All The Leaves Are Brown.....

...and the sky is grey....

It's fall. It's rainy. I'm on the Hawaii countdown. 163 days.

Things I'm looking forward this fall (besides getting closer to the Hawaii trip)

• Jesse and Desi's wedding.....it's so exciting when you see a friend who you've been rooting for have a good thing happen you know?
• Halloween. Not for cool memories or anything, I just love small chocolate bars.
• Calvin's birthday...November 24th....then he will officiallybe in his 'mid' 30's. HA!
• My strict 1 hour a day workout policy. Yay for sweating and swearing while jogging!
• Ave's birthday (December 11th)...she'll be 8 but the birthing story never gets old and when it's her birthday, I like to tell it...just for fun. 88 minutes of labour and no drugs. I AM WOMAN!
• The Community Christmas Cantata (December 12th, 13th and 14th). It's going to be crazy this year. Think Christmas Choir meets Pink Floyd.
• Our ice rink. Yes, faithful readers, it's time again to think about the Elliott rink...this year it'll be bigger and better...and lighter....Calvin's putting up flood lights!
• My Dad's visit. My Dad (who wasn't expected to live past June) is flying up to spend 5 days with us. That's a miracle! I'm excited about him getting to play crib with Delaney....which is a game that he taught me (and we played ALOT) when I was 9.
• The time change. I love 'falling back'....an extra hour ROCKS!

What are you looking forward to this fall (or winter)??
