Wow, I can't believe how time is flying by! It's already November and before we know it Christmas will be here. It flew by so fast, it's already been a month since I posted last! There really isn't much to tell about October, it was really a month full of getting back into routine. I started my normal routine at work and I am loving the hours and the location, 15 minutes from our house. The days are long, but it is a small price to pay for only working 4 days a week!
Our weeks fly by with both of us working all day and our weekends are usually full of football. We are very proud of our #23 Bearcats and our Bengals for great seasons so far! We have attended quite a few home Bearcats games, but not one Bengals game this year, maybe we are bad luck!
This month we finally got our wedding video, which was so awesome to watch. There was so much that I didn't get to see since I was last down the aisle and hidden for most of the day. Our videographer captured the entire day and also gave us a separate disc with raw footage of people dancing. The speeches were amazing to see again. We were able to finally here my maid of honors speech that was riddled with tears and hard to understand that night, but on the video we caught every word. It was also nice to hear our best man's speech again, it was funny and heartfelt and I know it meant a lot to Chad.
As for the house, we haven't done much updating. Mostly, replenishing our funds from the last update. We did do some minor work: updated the front door handle/lock and the screen door handle. They used to be an awful shade of bright gold, now they are a much more modern brushed nickle. We also bought an ottoman for our living room, which has proved the come in handy a lot!
With October over, we have a fun-filled November in store. Chad had his first practice has a middle-school basketball coach. I am really hoping his season goes well and the kids win a lot of games. Chad has always wanted to be a head basketball coach and I want him to do well at it. I'm sad I will only get to attend a couple of his games because they are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:30, and I won't be off work in time. I think this is silly, they should have the games later, what parent or fan can attend at 4:30?
In a week and a half we are going to CHICAGO with our best couple friends Lauren and Blake. This will be the second time I have been there, but the first time I was 11 and I don't remember much. We are only going for a weekend but we have 3 days packed full of fun things to do! I can't wait to go shopping at all the amazing store they have there and see the Navy Pier again. This was the only thing I can really remember about Chicago and I loved it. We are going to eat some amazing Chicago style food and go ice skating! We also have planned to see a parade and lighting of Michigan Avenue which should be fun! I can't wait.
After we get home from Chicago, Thanksgiving will be knocking at our door. Now that Chad and I are married, we have to try to figure out how to split holidays. Neither of us wants to spend a holiday away from our families and we can't do both in one day because Chad's family lives 2 hours away from us. So this year we think we have it worked out to where we can see both families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Who knows what we will do in years to come. Especially once we have kids to tote around as well.
Like I said, Christmas will be here before we know it. With such a jam packed November, I just know it is going to fly by! Chad and I love the holiday season and all that it brings (except the snow). I have already started to prepare, I ordered our Christmas cards off SnapFish, once again utilizing our wedding photos. Chad tells me people are going to be getting sick of seeing our wedding pictures on everything we send them, but I promised him this would be the last time. I want to be able to enjoy the holidays and not be running around so crazy that it passes me by. I hope that we are able to enjoy our first holiday season as a married couple with few bumps in the road. We will see!
With so much happening in November I should have a lot to post about. Hopefully I will have the time!
