I love fall weekends!

It's FRIDAY!!  Yay!!  I am looking forward to this weekend!  Tonight is my class bonfire.  I am excited for Nick to meet my classmates and I am anxious to meet their families, too.  We spend a lot of time together and it will be nice to get to know them more as "people".

Tomorrow is an up-in-the-air kind of day.  We have some chores to do, but we are hoping to get to join the Matis for Zoo Boo or a pumpkin patch!  It's supposed to be a beautiful day!  We are also celebrating my Dad's birthday tomorrow night and that should be a lot of fun!

Sunday I have a free day from homework!!  YAY!  I have an off week this week, so no homework!  :-)  I will get to go to my Mom's for dinner and then to my cousin, Vincent's, Eagle Court.  That will be neat!

YAY for weekends!! 

Fun times!

Class last night went well.  It was very short and we were done by 8:30!  It was very nice!  I went to dinner with 4 of my 5 team project members to celebrate.  We have gotten to know each other very quickly and they are fun people.  We all consider ourselves very lucky to be project team mates and we learn a lot from each other.  We had a nice dinner.  We are also having a class bonfire on Friday night so we can meet each other's families.  This is (from left to right) Kayla, Michelle, myself, and Dustin.

Today is my Dad's birthday and I hope he is having a wonderful day!  He had a fall at work last week and broke most of the ribs on his left side.  He's recovering, but it's a slow and painful process, so I hope he's enjoying his day as much as possible.

Celebrations!

I have a few celebrations this week!  Last night was my Dear Mother In Law, Kathy's, birthday celebration.  She likes a local Chinese resteraunt called Lotus Gardens, so we went there for dinner.  It was so yummy!  Always a fun time with them! 

I am also celebrating tonight as it's the final Comm II class I have!  Communications 1 and 2 have been intense, so I am glad to put them behind me.  My teammates and I are going to dinner after class tonight to celebrate!  I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to hold on to my 4.0 GPA after this class.  YAY!  I have one week off class, then I start Intro to American Business on Nov 1.  Weeeeeeeee! 

Great weekend... And HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY!

First and foremost, today is my wonderful Mother-in-Law's birthday!!  Happy Birthday, Kathy!!  I am so blessed to have amazing in-laws.  They have truely welcomed me into their lives and into their hearts.  I could not have hoped for more supportive, loving, and open people in my life.  Kathy is one of the most honest, loyal, devoted, generous and supportive women I have ever known.  She is an amazing mother and I strive to be more like her as a woman and a person.  Love you, Kath! 

I had a wonderful weekend!  My mom and I got to go to Time Out For Women.  We have made the trip an annual tradition and I needed the time with my mom so badly.  TOFW lifts my spirits and refreshes my mind and heart.  I always have so much fun with my Mom and it's so fun to get away with her.  We enjoyed uplifiting talks and music.  We had a gorgous drive over to Cincinnati.  The leaves were awesome!
Here are some photos from the weekend:

I enjoy this time of year so much!  The colors are beautiful!  The air is so crisp!  Saturday night we went to the annual Doty family Bonfire with Kathy's family. It was a wonderful night for a campfire.  I snapped a few photos on my way to work this morning.  I love my morning drive!

Family pictures

Hey!!  Here I am again with another "Long time, no post" post.  I have been keeping super busy and trying to have some fun!
Last weekend, DMIL, DFIL, DH and I did family pictures.  It was a PERFECT day and we had a blast having fun and posing for the camera.  Even DFIL posed and played along!  LOL!
Here are a few from the day!  They turned out GREAT and I can't wait to see the rest!
