was at the party and she only knew because a friend of hers watches Doctor Who. 

Talk about disappointing. 

People need to up their geek game. ;)

Sunday: 

I needed a lazy day after the excitement of the previous days. 

I had fun but my introvert brain was lagging. 

So, D and I did a bunch of nothing Sunday morning ... 

drank coffee, cooked french toast, and lounged on the couch. 

Sunday afternoon, we went shooting. 

I got a new Smith & Wesson 9mm last week and needed some target practice with it. 

Overall, it was a really great weekend! 

I love making new memories with D and his family. 

It is weird that we are now doing things for a second time around ... 

like Montrose and the fair. 

Saturday, D and I had been dating for 18 months. 

A year and a half has just flown by! 

I hope y'all had a great weekend as well!

decisions, decisions

I am super excited about Halloween this year. Growing up we did not celebrate Halloween, so I have never dressed up before. I know! Hard to believe, right? My college group at church is having their 2nd Annual Fall Fest this year and we get to dress up. YAY! I was in Chicago last year so I did not get the chance to participate and I would look at everyone's pics and be super jealous. I have been thinking about my costume for 3 months. I had narrowed the choices down to Princess Leia or Queen Amidala. I do not know what was with the Star Wars theme. But I think I have finally decided to be Princess Leia. I have long brown hair, so it seemed like a perfect fit. I cannot wait!

Are you doing anything fun for Halloween? Any fun costume ideas?
