the fall

Fall came and went in a hurry 'round these parts.

Here's a photo dump of what went down.

Yes, they are all from iphones. I'm quite the lazy photog lately.

Oct 9 I had a girls night where we saw Morning Parade open for The Wombats.
Venue: Crescent Ballroom. My new favorite venue in Phoenix!

Naps between October conference sessions. If you missed it, you missed out.

Homemade Halloween costume. A witch with a tutu made of tulle strips.
The five yr old girl in me was in heaven.

We made a huge, fun mess carving pumpkins (while watching Hocus Pocus- I have a good husband that lets me dork out like that.) Reason #247 why being a home owner is awesome: making a huge mess and having nobody to care about it except ourselves. Maybe I was so happy about that because I haven't really been much a pumpkin carver since a was a kid and back then I had to watch the mess so I wouldn't get in trouble. It was quite a liberating realization, let me tell ya.
I threw an extra handful of pumpkin seeds on the floor in celebration.

I made the effort to learn how to make pizza from scratch. 
Our taste buds and my hips will never be the same.
I don't want any other type of pizza anymore. Home made is where its at.

November brought excitement over holidays, but slow times at work. Buying cruises isn't at the top of peoples priorities this time of year. Hence the boredom coloring at work.
I've also taken up origami to pass the time between calls.

We adopted a 2nd puppy from the pound at the beginning of November.
Chihuahua dachsund mix we named Bob. 

His little tail wags at just about everything. He's a lover and Bodie instant bff.

Seth ran the 5K Mesa Turkey Trot. It was a last minute thing, but he finished like a champion.

I don't have any pictures from when my entire family came to Mesa for Thanksgiving. Lame, right? I know. We're just not a cutesy picture family. We had good times though.
One of my favorite good times was ladies day in the salon. 

It rekindled my love of gel nails.And sparkles. Oh sparkles.

We've been busy and happy around here!
