Happy October! *throws confetti*
Of course, fall isn't really here, at least not in central IL. We're still setting record highs and the legislature is STILL in session. This is truly the summer that will not end.
Just to bring you all up to speed, Carl and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. Mostly it consisted of us saying "where do you want to go?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?". In other words, it sounded just like the first 7 years. :) We seem to have started this tradition, where, for certain holidays one of us will wake the other one up with some kind of weird breakfast in bed thing. For his birthday I brought him a cupcake. For mine, he brought chocolate pudding. For our anniversary, I took him a burrito! (don't laugh too hard, he ate it, it was his favorite kind)
Anyway, we're still muddling through foster care classes. They're going fine, a little touchy-feely, but we'll survive. My mom is coming in this weekend to sew with the church ladies tomorrow since we have our 3rd all day session. And tomorrow night we're headed up to Petersburg (well, New Salem park, anyway) for the candlelight in the park tour. We've been doing this for 9 years, I guess. We missed it the year we got married, but I think that's the only time. This year I'm getting a lantern!
Christmas prep is moving along smoothly. I've updated my notebook and knocked out a couple of projects (and finished Alice's crate cover, which she is turning out to not mind so much), and I'll start taking inventory of decorations next week. I really want to order some more outdoor decorations, but am having some trouble finding what I want, exactly.
Anyway, I think that's about it, Carl's in Bloomington today, I miss him and his 50 emails a day. :(
