Weekend Review

Friday I went to lunch with my older sister Chris. That was a lot of fun. We haven't done anything in awhile so it was great to get together with her. We ate at one of my favorites, Cafe Rio! The pork burrito is always good!

Then an exciting Friday evening complete with the rockets red glare. I live right by a high school. Homecoming game was Friday night and they started the game with fireworks, right over my house!!! Talk about a bang!!

The highlight of Friday night was Ugly Betty's premiere!! I am so glad that it started back up. It was a two hour show and I loved it!

Saturday my parents came to visit. That was nice. We drove and saw the fall leaves. I love fall and I love the colors.

Pumpkin!!!

The autumnal wind is blowing when you see pumpkins everywhere! I had to use the word autumnal. I like the word autumnal. Now I have probably used it too much! ha ha

I am baking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and it just smells like fall! I love it! It is great the way a smell can just bring memories back and create a feeling.

I have already had pumpkin pie from Lion House last weekend. I made zucchini pumpkin bread last month. Now I am making cookies. What next?

Fortune Cookie

We went out for chinese food for my mom's birthday. This is what my fortune cookie said: "An admirer is concealing his affection for you."

My response was stop concealing yourself and let me know who you are!!!

Snow!!!

I went home to Idaho over the weekend. Yesterday we had SNOW!! October 4th and have snow!! Come on! That is just crazy!! I did not know if I was going to leave or not but it finally cleared up enough that I thought I better head back to my home in Utah.

It was great to see the family! It was my mom's birthday yesterday. She is a great lady! I love her so much. She does so much for everyone that I wanted to do something for her. I got a necklace. It was made by Carrie at work and she did a great job. I just thought that my mom deserved something pretty for herself. She always is looking at jewelry and I thought why not for her.

I got to spend time with Mike, Mom, and Dad. It was nice. I wish that I lived closer to them!
