Well, tonight was a GREAT night. Cold and wet, but otherwise great! The kids got a LOT of candy. Now, without further ado:
Well, since I seem to be lacking severely in blog posts lately, I found another 30 Day Challenge that peaked my interest. It's a complete photography challenge. I'll be listing the days and the topic for that day. I hope others want to join in, but if not, I hope people at least enjoy mine.( Btw, if you do decide to play along, all photos must be taken by you. ) So, starting November 1, I will have one post a day for you!

So, tonight we carved our pumpkins. Yes, we're always late in doing this. Anyway, we had a good time. Alvin actually got involved with cleaning this time. Yay!
Today Rich and Sammy had their 1st Annual Family Pumpkin Carve! They had TONS of homegrown pumpkins of all sizes. It was awesome. A few members of the family weren't present, but we sort of expected it. We were disappointed to not get to see our other nieces, but it is what it is. Regardless, we had a GREAT time with Matt, Ashley, Nicole, and the kids. Emali wasn't in attendance as she was at a Halloween party at a friend's.
Well, today was Emali's final game. They lost 1-5. Had they won today, they'd be playing in the championship game next week, but sadly, they didn't. Emali was the lone score. She scored in the first 2 mins of the game. After that, nada. She's sad that her soccer season has come to an end. Truthfully, so am I.
to me and Eric!
It's been 4 years since I married my best friend. 4 crazy, hectic, wonderful years. We've been through hell and back, but I wouldn't trade any of it. I love you Eric! Here's to 70 more years of adventure!
3 years ago today Charley was born. While I don't have pics of him as a newborn, I do have pics I'd like to share. Happy Birthday Charley!
So, not only was Saturday horridly cold, Em's team suffered a devastating loss. 0-8 The kids just didn't want to be there. They didn't want to play. "It's too cold!" That's what every single one of them complained about. Ya'll it -was- cold. It was 47 degrees, but with howling winds, the windchill was 33! 33! Way too cold! I'm glad I checked the temp before I had Em get ready though. Brr.
Woo hoo! The sun was shining. It was a gorgeous day. However it was marred by a presence, well two to be exact. We won't go into that on here though. My FB on the other hand... Anyway, Emali was in a pretty lousy mood because of the other events going on this weekend, but she still gave it her all in the game. She attempted at least 4 shots on the goal. She missed, but she's doing so much better on her attempts. But, her team still won! 5-1!!! She was sooo excited! What made it even better was her Grammy Sammy and Grandpa Rich were there to see her!
1.Taken a picture completely naked? No
2.Had a relationship with a friend on your MySpace/Facebook page? I'm in one currently. Actually, I'm with Eric because of MySpace. It was a message from him through MS that got us together. Life's interesting how it works.
3.Danced in front of your mirror naked? Can't say that I have. I try not to look at the mirror sans clothes.
4.Told a lie? Who hasn't? White lies are told for a reason. Bold faced lie though? Not in the recent past. I'm sure I did when I was younger.
5.Had feelings for someone who didn't have them back? Oh my, yes. The feeling sucks too.
6.Been arrested? No. We have enough of that with my brother. Don't need to add me to that list.
7.Stolen something from a store? When I was a kid, sure.
8.Seen someone/something die? I watched a kitten of mine die in my arms because we were too poor to afford the vet care.
9.Slept until after noon? I'm sure I have. Most recently, when I was in the hospital after surgery.

17.Smoked? Other than Cigarettes? Yes, I smoked cigarettes off and on from the time I was 18 until I was 27. And yes, I smoked the 'other' too when I was a teenager.
18.Been fired from a job? Only once. It was my first job when I was 16. I had just started working there when I had to take a week's vacation to go with the marching band to Florida. I was fired after returning.

25.Been given a nickname unrelated to your given name? Yep. Dink. It's my alter ego and was bestowed upon me many moons ago when I played softball. The girls all called me Dink which stood for "Doesn't Think". This was because I have a habit of saying things without thinking prior.
