Holy Smokes

Where has the time gone?  How in the world is October already over???  How are there only 10 days until Thanksgiving??

So I know I have been MIA for the past month, but sometimes I'm too busy living life to sit down and write about it.  Not a bad thing, I'd say!  What have I been up to?  Here are all the random, amazing, wonderful things I've been doing this past month:

<<  Pulled up carpet & tile in the house and painted cement  >>

<<  Finished painting the front of our house, minus the garage & front door  >>

<< Flew out to San Francisco to visit our besties >>

<<  Ran a half marathon up those ridiculous hills (they should be called mountains) and beat my previous time >>

<< Got a Tiffany's necklace from a local fireman in a tux for completing the race  >>

<<  Shopped and walked around the city about a dozen times with the hubby  >>

<< Spent one afternoon just sitting on a bench, enjoying the day and make up stories about those around us  >>

<< Flew back to Austin, cleaned up the house for those same besties to visit us in Austin >>

<< Drove out to the hill country to visit some local wineries >>

<<  Celebrated all things birthday, friends, and played some great card games while they were here  >>

<<  Experiences the City Wide garage sale  >>

<<  Took a huge relaxing breath on our birthdays and celebrated with dinner & drinks  >>

<<  Drove out to Hunt, Texas and celebrated a friends wedding by the Guadalupe River  >>

<<  Bought some pretty new rugs to help with the new floors  >>

<< Found out or stove top was shocking you if you touched the metal knob, so we bought a full new gas range and installed it ourselves  >>

<<  Hosted my friend's baby shower for her new baby girl due in January  >>
