Afterwards, I was really tired so I relaxed at the house. Mitch and I have recently started getting netflixs and it is sooo nice!! I was never really that into it and now I can tell I am getting hooked. The only season of One Tree Hill I don't have is season 7 and now I can get it on netflixs! So I spent the majority of the afternoon on Saturday watching One Tree Hill. That evening, we just watched the Razorback game. On Sunday, Mitch had to work again, so I went shopping at target in the morning and found this really cute door mat for only $4!
After that I went to our financial peace class and then went up to the church to help out with the Fall Fest. It was a lot of fun and I saw so many cute little kids and some in very unique costume. Ha!
After the Fall Fest, Mitch's parents and I went to Gusano's Pizza and Mitch met us there after he got off work. I am not the biggest pizza fan and I love this place. It is delicious!
When we got home, we passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters! We didn't have a ton because it was later when we got back from dinner. But it was a lot fun to pass out candy!
Well most of you know I start celebrating Christmas early, but now that Halloween is over, I feel like I can officially start getting ready for it!! So yesterday afternoon, Mitch and I spend the day shopping for Christmas lights for our house! It feels so weird to be putting Christmas lights up on OUR house! I am going to miss helping my family decorate our house, but it is going to be a lot of fun decorating our house for our first Christmas married. So first, we had to measure the house to see how many lights we needed.
After we figured out what all we needed we headed out to Home Depot, Lowes, and Wal-Mart to see who had the best prices. We literally went to each of them twice to see what was going to be the best for us. One of our problems was that we wanted LED lights and they are a little more expensive, and also I have always wanted lights that alternate red and white bulbs and you can't buy those, so you have to buy stands of red and strands of white and change out the light bulb. Ha! So we figured out how to do that and lets just say I have a pretty big project in store for me! We ended up having to buy 16 boxes of lights, 8 red and 8 white, and now I get to interchange the bulbs. But I love anything Christmas so this will actually be fun for me!
We also bought a smaller white tree for our office. I love the traditional red/green/silver for our big tree, but we bought a 4ft white tree and we are doing pink/blue...lots of brighter colors. So yes we have two trees, but most of you know that I love Christmas!
This week we it is actually suppose to be getting colder. The highs are in the 50's and so we are making a big pot of stew! It is my dad's recipe and it is so good. We always make a bunch so we can eat on it for about a week!
Today we had a pretty eventful day! We went to Springfield, MO with Mitch's parents. They were going to look at buying a car, and their plan was to buy it today, but it didn't go as planned and we came home with no car. But we did get a trip to Lambert's out if it!! You just can't pass up Lambert's when you are in the area!! So even though our trip was pretty unsuccessful, I can't complain.
Next week we are going to Tulsa to visit my parents and I can't wait! My dad had surgery on his vocal cords last week and he is recovering well and doing good, and my mom is getting over bronchitis, but my brother has been really sick for about a week and a half now. He has missed so much school and has a ton of homework to make up and I know that's no fun when your sick. He went to the doctor last week and they thought it was just a virus, gave him some antibiotics and that never helped. He has just got worse, so they went back yesterday and ran more tests and found out today he tested positive for mono and they found some spots on his lungs that they are hoping is pneumonia. You know its bad when they are wanting it to be pneumonia. Today he went back in for a cat-scan and they still can't find out what the spots are. So they are having to bring in an infectious disease doctor tomorrow and run more tests. So please keep him and my family in your prayers. He is really sick and we are just praying the spots aren't anything serious.
I hope everyone is having a lovely week and a great start to November!
