Since the last post, Chris and I have gone on a few adventures! We visited the Fritzler farm in La Salle Colorado to pick out a pumpkin! It was a lot of fun-we had never been to a farm together! This farm is one of the famous ones in Colorado. Their corn field is a different design each year; this year it is a tribute to our troops! We may go back with Chris' parents when they come up next weekend and do the corn maze and the other attractions! This pumpkin farm was really cool though, there were acres of pumpkins. Big, small, red, striped, orange, white pumpkins! We even got to cut ours off the vine!!
The week after we got to go to Denver to celebrate Bethany's birthday! It was the four of us: Alex, Bethany, Chris and I. We went to Northfield which is a really nice outdoor shopping mall in northern Denver! We had Cold Stone first (dessert before dinner is allowed on birthdays! ;) ) then we visited some of the shops and ended our day with dinner at Jim N Nicks BBQ! It was sooo delicious, I highly recommend it! You get unlimited rolls, yum!! It was so good to see them, it had been over a month! Hopefully we'll be able to get together soon, especially with the holidays coming up! Yay! Next weekend we get to see Chris' parents and then in early November my parents and sister are coming up to visit, as well. I am definitely looking forward to the last weeks of 2010: visiting with family, the holidays, classes are ending, seeing Apryl and MY 21st BIRTHDAY!!!
Jobs are going well. My ears were burning one night I guess and I decided to look around for jobs again; I applied to Starbucks in Target but haven't heard back about that yet. I hope something will come up soon because the next day at my Nanny job she said the last day they would need me would be October 20th! Thankfully, she passed my information along to one of her friends/coworkers and I'll be watching a 3-year old boy 3 days a week. I am glad I still have something but unfortunately it's less hours and about $300 less a month. I am stressing out but trusting God that He will provide for Chris and I. He has so far so that is comforting! Chris is in the process of moving up to a full-time position at Office Depot, hopefully it happens soon! (Please pray that I can find an additional part-time job!)
Chris and I have been doing some decorating around the apartment to make it a little more "home-y." We bought curtains for the living room and bedroom. Our bedroom curtains are blackout curtains that block out all the light that was coming into our room and it keeps the heat in and the cold out! I pretty much love them, and the color too! They match the comforter! We've also been hanging some picture frames and other wall art. I went to Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart today to look for a shadow box for my wedding bouquet but NO LUCK! With all three stores there were no shadow boxes-can you think of another place they might be???
