it's fall!

 Last time I wrote it was mid August - now it is almost October!

I love the month of October. It is definitely one of my favorites.

Cool weather. Boots, scarves, and sweaters. Pumpkin spice lattes. Fires (in our new fire pit!) and s'mores. Football. Pumpkin patches. and Halloween!! 

Things have been pretty crazy lately. Laura has moved in officially and we have 4 pups in the house now (she brought Mork from my parents). School has been insane, as it always is at the beginning of the year. Josh went to Florida and came back with a truck load of stuff from his parents who sold their house. We are in the process of setting up another guest room. Things in the house are coming along!

Here are the major events that have been going on in the past month and a half.

We ran a race called the Ridiculous Obstacle Course.

Josh took this to mean dress as ridiculous as possible.

We saw a ton of people fall on the obstacle on the right, but Laura and I made it through without getting knocked off!

     

Team Freedom Flags and Eagles!

So much fun! Can't wait to do it again next year.

We (mostly Laura) re-did the guest bathroom:

I went to the beach for my friend's bachelorette party:

The next weekend, she got married!

    

      

     

     

Josh went to Chapel Hill for the first time ever!

We had lunch at one of my favorite places on Franklin Street, walked around the whole campus, went to the basketball museum, and visited the kissing bench :)

This weekend we have made a fire pit and run a 5k (Joshua ran a 15k)

I made my fastest time for a 5k in forever and got 3rd in my age group!

    

This is what I plan on doing the rest of the night. Plus making s'mores.

Life has been so busy! I am hoping I can start prioritizing, making time for school work, running/working out, cooking, housework, and blogging. I guess one of my most favorite months is a good time to start! Happy Fall!
