two things

Whoa - I am uncharacteristically prolific with the blog posts today! Just wanted to mention two things:

1). I woke up to this today:






Snow in October! Early October at that. Holy cow, we had a whopping two weeks of fall and now this. My autumn wreath looks ridiculous out there (as do my snow-covered potted mums). It is beautiful (the first snow always is), but it's just so early. Not sure what to do - hunker down inside and brood about the early loss of my favorite season, or, put on some toasty clothes (good thing I just checked "wash all mittens and scarves" off my fall to-do list), slip on some bright red boots, and head out the door for a walk in the snow. 

2). We leave for Austin, TX tomorrow for my sister's wedding. I am excited! We've all been busy planning, crafting, and getting very excited about being together for 6 days. And, Kevin has even become an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church (seriously) so that he can officiate the wedding this weekend. He's making us all call him the Rev Kev. Hilarity! I can't wait for tomorrow.

If you live in the Midwest - enjoy the snow. If not, enjoy the fall for the rest of us!

  1. SNOW??? Thankfully we didn't get any. I seriously think I would have cried (despite the beauty of the first snow) had I woken up to that scene this morning. I'm SO not ready for winter. . . I need a few more weeks of fall for sure!

    p.s. the house looks AWESOME!

  3. Hey Wisconsin ladies! Yep, snow at the beginning of October --- cruel joke! We also got a bunch this morning, which I suppose makes more sense since it's almost November, but I'm still not ready! We miss you guys! We want to come visit you guys before it gets too cold --- I know I've been terrible about getting in touch to make this happen. Let's chat this weekend!
